Verstärker + Bloke

Hello dear community! We our helping our dear friends to put this nice concert night at Neue Zukunft. Verstärker is playing in Berlin for their second time after selling out last year October at Schokoladen. This year Bloke will join the show!!

Verstärker < Kentucky , USA >

Honed on the sounds of krautrock, post-punk, no wave, and drone, American instrumental trio Verstärker is a sound and a vision united in the quest for motorik space exploration.

Their debut record – ‘Aktivität’ – was recorded in 2015 and released via their own SpaceLab Records. In 2018, Tonzonen Records gave the release its vinyl debut. As critic Renato Malizia of The Blog That Celebrates Itself states, ‘Aktivität’ is “forty-five minutes (that) lead you to hypnotic terrain, extra sensory sensations, cosmic spaces with repetitions, drones and loops in the service of the anti-song.”

Following on from their sold-out debut, which saw the band pick up a fast-growing reputation in the psych underground, Verstärker made numerous compilation appearances including Psych Against Cancer Vol. 1 and Reverb Conspiracy Vol. 6 from Fuzz Club.

Their long-awaited follow-up album, ‘Jenseits’ was released in October 2023 on Fuzz Club. ‘Jenseits’ is the band’s response to the modern dystopian world we now inhabit – taking on a heavier and even darker tone than what came before.

“To escape from the common space, Verstärker is the solution.” – TBTCI.

Bloke < London – Berlin >

Formed in the North London alternative scene in 2022, BLOKE play psychedelic kraut noise.

Making their mark in 2024 by recently dropping their first live single “Survivor” through Setmixer, the band, now based in Berlin, is getting ready to release a new single. Their debut EP is scheduled for release at end of this
year. Electronic textures, squalling guitars, driving bass lines, and pounding industrial drums, BLOKE perform live shows with their distinctive
wall of sound, offering a more diverse experience.
