In the organizer's words:
Caught between existential fear and substance-impregnated optimism? SILVERTONGUES provide the soundtrack. With their debut EP, the Hamburg duo SILVERTONGUES hurl an ironic "neither/nor" at the inescapable compulsion to make either/or decisions. With their mix of poppy melodies, dystopian guitars and a lived equality between female and male vocals, Rike Rakete and Manuel de Rien create their own identity between wavy rock, sleazy pop and psychedelic garage, which sometimes evokes associations with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, BLOOD RED SHOES or THE KILLS. The five songs on the EP "neither/nor" testify to a feeling of loneliness in crowds, the hypocritical expectations of others and the all too human desire to scratch at one's own mental and physical limits. The crisis remains, but it doesn't have to define you entirely. For in the sweetness of fear, the realization of infinite possibilities can no longer hide. And who said you can't feel good about it? It's not the fear of falling off a cliff. It's the fear of falling off yourself. SILVERTONGUES are here to catch you -- Cowardly bimbos, how cowardly they are! They don't dare to say which genre they want to be put into, nor do they dare to reveal who or what they are singing about! The songs about forbidden love, chases in the park or the nice neighbor Holger - who turned up one day with glasses and changed the lives of Messer and Lili Flittchen considerably - naturally arouse curiosity. So one of the big questions we certainly ask ourselves is: Who actually pissed in the cup? Questions upon questions, bimbo upon bimbo. What remains for you to know: How can you be especially close to the bimbos?
When we fax the cowardly bimbos with this urgent question, their answer is short and sweet: Herberg or no Herberg, come to our concert!
