BERLIN POST PUNK!
RomaTrial presents: BERLIN POST PUNK! a Feminist Band*s Happening! The green t-shirt with the slogan „Girls invented punk, not England“ worn by Kim Gordon is for sure one of the most memorable outfits of music history. And that slogan is true: the revolutionary and disruptive force of punk should rightfully called feminist too. No music scene has so many FLINTA people involved in, and the whole new wave scene that scattered from it has an impressive numbers of FLINTA artists and bands that took their music in any disparate direction, sometimes incredibly far away from any rock clichee.
PIEUVRE, VORSICHT KINDER & JEJEJE (bands associated with the label K i t c h e n L e g R e c o r d s) are going to show perfectly an uncompromising originality in their music being the playfullness infused of the alcolpop-neue deutsche welle of Vorsicht Kinder, the math max rhythms with minimalist approach and beautiful melodies of Jejeje or the abrasive, yet very pop no-wave punk funk of Peiuvre“
PIEUVRE is a sensation from the bubbly Berlin underground, started magically by coincidences, missing connections and a bit of luck. Once Pia, Lina and Fege met, they fused their influences patching together raw-no wavey guitars, a punk-funk like rhythm session and well crafted vocal melodies in three languages. Playful, dance-able, very feminist and mostly quite impertinent. They released their debut „Hyperstretch“ with Kitchenleg Records in 2023 and a music video for their single “Wardrobe” in May 2024. ByteFM praised Pieuvre’s debut as „grungy lo-fi post-punk, for fans of fuzzed-out guitar sounds“.

Vorsicht Kinder
Well, do you still remember the delicious alcopops – those sweet, sticky alcoholic mixed drinks from your youth that gave you many an excessive high?
That’s what the music of VORSICHT KINDER sounds like and from it they claim their own music genre: alcopop – nice and cheap and banging.
VORSICHT KINDER are four friends from Berlin who have been playing concerts regularly since 2019 and released their first album ‘Verschluck dich nicht’ on the Berlin label Kitchen Leg Records in 2023. Their style is described as a mixture of post-punk, no-wave and Neue Deutsche Welle that playfully breaks down genre boundaries and song structures. They regularly swap instruments on stage and in Dadaist-feminist lyrics – which sometimes lead somewhere and sometimes into the void – they process states of lust, anger, intoxication and senselessness: Fuck the Banana!

Jejeje is a Spanish onomatopoeia which stands for a skeptical mocking laughing and/or for an apologetic laugh. Jejeje is also a Berlin-based trio that combines post pop, post punk and math max rhythms with a minimalist approach.
Band members are Jordi (Parmesano, Nunofyrbeeswax, El Gos Binari), Itacate (Roto) and Zutoia (Muerte y Destrucción, Come ‘n Wait). They got together thanks to the existence of Ojalá Esté Mi Bici, a DIY music collective from Barcelona, and to a house concert of Geoff Farina (Karate) and mOck in Berlin in 2018.
Until now, they have self-released a split tape together with their friends Nunofyrbeeswax. Additionally, in December 2022 they appeared in a Xmas punk cover compilation released by Discos Pinya (Barcelona).
All three members are looking forward to the release of their first album in 2024, co-release with Repetidor.
