BRIEFBOMBE & ATOM ATOM @Mattenstrasse

Music/Concert

Punk at Schuppen!!!!

BRIEFBOMBE is a (mail-fronted not male-fronted) postpunk band from Hamburg. Their 20 seconds to 1 minute long hardcore punk / fastcore songs deal with postal and parcel service topics. Solidarity greetings go out to all striking colleagues at DHL, Amazon and the like. Strike, sabotage, long-term expropriation! Blastbeats instead of overtime!

https://briefbombe.bandcamp.com/album/ausgeliefert

ATOM ATOM were founded in Hamburg at the end of 2018 and play biting and rough HC punk with very reverberant alternating vocals. Snappy Uffta-Uffta with the occasional D-beat, sociopolitical and pissed-off lyrics and recently even with a slight wave touch (listen!). The first release ‘Sicker’ came out as a tape in 2019, the first full LP ‘Licht aus’ was released in May 2022. Both are on Bomb-All Records. Something between VKJ, Paragraf 119 and Protestera. Sounds like 80s everything, don't do anything.’

THE MALADROITS (live)

Music/Concert

The Maladroits are a punk band from south Germany. For a long time only with english - but now also german lyrics. Their latest record contains diffuse feelings of hatred and a reckoning with patriarchal power as well as a lot of their classic punk. A balance between angry-depressive and melodic-playful, but always full of energy.

Support by STEREOBIER

Revolutionäres 1.Mai Fest: Die Reichen wollen Krieg, wir eine Zukunft!

Action/Protest/Camp

The rich want war, we want a future!
Solidarity and class struggle against militarization and capital!

Fascism is knocking at the door
A rough wind is blowing. Right-wing extremist parties are reaching for power. The world's largest corporations are positioning themselves and shedding their liberal facade. There is hardly any talk of combating the climate crisis, even though fires and floods are destroying ever larger swathes of land. Rearmament, isolation and austerity programs are the order of the day.

In Switzerland, this means that an SP Federal Councillor is celebrating the fact that he was able to massively increase the number of deportations. The government is making 4 billion euros available for arming the army - and in return wants to save billions on the welfare state. There is non-stop agitation against queerness and the numerous feminicides are just the tip of the patriarchal violence. For workers in all sectors, the stress at work is increasing. Wages remain the same - while prices rise.

While the wars for resources and spheres of influence among the imperialist powers escalate, migrants are being blamed for the crisis. Yet the reasons for both flight in the global South and the deterioration of living conditions in the global North are the same: the capitalist system is causing destruction and impoverishment in order to protect the profits of a small minority.

Fighting together: with a cool head and a hot heart
Current developments can have a paralyzing effect. We rub our eyes in amazement and ask ourselves: is this really happening? We now need two things at the same time. We need to analyze the shifts with a cool head and build resistance with a hot heart.
Because this is also a time that has the potential to politicize entire generations. A decision has to be made: Do you want to close your eyes or do you want to take action and fight together with others? The defensive struggles against genocide, fascism and militarization can simultaneously develop into offensive moments in which the possibility of a different world emerges. The future has not yet been written and hope emerges as a self-determined movement of struggle.

Therefore: Join organized structures, (grassroots) trade unions, anti-racist collectives or anti-patriarchal alliances. Join us on the streets on May 1st as we join forces as an anti-capitalist movement and take to the streets with millions of workers worldwide against the rise of fascism and for an end to capitalism.

Everyone in the anti-capitalist block on May 1st!
9:45 a.m. - Messeplatz Basel.

Having ignited stages at festivals like Frauenfeld and AmBach, as well as clubs in Paris, Amsterdam, and Portugal, ZION delivers an eclectic and electrifying experience where deep basslines and vibrant rhythms collide.

Curly Gumbo Lee
She dances, she burns, she chooses.
Her motion is a whisper, her skin—offered or hidden— at the whim of her desire.
She sheds herself like one escapes a cage,
she moves like a tide untethered,
she welcomes pain like a flickering flame
she slowly bends to her will.

Curly Gumbo Lee is a pulse of life,
a wild energy, a glimmer of rebellion.
She speaks in a language only the bold can hear,
on stage—and in the silence beyond.

Esengo
is a DJ and Producer based between the crossroads of Geneva and Basel in Switzerland, which makes him a very forward-thinking artist. He weaves together the vibrant threads of Kuduro, Gqom, and Vogue Beats, crafting DJ sets that warm rooms and souls.
