THE SUNDAY MATINEE IS BACK!!!

Hi! We’re back! Yes The Sunday Matinee is back and due to the eviction of the XB Collective from XB LIebig on Liebigstr on November 2017, the matinee had to find a new home. This took a little bit to but we’re very happy to announce our comeback and to start a new season of monthly events at beloved Internet Explorer in Neukölln.

The first Matinee of 2018 will be on Sunday 13 of May with a killer line up:

-ToPdoWn is power–rock–trio based between Portland, OR and Berlin, Germany. TOP DOWN started 2015 in Portland, as an international trio with band members from the US, New Zealand & Germany. Shortly after, mighty Fred Cole of Dead Moon home-recorded and produced the band's first musical outcome that eventually turned into a 7" released by Voodoo Doughnut Recordings in May 2016. The complete 2015 recording session (6 songs) is available on tape on NO CHANCE records. In March 2016 Berlin based artist Jay Gard joined the band for a couple of live shows in Berlin & Leipzig and the band's first US tour in the Pacific Northwest. Throughout February 2017 TOP DOWN was honoured to support Fred & Toody Cole of Dead Moon during their European Tour took them to Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. In 2017 Voodoo Doughnut Recordings released TOP DOWN's debut album ROUGH ROADS.   They recently relocated to our city for god knows how long and in order to celebrate that they had their first berlin recording session recently released on Flexi-Postcard. Cool format huh? That’s their new single, Let’s Do It! check it out here https://topdown-pdx.bandcamp.com

-Aemong Currently based in Berlin, Aemong is comprised of members Henrique Uba and Yu-Ching Huang; from Brazil and Taiwan respectively. The amalgamation of their shared backgrounds, influences and sonic identities encompass exactly what Diskotopia has been about from day one: the juxtaposition of cultures, sounds and ideas to forge exciting new paths. Influenced by no wave, noise rock and legendary bands such as Fugazi and Big Black; Aemong had set out to build a denser sound with this album than with what they had done on their previously released material. The tracks comprising 1000 distill elements of new wave, dub, industrial and pop which are then meticulously siphoned into off-kilter compositions with mesmerizing effects. Unabashedly psychedelic, playful yet executed with deadly precision, Aemong have delivered a truly resounding body of work. Check out their new album 1000 here https://aemong.bandcamp.com/releases

-Naked Straight Edgers on Coke is the enthusiastic duo project of two of the most bored musicians in Berlin. Mixing together punk attitude, jazzy stuff, noisy distorsions and odd times, they will make you shout, laugh and indeed cry. They are rarely naked (but we wish they will in this occasion), not Xstraight-edgeX at all and for legal reasons not on coke nor speed.

Jot it down on your calendar, t-h-i-r-t-e-e-n-o-f-m-a-y, yeah, Sunday and yes indeed at 4PM, Internet Explorer. If you don’t know where the place is, drop us a message we’ll let you know in no time!
