Interview with KaiLF (music, production), Marc Ess (lyrics, vocals), and Heike Blauert-Lühe (vocals) from Manic P
After more than three decades, the silence has lifted - and MANIC P return with both a whisper from the past and a resounding echo into the future. Originally born in the vibrant early 90s scene, the band carved a distinct space with their debut ‘God’s Tears’, released under Hyperium Records. But the follow-up never came - until now.

When we arrive just before half past twelve, a small group of music enthusiasts has already gathered, including the usual suspects from yesterday, who we greet warmly. The grill is fired up, and some guests are already enjoying food from the stand by the entrance. Others pass the time with lively conversations. The second group for today’s Stadtbad tour is also waiting to get started. What’s that about a Stadtbad tour? If you’re curious, just check out our article from yesterday’s Warm-Up.

Interview with Sasha Raoul (vocals, guitar) and Rick Manson (guitar) from Deathtrippers
Goth music is traditionally associated with all that is dark, melancholy and macabre. So the concept of a psychedelic goth band sounds like an oxymoron. Yet Leeds based band DEATHTRIPPERS are often described as just that. Established in 2015 by the charismatic frontman Sasha Raoul, DEATHTRIPPERS are a kaleidoscope of psychedelic Rock / Goth / Shoegaze and Electro. The band is comprised of Sasha, Rick Manson on guitars and Beth O Mas on keyboards, their eclectic and somewhat transient style is a result of Sasha’s experimentation with multiple genres from Goth to Acid House and Garage.

Skunk Anansie & Support: So Good
SKUNK ANANSIE are back in Germany for five concerts! 30 years after their founding and over eight years since their last studio album, fans can once again look forward to new music and a European tour! When SKUNK ANANSIE formed in London in 1994, the music scene was dominated by Britpop - driven by white men with guitars. However, the four band members - Deborah “Skin” Dyer, Martin “Ace” Kent, Richard “Cass” Lewis, and Robbie - stood out: as one of the first mixed-race bands, they drew attention right from the start. As support, “Bratpop” band SO GOOD was accompanying the tour.
