Von Spar / Eiko Ishibashi / Marker Starling

Concert

Doors: 19:00

Music

approx. 120 min.

“Under Pressure” is the fifth album by the Cologne collective Von Spar, and that makes perfect sense. The title refers to the hit by Queen and David Bowie and underscores that even in the band’s 15th year there can hardly be found any anachronisms or repetitions in their oeuvre. Rather, their subtle understanding of pop in the universal sense skilfully spins electronic, Kraut, minimal, and post-rock into a music for the zeitgeist. This is also reflected in the eclectic selection of guest musicians that fill the vocal vacancy on “Under Pressure”: from lo-fi antihero R. Stevie Moore, Flying Lizard’s Vivien Goldman, Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier and classic melancholic Chris Cummings to multi-instrumentalist and singer Eiko Ishibashi. Ishibashi and Cummings (aka Marker Starling) will each begin the evening in HAU2 with a concert, Ishibashi in a trio, Cummings solo, before they – exclusive for the Berlin appearance – join Von Spar for their appearance.

Latest information for arrival:

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
