Musik: 20 Jahre Staatsakt — Die Jubiläumstour

What appears is good, what is good appears.

20 years of Staatsakt. 20 years of independent label biz. 20 years of gentrification and digital transformation. 2 years of Schröder, 16 years of Merkel and soon 2 years of Scholz.

In October 2023 the Berlin label will celebrate its 20th birthday with a big tour, a book published by Verbrecher Verlag, vinyl re-releases of out-of-stock classics of the label and last but not least: a new album by the label’s in-house band: Die Türen. They’re only as old as they feel. After all, they are always reinventing themselves - and that without moving with the times.

What appears is good, what is good appears - The tour:

In different line-ups they want to party with you! In clubs and venues that mean something to them. Always present and already mentioned: Die Türen (in the constellation Ramin Bijan, Chris Imler, Gunther Osburg, Andreas Spechtl and Maurice Summen). After all, they founded the label in 2003 and are now bringing their sixth album to the party. In Munich, the Friends of Gas can’t be missing either - because they are from Munich and have already upstaged half of Berlin. The open mouths of their concert-goers often close only hours after the end of the concert. That’s how intense, crashing and at the same time clever their style of post punk is. That Munich is not Seattle is on the one hand a truism. On the other hand, the truism creates another good argument for Nichtseattle to join them on stage. Truisms and corny jokes are as much a part of the Staatsakt cosmos as good music and newsletters that pulverize the zeitgeist. The fact that she is one of the most exciting newcomers on the German-language singer-songwriter scene is, of course, much more important.
