"We We really developed in Hamburg.

To get the Germans moving, we really had to hammer through. We would never have developed like this if we had stayed at home. We had to try everything that came to mind in Hamburg. We played what we liked best and the Germans liked it

as long as it was loud.”

John Lennon

Following Lennon's maxim, the COME TOGETHER EXPERIENCE also depicts every imaginable form of musical performance. And (at least selectively) it gets loud with Garlands,

A dream pop and shoegaze duo based out of Berlin and Hamburg that enchants with two voices, fine guitar play and elegant synths.

Taking their name as a reference to the first album from the Cocteau Twins. they are reminiscent of the ethereal atmospheres of the 90s between noble pop and new wave with  all the necessary noise that adds influences from My Bloody Valentine making the two multi-instrumentalists create far-reaching landscapes between delicate pop harmonies, tasteful loops and raw distortion effects, while echoes of ambient, kraut and psychedelic rock waft across. Lyrically, the musicians embark on a journey into the vast cosmos. Garlands stand for the deconstruction of constraining concepts and are not willing to let pop narratives be dictated solely by twenty-somethings or old men. They sing about ups and downs, transition zones, peaks and chasms from the point of view of the female midlife. For the "Come Together Experience", the two musicians Catarina Rüss (guitar, synths, vocals) and Sui Kemmer (bass, flute, vocals), accompanied live by two other musicians, cut and grind their way through the Beatles universe. Between "Helter Skelter" and "I Want to Tell You", "Dear Prudence" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" they weave their special shoegaze style into a flowing trip. A journey through soundscapes between noise and gentle melancholy.

No one could be more suitable for a new band based around the song of The Beatles than the drummer of "The Swiss Beatles", The Les Sauterellas. What happens when Düde Dürst, also co-founder of legendary Krautrock band “Krokodil”  teams up with the guitarist who on who only started making music because of the Beatles records in his parents' collection?  And What happens when they add ace bass player Thomy Jordi to the line up? A new project is born. Flaming Pie, loosely based on an article by John Lennon in the music magazine Mersey Beat (as well as on Paul McCartney's 1997 solo record). Lennon/McCartney songs shaped the sound of Flaming Pie, but without them being purely a beatles cover band. The trio have their own take on and groove to add into the equation. Adi, Düde and Thomy have known each other for almost 20 years. They have developed a unique telepathy between themselves in various formations and all kinds of jam situations. Flaming Pie are playing Beatles songs - but in their own way: reduced to the legendary power trio format. And without any claim to one-to-one implementation. rougher, freer, wilder. The result becoming one Lennon himself would enjoy, at least that was the opinion after their show at Beatleweek in Liverpool which was highlighted as one of the top 6 performances.
