CONTINUE WITH EASTIE RO!S
Continue to the next BTF check. Introducing the tip-top guys Eastie Ro!s!
How do you actually pronounce your name? Please use phonetic transcription. With a full mouth in the style of a cool Texan cowboy: Iestie Voiß!
Why is it better in Berlin than anywhere else, or is that not the case at all? Berlin is not better, but easier. Provided you get the hang of it and get to know the right people. It can also be very superficial. It's best to just take your best friend with you to survive in the big city. Winter is probably only worse in Zwickau. The endangered Berliners and their species are very pleasant. We still enjoy living here! The hype is really annoying, but you don't have to move to the hip part of town.
Berlin is also a punk rock city but the downside is that good people are now becoming a bit scarce in the small towns and villages.
Where do you like to hang out as a band outside of Berlin? we had a good time in Greifswald, there are nice people in Munich and the east (Saxony/Thuringia) is yes a piece of home anyway. The people at Club Shitte in Cologne were super nice too! Every chance to escape from the juggernaut is gratefully accepted, but like flies to the light, they also go back to the hyped city with certainty and for certain reasons.
Why punk rock and no other music?Jack likes to listen to old blues, Michi also likes to listen to power pop, I also like to go wild in the vegetable garden. But with punk rock, your hair just stands up on its own. A clear sign.

STARTS IM INTERVIEW!
Oh how fitting, we start this year's BTF check with the starts - Ost Punks from Torgau. Let's go:
Why are you taking an indefinitely long break at the end of the year? We decided to take a break because we're all very scattered at the moment and hardly get to rehearse or anything like that. In addition, almost all band members have other bands and projects going on. Paule – exclusion zone, Holger – crisis and so on. But don't worry, there are more than enough ideas for new songs.
Which one of you has the most beautiful bathing box for the forest pool and what does it look like? Bathing box for the forest pool? I have no idea, you definitely don't need one or you can just go into the cool water with your clothes.
Which of you will take part in the karaoke with which song? Karaoke is always very fun, we just leave it to others. It's always nice to see what unexpected talent emerges. Some other bands could take a lesson from that.
How do you explain BTF to someone who doesn't know? BTF is a festival where music only comes second. It's all about meeting people again, getting to know new people, the feeling festival anyway, exchanging ideas about music - the line up is still a gift on top - cool location, usually always stress-free, everyone helps each other . It's great that it continues to grow from year to year and is already an integral part of many people's annual planning.

LOIKAEMIE - UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE
“No reunion, no new record, just fun and our songs.”, these are the words of Thomas, Eddie, Paul and Bruno aka LOIKAEMIE. Also that they want to support one of the most likeable festivals with a unique show.
Uh, we immediately get a little red in the face and take our hats off twice. In front of the Oi! Punk Quartet and also a little bit in front of us - i.e. everyone involved who makes such a performance possible: fans, visitors, bands, helpers, security. Together we are a great group.
LOIKAEMIE and BTF 2019, what belongs together comes together - damn axe, we're fuzzy!

SOCIAL ENEMIES - AGAINST THE REAL ENEMY
SOCIAL ENEMIES drag us into the riding arena with their rattling anarchopunk. In their bag they have various statements as to why, why and why the prevailing conditions are simply a lousy, smelly piece of misery. You can't just be in a good mood all the time, here you can give free rein to your bad mood.

OMIXLH - ANGRY GREEKS
Even the ancient Greeks, such as the “Battle for Troy/Iliad” poet Homer, knew that anarchy was one of the most achievable forms of society. OMIXLH from Greece are following in similar footsteps. But they have significantly more anger in their stomachs than fed-up old philosophers. We're really looking forward to this wild hardcore punk rock dervish.

FAHNENFLUCHT - GERMAN PUNK YOU ASS!
After more than two decades of punk rock, you have experienced, heard and participated in a lot. FAHNENFLUCHT usually pack this into perfectly straightforward German punk hammers that get to the heart of the grievances. Even after this long time, the guys are on the run from a country flag. No problem, come around, we'll be happy to accommodate you.

DEEP SHINING HIGH!
Juti, let's get started right away with the guys from DEEP SHINING HIGH. You should know these guys around Glaubitz, after all they come from (almost) neighboring Dresden. Nice straight 90s street punk, which is really easy on the ear when the weather is great, as we ordered again.
