Rosalie Cunningham Live at Lido
Some people try very hard to be cool. Others don't seem to have that problem. At Lido, the Duchess of rock and roll reminded us that the coolest people in the room rarely need to prove it.
BRUIT≤ Live at Neue Zukunft
The French quartet turned a sold-out Berlin room into something that felt like a protest, a ritual and, somehow, a small act of hope.
Tinariwen Live at Huxley’s
Tinariwen brought the Sahara to a sold-out Huxleys Neue Welt, and somehow made a big Berlin venue feel warm, human and shared. A night of desert blues, choir melodies and the kind of music that reminds you we all come from somewhere.
Dea Matrona Live at BadeHaus
Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day could only really be done one way: at Badehaus, with a Belfast band, big guitars and enough raised glasses to make it feel official.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Live at SO36
Worshipping a tomato sounds stupid until a sold out SO36 turn into a sold-out rock mass.
HotWax Live at Mikropol
A weird way to get an entire room waxed at the same time, but Mikropol took it surprisingly well. Loud, sharp and oddly satisfying.
Lady Lazarus Live at Mikropol
At Mikropol, punk came back to life sweaty, loud and one wrong move away from falling apart.
UUHAI Live at Lido
Trying to throat sing for 15 years and failing is one thing. Watching UUHAI turn Lido into a room full of imaginary Mongolian warriors is another. Heavy, communal and much closer to a rite of passage than a normal gig.
BAITS Live at Neue Zukunft
If rock and roll was a hook, Neue Zukunft swallowed it whole. The Vienna band came with big riffs, zero posing and the kind of live energy that gets you.
