barrier-free
Love, Peace & Happiness – at this year’s Long Night, the Gasteig HP8 will become a stage completely devoted to the “Flower Power Festival Munich.” Bands will be performing contemporary interpretations of bluegrass, folk, indie and psychedelic rock. But that’s not all, not by a long shot! On a total of three stages, eight bands in all will once again be transforming the Gasteig HP8 between Flaucher and Heizkraftwerk to the southernmost party mile of the Long Night. It’s worth it to come early because the halls offer limited capacity.
AM KULTURKRAFTWERK
8 – approx. 11 pm:
Silent Disco
Earphones on, music channel selected, and off you go: Silent Disco is a lot of fun. And all can celebrate along – open air.
SAAL X
(Flower Power Stage)
8 – 9 pm:
The Komets
This band from Regensburg has conquered hearts and ears with minimalist sound and maximal evocative, harmonized vocals. Their music is multifaceted indie pop/folk with influences from soul and jazz. Thoughtful melancholy woven in with light-hearted moments.
9.30 – 10.45 pm:
Johnny & the Yooahoos
They come from the Munich area and are at home with bluegrass. Johnny & the Yooahoos create from three-voice vocals, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and contrabass a very special blend that shifts back-and-forth from big-city smog to idyllic countryside, from indie folk to Americana with occasional outings into genre-extraneous sound spheres.
11.15 pm – 12.15 am:
Daisy Dreams
This band is living the dream: In the first six months after its founding, Daisy Dreams have toured through Bavaria, played alongside the Crawlers and at the after-show party of the Libertines, and all along still worked on their first album “Moya Moya.” The sound of the five Munich artists is an energetic blend of post punk, dream pop and indie rock.
HALLE E
11 pm – 12.15 am:
Paula Carolina
Her buzzwords are energy, lots of it, a rough sound and earworm melodies. Paula Carolina grew up at the foot of the Bavarian Alps and is presently living in Mannheim. Her next concerts will be loud: Basses and guitars will pack a punch and the wildly dancing crowds will be singing along to her songs criticizing society as if they had been there all along.
12.45 – 2 am:
Die Sauna
The sextet from the Alpine lake of Schliersee have played their way into the heart of indie Germany with German-language indie rock and post punk. The albums “So schön wie jetzt war es noch nie” and “In die Nacht hinein,” are tailor-made for today’s zeitgeist – with Die Sauna, The Strokes’ New York indie rock meets up with Bilderbuch’s Austrian pop.
PROBENSAAL
8 – 8.45 pm:
Melli Zech
This singer/songwriter comes from Munich. She describes her music as “color-crazy emotional chaos.” Melli Zech sings of setting out and breaking out, of wonderful friendships and unrequited love, sometimes softly, sometimes angrily. Mostly in English, but ever more often now in German too.
9 – 9.45 pm:
Saguru
Alex Turner and Bon Iver inspire his music. That is where Saguru from Munich found his own sound, a blend of guitar, dazzling vocals and silky, high-pressure electronica. He writes songs that bear within them melancholy darkness but also awakening, the clear and the feather light.
10 – 11 pm:
Nico Weber Trio
The trio with Susi Lotter on contrabass and Niklas Rehle on guitar is a formation without a rhythm instrument. This gives a lot of leeway to trumpeter Nico Weber. For their program, these three students at the Munich’s music polytechnic HMTM have selected lyrical jazz standards and some of their own compositions. The art of the trumpet – in a very special ambience.
