FAC-Festival mit Goldy.mp3, Dream Wife, Pony Tyler uvm.

We have a new treat for you in our "Femme Art Club" event series! The "Femme Art Club" is a declaration of war on male dominance on the stage: A loud FAC (fuck) in the direction of all the gatekeepers in the event industry! What better way to do this than with a whole evening of concentrated FLINTA* power for more visibility? For the first time, the FAC Festival will feature a reading, a line-up with artists from hip hop, pop, punk and rock, and to top it all off, we'll unite our voices in the big FAC choir!

Everyone is welcome in front of the stage!

Line up
It starts at 5 pm with a reading by journalist Sonja Eismann on the magazine floor. She is co-founder of Missy Magazine and writes for taz, Freitag and Deutschland Funk Kultur, among others. Her book "Candy Girls" about the patriarchal structures in the music industry will be published in September. In an angry and instructive mixture of analysis and reckoning, she shows how deeply sexism and ageism are inscribed in the music industry, how we as consumers have learned and internalized the male gaze, and how abuse and paedosexuality are accepted in almost all genres.

As the first musical act of the FAC festival, Goldy.mp3 will warm us up karmically. Her debut single "Karma" and the song "Sexroboter" featuring Tightill catapulted her into numerous playlists four years ago. Goldy.mp3 is currently working on a new EP, which will be released in October. Punk, Neue Deutsche Welle, hip hop and pop - Goldy.mp3 cannot be reduced to one genre!

The musician Güner Künier is one of the new protagonists of the Berlin post-punk DIY scene. She slams a concentrated load of postpunk, minimal/synthpunk peppered with a good dose of riot grrrl attitude into the FAC festival line-up. On their new album "Yaramaz", which means something like "good for nothing", there are traces of numerous (sub)genres such as flat shoegaze sounds, a velvet underground noir vibe and a bit of krautrock. All in all, "Yaramaz" sounds like an empowering album with a simple but important message: go your own way and don't let anything get in your way. We go along with that!

London-based DIY queer core punk band The Oozes break all the molds - loud, political and with a good dose of attitude! The Oozes are a two-piece, trans-political queer punk band from London. Inspired by classic punk, clowning, drag, performance art and musical theater, their performances are as loud as they can get. The band encourages and embraces freaks, sex positivity and rioters. Their music is about the liberation of transsexuals, denounces fascism and opposes convention - fast and hard.

The musical line-up is rounded off by British punk sensation Dream Wife! Singer Rakel Mjöll (she/her), guitarist Alice Go (she/her) and bassist Bella Podpadec (she/they) - released their rousing third album "Social Lubrication" via Lucky Number last summer to rave reviews. Dream Wife cite Madonna as well as David Bowie and Peaches as influences. A certain Babyshambles attitude and echoes of Joy Division are also evident in the group's pop-punk. Dream Wife confidently ride the lo-fi wave of the 2010s.

With Pony Tyler in the FLINTA* line-up, we want to bundle the energy that has accumulated over the evening and unite it into one big choir! Whether it's "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus, "Herz an Herz" by Blümchen or "Total Eclipse of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler - with mass karaoke and gold sprints, the audience itself becomes the headliner of the evening.

The "Femme Art Club" (FAC) is a series of events that brings virtuoso musicians of all genres, sharp-tongued cabaret artists, eloquent authors and avant-garde performance artists to the stage.
