Hey everyone, Betonwelt is going on a small tour at the end of September and looking for opportunities to play some shows on 22.09 or 23.09 somewhere in Switzerland or nearby (between Mannheim and Marseille), and on 26.09 or 27.09 in Dijon, Lyon, Metz, Nancy, Paris, Luxembourg, or nearby (between Marseille and Bonn). Can someone help us out? Maybe there are some planned shows on these dates that we could join?

some information about us:
Meet Betonwelt, the blazing new anarcho-punk/post-punk band out of Hamburg, with many influences from the 80s as well as modern anarcho-punk and post-punk bands (like Poison Ruin, Chain Cult, Syndrome 81, Kaleidoscope, Straw Man Army, Crass, Conflict, Rudimentary Peni etc.), at times diving into raw, fast hardcore punk. 'Betonwelt' means 'concrete world' in German. It's an international trio consisting of Iggy (vocals, guitar), Phil (vocals, bass), and Sabrina (vocals, drums). Their lyrics are in english, german, and russian. By members/ex-members of other small acts from Hamburg like Miley Silence, Kleymo, 1323, and Quit.

Hamburg band BETONWELT answers the question, “what would a perfect balance of anarcho-punk, post-punk, and hardcore sound like?” The answer: it sounds awesome! Wildly distorted guitars, lyrics shouted in multiple languages, and a rhythm section that pounds out the beat make this self-titled well...

I was not late to the party for this one, as I was lucky enough to see NÃO play last summer in Hamburg and gladly enjoyed their short set of energetic hardcore punk. They were the opening band, always a tricky spot since most of the audience is generally busy downing cheap cans of lager […]

New physical release on Brainwasher Records is available, yeah!💥 I'm sorry, for being late posting this, cause, you know, I had these luxury problems like vacation 🙃
