GRUPPA KARL-MARX-STADT bittet zur Balkan-Party!
Die ersten Töne aus Trompete und Saxophon geben das Startsignal, die Drums und eine riesige Bass-Balalaika lassen die ersten Tanzbeine schwingen. Im Publikum steigt das Balkan-Fieber:
Logisch, denn die GRUPPA KARL-MARX-STADT ist im Haus! Dabei gibt Frontmann Alexey knallige Eigenkompositionen ebenso wie bewährte Gute-Laune-Songs zum Besten – immer mit augenzwinkernden Texten und charmantem Akzent. Ob Ska-Punk, Punk-Rock oder Elektro-Pop –
vor dem feurigen Drive der Gruppa ist einfach kein Rhythmus auf diesem Globus sicher.

Zu verspielt für Punk, zu dreckig für Indie, zu wütend für Pop – das sind Rong Kong Koma. Reibeisenstimme und treibendes Schlagzeug treffen in Hochspannung auf filigran-ballernde Gitarren und einen hüpfenden Bass. „Die härteste Band im Pop. Die softeste Band im Punk. Sie sind all das, was andere Bands nicht sein wollen. Eingängige Songs, maximal schrammelig und punkig gespielt. Ohrwürmer mit Ecken und Kanten. Dazu rotzfreche Texte, für die man jederzeit eine Tracht Prügel kassieren könnte – oder eine Umarmung.“ (OX)
Rong Kong Koma sind eine hochenergetische, bunte Live-Band mit komplexen Violent-Pop-Superpower-Songs aus Berlin.
Ogenj can be described as Croatian Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys. This punk folk band from Koprivnica is already widely known for its energetic and fierce live performances all over the Europe. They successfully managed to transfer most of their energy into the studio – making their debut album Domaj – a music bomb and winning awards and recognition from Croatian Phonographic Association in 2019 (PORIN). Unlike their suchlike’s in artistic expression, they don’t play Celtic
punk, but punk with influences of Croatian ethno music.
Traditional and punk-rock elements are fused together, twice as strong in their new folk-punk anthem Kaj nebi bilo and new album Si kak jen. Ogenj are now fiercer than ever, their sound itself has changed through adding new instruments and expanding musical horizons with a more mature and studious approach, and a higher level of production.
2024 will be in the sign of new album called „RepubliKaj“, – traditional roots with good „old“ known punk rock energy of the band. Till today, three new singles announced the spirit of new album coming. Crazy fast Da sam znal, very Fil“artistic“ Kyrie, and freshy.

French rock outfit Irnini Mons approach post-punk in an oblique, candid way. With the intent of contributing to the relevancy of modern guitar-based music, they put their four personas at work since 2021 to craft a mixed, diverse solution of indie, progressive, pop and grungy rock. Formed with ex-members of the former punk band Decibelles (endorsed by the legendary producer Steve Albini), the four musicians all sing, sometimes in solo, sometimes in polyphony, always in French.
After touring intensely in several European countries, including a run with Shellac in 2022 and prestigious festivals (Trans Musicales – Rennes, MENT – Ljubljana, MaMA Music & Convention – Paris), the band will release its first full length album in spring 2024.
Line-up: Fanny Bouland (drums, vocals), Guillaume Carle (bass, vocals), Sabrina Duval (guitar, vocals), Valentin Fayaud (guitar, vocals)
