SWEARING AT MOTORISTS

In the organizer's words:

Swearing At Motorists return to Molotow on November 8, 2025 to celebrate the release of their new album "31 Seasons In The Minor Leagues" on Hamburg's own label BB*Island - and this is more than just a concert, it's a real full-circle moment. Eleven years after their last record release show at Molotow, the band is back - this time as Hamburg local heroes, having already played all three incarnations of the legendary club: first as tour guests, now as a permanent part of the city's musical scene. The new album, a raw and reflective chronicle of a life on the edge, was recorded in a unique way at FC St. Pauli's Millerntor stadium - the first album ever to be produced in a Bundesliga stadium. In addition to the live premiere of the new songs, the band will also dig deep into their 30-year repertoire and present fan favorites as well as hidden gems. And with frontman Dave Doughman's love of humor, you can look forward to plenty of sharp-witted, self-deprecating between-song banter to keep the party going. Celebrate this special home game with us - at the perfect place for underdog anthems and rock & roll redemption. Dave Doughman is the heart and voice behind Swearing At Motorists. The band, mostly a duo with various drummers, since 2011 thats Martin Boeters, built a cult following with their raw energy, heartfelt songwriting, and relentless DIY ethos. Dubbed "The World's Local Band," they've traveled countless miles playing shows worldwide, sharing stages with iconic acts like Guided By Voices, Songs:Ohia, The Breeders, Spoon, Unwound, Brainiac, The Lemonheads, My Morning Jacket, and more. After a 10-year break, the band is back-playing shows in support of the long-awaited new album 31 Seasons In The Minor Leagues, to be released November 07. 2025 via BB*Island. Probably this is the first album to be written and recorded entirely in a Bundesliga soccer stadium, namely the Millerntor Stadium of football team FC St. Pauli in Hamburg. Don't worry, it doesn't sound like stadium rock at all. Quite the opposite in fact...Lo-fi without being brittle and minimal without feeling sparse. Critically acclaimed yet definitely under the radar, Swearing At Motorists remains a beloved staple of indie rock's underground-now roaring back to the stage with new stories to tell.
