About This Event

"I wanna blow up in the endless noise of whatever’s left to come." Music is everything. It’s the ups and downs, the euphoria and lethargy. It comforts you, it drowns you, only to lift you up again, kiss you deeply, and stay with you forever. Two people who have deeply internalized this feeling are long-time friends Darius Lohmüller and Jakob Walheim, who run their band THE DEADNOTES with an unwavering all-or-nothing mentality. Driven by sheer determination and passion, they have traveled extensively all across Europe together, performed live over 600 times to a slowly yet continually growing audience, sold more and more records, experienced both the best and most grueling moments of their lives, destroyed themselves physically and mentally, fallen into deep debt multiple times, but never once questioned for a single day that they were doing it for the right cause.

But there is one fundamental truth: the volume, the late nights, the brutally honest lyrics, that feeling of what rock and roll can mean...it can save you, no matter what. It can show you the way, help you get back on your feet. Those who have felt it know it to be true. The destructive power of rock ‘n’ roll is well-documented and THE DEADNOTES know it all too well, but band members Darius Lohmüller and Jakob Walheim prefer to emphasize the unfathomable, yet always tangible, power of music. For the two friends, adopting the album name and ethos behind it was a no-brainer. Opening track ‘December 31st’ kicks open the doors in style: t
