SVETLANAS IN THE BTF CHECK

Who is Henry Rollins? We're told Olga acts like Henry Rollins on stage. This means Henry Rollins is the male Olga. Logical, right?

How important are your texts to you? We express ourselves through punk music. Without a doubt, texts are very important to us. But the band's concept is the intense stage show. In this way we try to convey a clear message.

What is there to say about Russia? It is a very beautiful country.

Please finish the sentence: Playing in this band means......working hard and kicking ass every fucking day. This is just great.

SOCIAL ENEMIES IN BTF-CHECK

Here the festival opener SOCIAL ENEMIES with their check. So don't forget to be there on time on Thursdays.

Which machine do you not want to be part of? We do not want to belong to the greedy and externally determined masses who dutifully do what is prescribed for them. We are motivated to question the social conditions and to go our own way, as a social enemy.

Try to describe in a few words what it is like to be a social enemy. Being a social enemy means living in a self-determined manner and still questioning one's own actions, standing up for solidarity with one another and still finding the sore points of humanity and drilling into them through our texts in order to identify and name social problems.

What is important for you at a gig? We want people to have a cool time, treat each other with respect and enjoy the music. And when one or the other person is stimulated to think through our music and shakes the dance floor, then it was a terrific gig for us.

DSH IN BTF-CHECK

DEEP SHINING HIGH are putting the lid on the festival this year. Then read her check and stay awake until the last volume.

You are from Dresden, how often have you been a guest at the BTF? Of course, this varies internally. The maximum was probably seven times! And a visit to the festival goes to our singer with his old band “Drunken Bastards” in a Wolfgang Petry costume. Luckily I (Felix) wasn't there, haha!

What makes punk rock still distinctive in 2019 compared to other styles of music - not just purely musically? Okay, in a nutshell: Punk is still about taking matters into your own hands. The scene thrives on D.I.Y. - by the people for the people. That's why people aren't unattainable stars, but people like you and me. It's friendly, has character and has given the kids the impulse to "learn" instruments and form bands from the very beginning. It's not magic and everyone can become part of it and, above all, everyone can have a say in the discursive negotiation process of the self-image of "punk". That's another thing I love about punk rock. It's a great springboard because you're given all the freedom and you decide what you do with it and how you define "punk" for yourself. It starts with the style of music and ends with your own life plan. And don't forget to fuck off!

Who has the most beautiful bathing boxes for the forest pool? Now I'm wondering, isn't there nudism?

Beheader or ass bomb? Ass bomb! But naked so that the water goes up to the brain. Should help against dehydration every morning!

Finally, a quick joke. You would have to be an archaeologist. It doesn't bother anyone if you come to the office with a skull.

Totally crazy, completely unbelievable...

...simply unbelievable, we managed the totally impossible, the local heroes from Pott come over to us and play! When you can breathe again, here is your check:

When would it be time for some new songs again? There are always new songs coming out, just not from the local heroes...

Suddenly and unexpectedly you are there again. How do you put your joy into words? It cannot be put into words, you can only see it on site. So, buy all the tickets and watch the locals rejoice!

When breathing at rest, an average lung breathes half a liter. How many liters do you do exercises for before going on stage? 200ml.

How do you people from the Ruhr area describe the BTF? A bit like Teletubby - Land, only with beer and punk rock. So everyone is happily walking around, the sun is shining, and at the end everyone is screaming: "Ooohh... again, again"! You can't escape the charm of it all.

RUNNING ORDER

Dear pee break or whatever planners, it starts right now in three weeks. So here is the running order.

Take a look at them, try to set priorities and realize: Heidewitz, it won't be easy without peeking or pissing if you don't want to miss something sensational. Unfortunately we have to agree with you. Anyway, the part is also available »HERE as a download and don't forget to share.

We want the airwaves - Part 1

On June 24th At 9 p.m. the Back To Future Special 2019 will be broadcast on Radio T. Live, without a network or a false bottom. That could be something. If you are in Chemnitz or the surrounding area on 102.7 MHz FM or worldwide as a live stream at » www.radiot.de.

The program is even repeated. And on July 14th. at 5 p.m. Very clever people left a like on Facebook and got the chance to download an MP3 of the show.

TCHIK in BTF-CHECK

For the first time, the dead Crackhur are not with us. Not singer Lulu anyway, she has BTF experience. We are pleased to be able to present the band to you with this fantastic new album. But first to their short interview.

You know the festival, are you looking forward to the Boyz? To be honest, I can't remember the Boyz from the last few years . We always played last and by then it was already dark. Of course I have hope for lots of cute boyz.

Will you please us with your presence for several days, or can we just lick our fingers one day after you?  Oh, I think a few of us will definitely arrive earlier and take whatever happens with us. Unfortunately, I still have something to do the evening before.

How much beer will you have to walk around and stress out?  We tend to do that when we don't get beer quickly enough. So be careful!

Unfortunately you have no influence on the guest list, but who should be Minus 1 on it?  I have such problems with the Saxon police. And in general everyone who supports the AFD, NPD, Third Way or other carnival associations.

Are you telling us a politically incorrect joke?  So of course we don't have anything like that, or I'm really crap at telling jokes. I'll save it for the stage.

Nasville Pussy in BTF-CHECK

We're as excited as hell about this bastard brat. But we're not any less happy about it. Nashville Pussy make their debut with us, which we can look forward to based on singer Blaine's answers. Read it yourself.

Blaine, the festival is mostly punks 'n' skins. Is there anything you would like to tell them in advance? Well, I'm something of an original hillbilly punk and I'm bald too. So I should fit in quite well into both groups. I'll be the punk with the cowboy hat.

Have you ever heard of our festival? Uh, to be honest, I just found out that we were playing there and went straight to see it, hahaha. We're currently concentrating on our upcoming US tour with Guitar Wolf and Turbo Ac's. Still, I'm really happy to know that we're playing at a punk festival. We definitely don't play enough of them. I love metal festivals, but I feel more like a punk. Hey, what a great night it will be? UK Subs, Poison Idea, Subhumans, that's totally crazy!

What do you like about open airs? It's like a circus event that comes to a city and it's a lot of fun. The visitors are partying like crazy and there is organized chaos behind the stage. I always thought we were made for such a big stage and we keep trying to prove it. In fact, that's how we spent the last 21 years and had the best moments of our lives there. I want to play festivals, even if I'm pushed to the microphone in a wheelchair.

What are your three favorite drinks, other than beer! Aaargh, I love German beer. But well, when I don't drink beer, I like the following on hot days:

1. Margaritas – Cinco de Mayo was currently being celebrated in my neighborhood and I wanted to join in. A pitcher of ice-cold margaritas makes me crazy, but it makes me happy.
2. Mojitos – Our old bassist works at the bar and would always ask for all the ingredients on tour. She also mixed fresh herbs and other stuff into it. If you know how to do it, it's incredibly tasty.
3. Vodka – Anything with vodka. That makes me funny. Well, at least that's what I think. Unfortunately, I'm very impatient and pour everything into vodka. Diet Coke, for example, is horrible, but if it doesn't go fast enough...

QUIZ

Of course, the quiz is happening again this year. After all, a lot of people had a lot of fun last year, right? However, it's not as long and difficult this year, don't worry. So if you want to secure your ticket for 2020 this year, you should look out for the quiz copies at the tent counter from Thursday evening.
