MISCHIEF BREW
play Folk Punk at is finest. Since years this band has been going with different line ups behind them. Now we can be happy that they finally come to Vienna. Humorous political lyrics and great music. Definitely a must see!
KNÖTARÖT
There is no need to say much about this band. They played plenty of times in Vienna and the EKH, and toured Europe several times. And still or better because of this, we all are really looking forward to them coming again to us. They also have a new line up. For those who don’t now this great band: Punk-Trash-Polit-Performance-Pop-Hardcore-Cabarett-??? Their lyrics are always a central point with their political message.

SLUX
Coolest queer punk from Göttingen. Often but not often enough in our house!.
FUCK YOU WRITTEN IN SHIT
So, the first gig on mainland europe for the crazy people of FUCK YOU WRITTEN IN SHIT from Dublin. Most of them played already in bands some of you might know, like the Dagda, Putrifaction, Lynched,… But this band is going in a complete new direction, called GLAMROCK. Yes you read right, here are Punks playing Glamrock, and this sounds fucking deadly, and invites you to dance and sing along. Nice people, cool project!

3 pm: Demonstration – Free Spaces instead of yuppie penthouses!
Meeting point for concentration: Viennese southern trainstation “Südbahnhof” Liberated Spaces Instead of Yuppie Lofts!
This district, along with many others, is undergoing a transformation. Older houses and former industrial areas are being torned down and/or turned into hip, expensive lofts and office spaces.It can be expected that because of these processes of gentrification the rent prices in the area will increase. The directed efforts to increase the value of the surrounding living spaces as well as restauration and remodelling work lead to an expulsion of marginalized by privileged parts of the population.
Liberated spaces can also be a factor in this process as long as they are conformist and comply with the power relations of capitalism, nationalism, patriarchy and the State.
We are fighting for free living spaces for everyone (!) and for the creation and preservation of non-conformist liberated spaces!
Give the houses to those who live in them! // The houses belong to those who live in them!

6 pm: Streetparty
This year on the Keplerplatz with Giant-twister, Bike-action and Lynched - An amazing two man folk band hailing from the wet arse of the emerald isle, are gracing us with their insurrectionary renditions of traditional and original ballads-laced-with-revolutionary-poison; backed up by hauntingly beautiful guitar, tin whistle and plenty of harmonizing gravelly vocals.

10 pm: Concerts
KURZER PROZESS
a musical explosive device, punkrap, crust-hop, fist-rap, left radical propaganda, rap-hardcore without instruments, slow polit-jungle, wack-shit, ...
GUTS PIE EARSHOT
Hmm, also this band should be known by most of you. They have been playing for more than 15 years now. Since quite a while they are only instrumental. It is a bit hard to describe their music style. Cello and drums add effects, sometimes fast slow savage smooth equals Punk Electro Techno Jazz Classic.

BRAMBILLA
Also the nice people of BRAMBILLA, don’t need any further introduction. They are playing political Punk/HC with a lot of melody, energy and rage for more than 10 years. A lot of bands could take a piece of their songwriting. Emotional, political, straight forward, and never embarrassing. Great Band! Great People! So there can’t be anything wrong! www.med-user.net/brambilla
TRASHEDY
Describes himself as Electronic Anarch@punk. And that´s what it is, TRASHEDY are playing political punk, but it is only one person, who makes something pretty unique and genius, armed only with his voice, a drum machine and a Cassio keyboard. 80s New Wave meets Anarch@ Punk, and somehow pretty dark. He also plays some covers of bands like Tragedy and Cress. You definitely should not miss this! Recordings and other stuff: www.trashedy.de
