Concert at the Kulturhof Lübbenau: Midwich Cuckoos

"[Midwich Cuckoos](http://www.facebook.com/midwichcuckoosmusic)" redefine punk rock for the 21st century, with an explosive mix of hard rock, punk, and metal, spiced with the nostalgic bravado of classic rock. The six-member band from London is as fearless in their songwriting as they are in their chaotic, energy-fueled live shows. The band has carved out its place in the British punk and alternative scene, earning a reputation as a wild live act often compared to The Distillers, Motörhead, The Bronx, and The Offspring. However, their sound goes even further, weaving influences from Faith No More, Deftones, Fleetwood Mac, and AC/DC, giving each track a distinctive flair. What began in 2017 as an international recording experiment with contributions from musicians in Italy, Brazil, and other countries soon evolved into a powerful London ensemble. This collaboration led to their debut album "We Are Everywhere" in 2018, laying the groundwork for their ambitious concept album "Death or Glory" (2022). The album combines the nostalgia of 80s film soundtracks with heavy riffs, catchy hooks, and intricate harmonies. With the soulful singer Mel Hassan and lead guitarist Ricardo St. Hilaire, "Midwich Cuckoos" burst into their next chapter with renewed vigor. Their story, marked by explosive performances at Camden Rocks, Desert Fest, Rebellion, Decolonise Fest, and Manchester Punk Festival, as well as shared stages with The Casualties, The Bellrays, Kid Bookie, Svetlanas, GBH, and Maid of Ace, solidifies their status as one of the most exciting crossover bands in the UK. Box office: €15.
