IMPROV HANGOUT SESSION
5 DECEMBER - 19:00
KULTURHAUS INSEL - ALT-TREPTOW 6, 12435 BERLINx
Two concerts, two bands, and a rare chance to jam together with them.
Join us in a new location in the beautiful Treptower Park as we step into the holiday season and take the stage alongside musicians ready to play with you until the late winter hours.
Eibhlín is a grunge inspired folk band based in Berlin. Eibhlín’s dark, haunting sound encapsulates an almost religious-like experience. Discussing Ireland’s past and present, Eibhlín fuses the traditional and the contemporary through Irish lyricism, heavy drones, traditional techniques and a distorted sound that imparts aspects of nostalgia into each piece.
Matching Drapes is a Berlin six-piece slashing through post-punk and alternative rock with wit, grit, and eerie precision. Their sound veers from angry and snarling to dreamy and disarming—drawing inspiration to Wet Leg, NewDad and Amyl and The Sniffers. Formed in 2023 by frontwomen Arndís Rán and Jacquie Hirt, they were joined by Liam Harrison (guitar), Przemek Sztandera (guitar), Niclas Liebling (bass), and Adrian Lizarraga (drums), they’ve gained a reputation for sharp-edged and emotionally wired performances as well as lyrics that tackle gender politics with dark humor and a daring energy. After their debut EP manslaughter in 2024 and a first showcase slot at Tallinn Music Week 2025 as well as playing Reykjavík’s Harpa, the band is hungry for more. Matching Drapes is ready to be heard, you better get ready to listen.
