FRIEDBERG

Saturday, July 09

With Friedberg’s escapist blend of post-punk, alt-rock and seductive pop songwriting, Friedberg’s sound is made for a night out. Friedberg and the incredibly diverse music is the result of different cities, different relationships, and a “how did I get here” career moment. The result of finding a way through the sometimes confusing web of moving, leaving or changing – the courage to move forward and find your own sound, people, “A-ha” moment and just enjoy it.

DIVES

Friday, July 08

Dora De Goederen, Tamara Leichtfried and Viktoria Kirner met at the Girls Rock Camp 2016, immediately hit it off and already in spring 2017 the first Dives record was completed. Dives’ music doesn’t get out of your head that quickly, because in addition to complex song structures and rhythms, their work is characterized by catchy basslines and harmonious guitar chords, a recipe for successful pop music. The Viennese trio’s chemistry is also evident on stage, the three of them harmonize wonderfully with each other, even though they have only known each other for such a short time and none of them has been playing their instrument for more than two years. Maybe that’s the reason for their so refreshing sound.

 

IKAN HYU

Saturday, July 09

Elastic Plastic Space Power Gangster Future Pop – that’s how pop rebels IKAN HYU their music style. Founded in 2016, the reputation of the explosive duo from Wunterthur/Zurich made waves – before they released their first EP “ZEBRA” in October 2018, IKAN HYU already played over 50 concerts all over Switzerland, among others as a support act for the British rock band Royal Blood. As part of Lift up (Noisey Switzerland), IKAN HYU was listed as one of ten bands that will own the year 2018. With ZEBRA, the IKANs were chosen as SRF Best Talent of the month of November.

THE PEARL HARTS

Friday, July 08

Roll up, roll up, for this energetic duo! We are introducing the glorious, groove-laden sounds of London-based two-piece The Pearl Harts. Raised on a steady diet of riff-heavy classic rock’n’roll and 80s funk, the duo capitalise on that heritage while dragging it firmly into the 21st century.
