SHIMMER are a screamo queerfeminist post-hardcore band based in Berlin, active since 2022. With ex-members of Eat My fear. The members of the band have been active in the local Berlin music scene for over two decades already, and bring a lot of experience in D.I.Y.Underground concerts. This will be one of their last performances as a duo.

KITTYGANG: ALazyCat feat. ChicxDrama:
LazyCat meets ChicxDrama for a set that will melt your heart and put it back together in a few songs. These two transgender kitties now based in Berlin crossed paths in 2023, all the way from Roma and Bogotá, and started to spread their music together around as solo artists. After wishing it for so long, this will be their debut as a duo. They sing about pain and healing, anti specism, anti imperialism, anti racism, about daily struggles as migrants, as genderqueer people, with bodies and minds disabled by the cistem. The bass as the roots of a tree, acoustic and electrics guitars as the birds nesting on them, the voices as wings, if you want to picture their sound.

FLINTA IM KIEZ is a monthly concert series organized by MY PEOPLE BOOKING in Berlin, aimed at providing a platform for underrepresented musicians in the city’s alternative rock and punk scenes. The series specifically focuses on FLINTA (women*, lesbians, inter people, non-binary people, trans people, and agender people) artists who often face challenges in spaces dominated by cisgender male musicians. By offering a stage to these artists, the project works to disrupt the dominance of privileged voices in the alternative music scene and ensure that diverse perspectives are given visibility.
The concert series will take place across Berlin, ensuring that it reaches different communities and supports the city's rich underground music culture. The initiative also responds to the struggles faced by small venues, which have been hit by rising costs and economic downturns. By highlighting local talent and providing a space for FLINTA* musicians, the concert series creates an important cultural environment that nurtures new artists and fosters community support.
Additionally, FLINTA IM KIEZ will implement sliding scale pricing for tickets, making these events more accessible to a wider range of people, particularly those from marginalized communities such as FLINTA, BIPoC, and individuals with migration experiences. This approach ensures that everyone, regardless of income, has the opportunity to experience and enjoy underground music. With a focus on diversity and inclusion, the series strives to build a more equitable cultural landscape for both artists and audiences.
The concert series is made possible in part by the support of MusicBoard Berlin, as part of the POP IM KIEZ funding programme, without which this project would not be possible.
