Pink Turns Blue // Bleib Modern at The Lanes

A gig held at The Lanes on Tuesday 19th March. The event starts at 19:30.


Damnatio Memoriae is delighted to welcome the legendary coldwave band Pink Turns Blue for another special show at The Lanes!

Pink Turns Blue

Pink Turns Blue are an influential post punk / new wave band from Berlin, Germany.

Formed in 1985, they quickly put out their first LP, If Two Worlds Kiss (1987) expressing a sound reminiscent of new wave with very dark undertones and use of synthesizers, only to become one of the pioneers of the developing subgenre of first darkwave (Meta 1988) then cold wave (Eremite 1990, Aerdt 1991).

Bleib Modern

There is no repose from the cathartic sounds from Bleib Modern – sounds that dredge up the darkest recesses of the heart with their ceaseless explorations around the personal and emotive responses to life.

Throbbing bass lines lead the onslaught of hypnotic reverb, penetrating riffs, mechanical drumming and visceral vocals that expose the very bones of emotion or lack thereof. Founded by Philipp Läufer in 2014 as a solo project, it wasn’t until after 2015 when Vinz, Peter, Leo and Tommy joined.
