PENDEJO - Heavy Rock in Spanish with Balls the size of Danny deVito !!!

Heavy horns, brutal riffs, pounding drums, cojones and Spanish, urban lyrics that make you wonder: “Did they just say that?”. Yes, they did - and they go by the name of ¡Pendejo!

The founding cousins from the Netherlands have their roots in Latin America. Their music is described as heavy, addictive or rough and shrill.
In December 2007 the guys played their first show in Caracas (Venezuela) and after that numerous tours through Europe and Latin America with bands like “Fu Manchu” or “Monster Magnet”.

KICKIN VALENTINA is for me one of the most grateful and best live bands. The 4 guys from the USA always deliver 200%.
Uncompromising rock 'n' roll that blasts from the speakers deep into your stomach! Awesome riffs, cool choruses and a groovy voice give the ensemble a unique touch. The album “Star Spangled Fist Fight”, released in 2024, really hit the spot.
A concert not to be missed.

StOp sToP hat sämtlche Konzerte 2025 abgesagt, weil bisher kein neuer Gitarrist gefunden werden konnte.

Star Crystal, formed in Ukraine in 2012 by Susanna Radimovskaya, the talented vocalist of the band, delivers a high-energy, larger-than-life sound inspired by the legends of 80's glam metal. With a theatrical stage presence and electrifying guitar solos, Star Crystal has quickly become one of the hottest acts in the modern glam metal scene.
Hailing from the birthplace of 80's glam metal, Star Crystal is dedicated to bringing the spirit of the genre to a new generation of fans. Under the leadership of Susanna Radimovskaya, the band's powerful vocals, driving beats, and fist-pumping anthems have won over audiences at venues across the country, earning them the respect of fans and fellow musicians alike.
The band's discography includes two albums, "Follow Me" and "Revival of Glam", as well as two hit singles "Come On Baby" and "Wild Wind" and 7 music videos. Star Crystal has also embarked on successful tours throughout Europe, including performances in France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Austria, Slovenia(Metal Days fest), Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, and Italy.
 

EVA - Echo vom Aathal - After the dissolution of the Swiss heavy/thrash veterans DRIFTER in 2011, three of the remaining members founded the band Echo vom Aathal and still play together in the same line-up today:
Gabor Szabo: vocals, bass - Peter Wolff: guitar, alphorn - Roland Ribi: drums.
In the well-established Swiss tradition of violent metal, the band plays bone-dry, tried-and-tested alt-metal.
The band name is deliberately folksy, as Peter Wolff not only plays his six-string under the new flag, but also blows the alphorn, which is played traditionally but blown through overdriven guitar amplifiers.
Together with the German lyrics, this gives the actually straightforward metal a pretty wacky overall look.

 

FIVE WAYS TO NOWHERE - HI FUELED ROCK N ROLL

Powerful loud guitars, aggressive and groovy riffs, a rough voice and melodies that grab the listener. A mix of hard rock and metal creates an explosive and melodic sound, similar to Halestorm, Guano Apes, Papa Roach and others. The band has been touring Europe since 2015 and has shared the stage with greats like Manowar, David Ellefson (Megadeth), Thundermother or Hammerfall, played at Hellfest in France, Masters of Rock or Riverside Aarburg.
