Darjeeling (GER)

Darjeeling are coming to Czech Republic for the first time!

Darjeeling (GER) are Jan, Markus and Till. Live they appear as a quartet, supported by their drummer Thorben. The band went through different metamorphic stages as the trio got to know each other at school quite early. In 2014 then, they founded Darjeeling in Wuppertal, Germany; dived into the record collections of their parents as well as into the decade’s neo-psychedelic music scene, used their rehearsal space for adolescent, musical experiments. The band developed a sound perpetuating between ‘Unpop‘ – ‚Indie-Hipness‘ – ‚Rock‘. It is changing its orbit, but still keeps the vibe of its microcosm ‘album’ justifiable.
In 2014 they self-released a first EP as Darjeeling, in 2015 a vinyl single on a small, local label. In 2017 Darjeeling released their first album Life is an Intriguing Mosaïque of Revealing Secrets (self-release). The follow-up Hokus Pokus came out in April 2019 via ListenRecords (Berlin). Hokus Pokus takes a trip to the ‘glocal’ fun fair and manages consistently to put its listeners in astonishment and fright as it goes on. It was critically acclaimed by renowned German music magazines (Visions, Eclipsed), radio stations (RadioEins, 1live, Bayern2, Deutschlandfunk) and blogs (NothingButHopeAndPassion, noisiv, etc.)
So far Darjeeling have played more than 150 gigs, including festivals like Eurosonic/Altersonic Norderslaag, Waves Vienna, Reeperbahnfestival, WayBackWhen, Open Source, c/o Pop, BRUIS, Zomerparkfest and also supported renowned acts such as Wolf People, Minor Victories and Isolation Berlin.
