About the artists:
One of Sweden's most iconic EBM acts is taking over Gothenburg! After a successful performance at the Subkult Festival this summer where the floor on the dance floor shook from the crowd, Sturm Café is offering an evening filled with boot dancing and classic songs such as Koka Kola Freiheit and Stiefelfabrik. With them that same evening we have none other than Tukt and German Plastikstrom who are doing their first gig in Sweden!
STURM CAFÉ – Sturm Café was formed in Gävle in 2001 when childhood friends Jonatan Löfstedt and Gustav Jansson started making music together. With the help of Atari computers, analog synths and Akaisamplers, they have created a unique sound that is inspired primarily by EBM but almost as much by Neue Deutsche Welle, synthpop and Italo disco. The music can probably be best described as heavy and bass-driven on the one hand, but catchy with retro-scented synth melodies on the other. Central to the music are also the German lyrics, which are always performed by Jonatan's distinctive singing voice.
TUKT – Tukt is an anxiety-driven hate machine from Stockholm/Örebro. Tukt’s music is a chaotic mix of frustration, disappointment and anger. A mental train wreck in conflict with society, people, relationships and ourselves – discolored by sound. The world has gone to hell. Tukt is what you deserve.
THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE – The Devil & The Universe now looks back on nine years of band history. In 2013, Ashley Dayour and David Pfister founded the band, which Ezechiel completed into a trio. In the beginning, the band focused on musical experiments with magical systems. It is still firmly inscribed in the band’s DNA. With their mix of soundtrack-like sounds and driving beats, their goat masks and unmistakable humor, which is especially evident in their visual presentation, they drummed up a loyal fan base. The latest album “GOATopia” was released in January 2022 and the result is electronic with thundering drums. It's krautrock and spoken words that captivate you and your imagination. After a successful gig in Stockholm last fall and frequent playing around Europe in 2025, we finally have the opportunity and the luck to have them here on the best coast, don't miss out!
PLASTIKSTROM – Plastikstrom from Reutlingen entered the musical scene at the beginning of the new millennium with a self-distributed mini-album and various sampler contributions. The debut album 'Beton Gegen Angst' was released by Young & Cold Records in 2019, followed by the sequel 'Eskalation' in 2023. Their origins in dark electro are clearly heard, but are constantly combined with new influences that make this band so special. The German-language lyrics do the rest to make the new album 'Eskalation' stand out from the crowd. Plastikstrom does their own thing with darkwave, EBM, electropunk, spiced up with experimental sounds and rhythms: dark electro for the dance floor and always with a tangible punk spirit!
