PLEXI STAD / // LOHN DER ANGST 24.01.25 A cheerful melody in Plexi Stad's world quickly unravels into a darker, more abrasive soundscape. An invitation to dance transforms into a sonic confrontation, revealing the band's penchant for teasing the listener with unexpected twists. The cheerful facade dissolves into an intense and raw expression that refuses to bend to the prevailing norms. The poetic punk prowess of singer Peleman is as much seductive as it is dismissive. There's no compromise in both the instrumental and lyrical delivery.
The band delves into the dark sounds of James Chance & The Contortions, embracing the dissonant and unpredictable. Simultaneously, they channel the defiant spirit of bands like The Pop Group and TC Matic. Plexi Stad absorbs, reinterprets, and spits out a sound that is uniquely theirs. ///////////////////// Named after a French drama from 1953, recently remade in 2024, Lohn Der Angst defies the sound of both eras. With growling synths, hypnotic drumming, and yelled vocals, the duo navigates through rough terrain, best experienced in their intense live shows.
Nachschlag and Mangel now release the second tape for this project, with members also performing in Schwund, Kryptkeeper, Das Das, Die Hühnerfickerkombo, and more... ///////////////// 24.01.25, 15CHF, DOORS: 21:00, poster by @oscareschbach
