Garage-Rock
Over the last few years, THE SCHIZOPHONICS have built up a formidable reputation around the world as an explosive live act. Tapping into the same unstoppable combination of rock 'n' roll energy and showmanship that fueled THE MC5 in the heyday of the Grande Ballroom, their wild live show is heavily influenced by artists like JAMES BROWN, IGGY POP, JIMI HENDRIX, LITTLE RICHARD, and THE SONICS. Singer/ guitarist Pat Beers and drummer Lety Beers formed the band in San Diego in 2009 and have worked tirelessly since then, playing hundreds of shows around the globe. In 2013 they were recruited as the backing/opening band for EL VEZ, which helped the band make a name for itself in Europe. Since then, they've played in numerous countries, and supported tours by like-minded acts like THE CHAT, COSMIC PSYCHOS, ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMIES, ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, LITTLE BARRIE, THE WOGGLES and have opened for the DAMNED, DEVO, HIVES and CAGE THE ELEPHANT. Shindig magazine described their live show "Like watching some insane hybrid of WAYNE KRAMER, JAMES BROWN, and the Tasmanian Devil".
The band is more than just a live act; they're also committed to writing great memorable songs. They’re currently finishing work on their fourth full length which should be out at the end of 2025. The band will be very busy the next year with extensive tour dates around the world. The Schizophonics- hailed by Spotify as the "wildest live band in America" - wouldn't want it any other way.
Die Dirtshakes sind die Erfinder des Dirt-Sounds, einer vollkommen eigenen Stilrichtung, von der böse Zungen behaupten, sie sei stark von Acts wie den Angry Samoans, Radio Birdman, Saints, MC5, Ramones und vom Rock´n Roll ( der Musik des Teufels) im allgemeinen inspiriert. Eins steht jedoch fest: Die Dirtshakes haben nicht nur Hits sondern rocken auch das Haus ganz gewaltig. Die Dirtshakes sind seit 2001 aktiv und und sind immer noch The Kings of the Boogaloo!
Einlass: 20h, Beginn: 21.30h, Eintritt: 16€
