as part of the neustadt art festival join us to listen to some live music by sophie followed by Drunk at Your Wedding
Sophie: As a guitarist for Pyogenesis, Sophie enjoyed a lot of touring during the late 90s and 2000s. But then came a very long break and she just restarted with a few small concerts this year, still experimenting with different formats. Her new Songs cover her personal ups and downs, and some of them respond to a world that has become more and more complex and unsteady. She recently began to also include some French lyrics, and she’ll be performing solo on acoustic guitar.For this show she’s also going to include some interpretations of her own favorite songs from bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and others.
DRUNK AT YOUR WEDDING, named after an old Bill Callahan song, is the project of Berlin-based singer/songwriter Nina Töllner. She likes noisy indie rock and traditional folk, and has a soft spot for gloomy stories and dry humour. DaYW songs take unexpected turns, oscillate between fragile and loud, and combine catchy tunes with minor modes. The album I HAVE TO GO HOME (2021, Bohemian Strawberry) was warmly received by German magazines/websites such as Spiegel Online, Rolling Stone, VISIONS and Kaput Magazin. The third DaYW album GHOST GEAR (2023/24), bothers little with conventional song structure. Instead, it steps more frequently on the overdrive pedal while pondering the darker side of human nature or the eccentricities of the English language.
