Spacestation (ISL / Post-Punk, Shoegaze)

In the organizer's words:

Spacestation prowl the fringes of Reykjavik's rock clubs and bars, capturing every edgy guitar riff, driving bass line and angular feedback sound they can get their hands on.

Like Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine before them, Spacestation strive to redefine what noise can be in the context of pop music.

Their music combines the inventive use of alternative moods, guitar tones and feedback with the intensity of shoegaze, catchy krautrock rhythms and the attitude of 60s psychedelia to create a new, pulsating soundscape that makes you want to spend profound nights dancing with strangers.

The band is at the forefront of an underground scene that defies the slow, market-driven decline of the organic scene. Their music depicts a life away from the glitz and hype of the Instagram-worthy sights and overpriced lattes in Iceland's capital, taking you to the less glamorous, rougher streets. Her debut album "Reykjavík Syndrome", released in March 2025, aims to capture this reality, as well as the joyful anxiety of growing up in a city with endless summer sun and never-ending winter darkness.

In cooperation with Schön Kultur e.V. and with the kind support of the Cultural Office of the City of Mainz
