The Winter Sounds + Marley Wildthing & Roundabouts

THE WINTER SOUNDS (indie rock, new wave, solarpunk)

Originally started in 2006 by frontman Patrick Keenan, The Winter Sounds (TWS) quickly gained a reputation as one of the ‘must see’ bands of the crowded music scene in Athens, Georgia. Known for their frenetic live performances, the band blends the danceable post-punk of pioneers like Gang of Four with more contemporary electro-pop to forge their own unique sound.

With a new international lineup featuring Andrew Jeckell (UK) on guitars and Denis Ugroza (RU/UA) on drums, and now currently based in Prague, Czech Republic, the band is pushing a new musical genre based on the literary movement of solarpunk, incorporating bedroom pop, retrowave, and fuzz-pop/hyper-pop elements. Solarpunk is the banner for a variety of movements towards a diverse, sustainable, post-capitalist future.

MARLEY WILDTHING (indie pop-folk)

Marley Wildthing is a Singer-Songwriter from Austria based in Vienna and Prague. Marley’s live performance is one of a kind - she sings, loops bass, ukulele, beats and vocals and creates a diverse sound full of layers as a one-woman-band. Apart from
her multi-instrumental talents and her distinctive voice, she radiates a joy and optimism on stage that is easily transmitted to any audience she plays for. Marley writes personal songs about the environment, (female) empowerment, depression, joy and love. Her DIY music videos full of art and astounding visuals often show critical views on our relationship with nature and also political issues. She mostly writes and produces her music by herself, designs outfits and also imagines and directs most of her videos.
