Sleaford Mods

In the organizer's words:

The British band Sleaford Mods are coming to Kassel for the first time!

The "best rock'n'roll band in the world" says Iggy Pop about the duo. The quote comes from a movie about the band from Nottingham: "Bunch of Kunst" is the name of the movie and it is more than worth seeing and hearing. There is a lot of swearing. The energetic songs are about everyday frustration in Brexit country, spoken, sung and snotted in the best East Midlands accent, with lots of swear words and a great deal of humor. Here, Sleaford Mods fulfill an old promise of punk: Anyone standing in front of the stage could - in theory - also be on stage. "Working-class heroes", they don't like to hear that. But Jason Williamson, agitated singer and reed sparrow, works his way through everything that is annoying, unjust, evil or - quite simply - stupid in his environment. Politics is right at the forefront, but the annoying neighbor also gets his comeuppance.

Unlike many bands, Sleaford Mods rely on a deliberately simple setup: Williamson delivers his lyrics live directly to the audience, his voice is raw, aggressive, always immediate, Fearn provides the rhythmic basis, electronic and reduced. It is precisely this combination, brought to the point, that makes their concerts a unique experience: this is not a classic rock or pop performance, but a moment in which beat, voice and lyrics interact directly and result in a raw, powerful performance.

This evening in the tent will certainly not be forgotten for a long time.

The concert is unseated. (However, there are seats in the stands for early birds)
