At the heart of the Goethe-Institut North America's Alle gegen Alles: Punk@50 program is a North American club tour by Berlin garage-punk band CAVA. Emerging from Berlin's DIY scene, CAVA is known for explosive live performances that channel the raw energy and urgency at the heart of punk. Their sound blends garage rock grit, distorted guitars, feedback, and driving rhythms into an intense and uncompromising concert experience.


About the project

Alle gegen Alles. Punk@50 is a transatlantic collaborative project of the Goethe-Institutes in the United States and Mexico, led by the Goethe-Institutes in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Marking the 50th anniversary of punk, the project brings together exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, and discussion formats in a polyphonic dialogue on subculture, protest, and self-determination. Developed in close collaboration with local partners, it fosters a vibrant network that connects historical perspectives with contemporary artistic positions — demonstrating that punk continues to resonate as both an attitude and a catalyst for social debate and engagement.



About the band

CAVA identify as punks and feminists. They channel their rage with the status quo through unforgettably powerful, high energy live shows and engage listeners with thoughtful, catchy lyrics (main themes include sexism, classism, capitalism, feminism). The band has sharpened their skills and demonstrated their stamina with over 200 live shows throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland and beyond.
They have shared the stage with international touring acts like Lambrini Girls, Sleaford Mods, Death Valley Girls, Spite Fuxx, Beatsteaks, Bibione, Tocotronic, Team Scheisse, Leopard and more. Festivals they’ve performed include Fusion Festival, Breminale, Back To Future Festival to name a few.
The band has been featured in VISIONS, Kulturnews, L-Mag, Musikexpress and on the air at FluxFM, radioeins & fritz, Bayern 2, MDR Kultur. Their current album, Powertrip, has been met with praise from press and media outlets:
“No small talk here—this is a call to action: sharp, uncompromising, and bursting with power.”
- Kulturnews
“Powertrip amps up the anticipation for the next mosh pit—and for knocking out the next jerk who steps out of line.”
- VISIONS
“Distorted guitars, driving drums, and angrily spat-out self-empowerment lyrics deliver hit after hit, clocking in at two minutes apiece.”
- Radioeins
CAVA is on Instagram (@cavacavaca) and you can find their music on YouTube, Spotify and Bandcamp.
