The Dharma Chain has become known for delivering distinctive and captivating live performances across Europe. The band is recognized for their ethereal and at times offensive guitars, reverb-soaked vocals, and industrial undercurrents. They have toured extensively across Europe and Australia, appearing at festivals and showcases such as Fusion, Sharpe,
Synästhesie, Duna Jam, U&D, Hoflärm, Praise the Fuzz and Yonder.
In 2022, following their relocation from Australia to Berlin, TDC signed with Anomic Records and released their debut studio album, ‘NOWHERE’. In July 2025, they partnered with Spinda Records in preparation for their second full-length album, scheduled for release in Spring 2026.
Emerging from Byron Bay, Australia, and now thriving in Berlin, TDC, founded in 2020, brings a fluid, ever-shifting approach to their live performances. With no front person, roles constantly shift between members, allowing multiple singers and guitarists to build a powerful wall of sound. This creates a dynamic and unpredictable live experience, where the collaborative energy forms the backbone of their music, ensuring each performance feels like a new journey - constantly evolving and never static.

Cineastischer Wave Chanson zwischen Nierenversagen und Glücksgefühl. Die vierköpfige Kölner Band bringt seit 2023 einen vielschichtigen Sound zwischen Psych, Wave und Chanson auf die Bühne, der unterschiedlichste Lautstärkepegel bedient, häufig melodisch-zart anklingt und sich bei verzerrtem Bass, Gitarren und Synthesizern in Kracheskapaden auflöst. Songwriterin und Sängerin Miriam setzt dabei auf Stimmungen, die einer hypnotisch-bezaubernden, sowie düsteren Klangvision folgen. Inspiriert durch klanglich harmonische Einflüsse von Johnny Marr bis Ennio Morricone, versetzen Amri Pardos Gitarren die Songs in cineastische Sphären und unterstreichen die Dramaturgie der Texte.
