SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Keele - Release Show + Joe Astray
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Line Up: Post Punk - Indie=0D=0A=0D=0ABetween youthful euphoria and the harsh reality, there's probably an=0D=0Aelephant in almost every rehearsal room at some point, from which this=0D=0Aone brutally honest question bursts forth: "Why are we actually doing=0D=0Athis?" For the big break (haha)? For the money (hahaha)? For the=0D=0Aapplause – in a time when the stages of our favorite clubs are=0D=0Agradually falling silent? On the way to album number three, Keele have=0D=0Afound the answer – and with it, the name of their new record:=0D=0A"Meinetwegen" (For My Sake).=0D=0A=0D=0AThe title represents the driving force that carried the band through=0D=0Atheir most challenging chapter to date, leading them to their next=0D=0Agoal. The lineup change brought about by pandemic frustration demanded=0D=0Amusical shifts, a new process of self-discovery, and above all, time.=0D=0ASeven years after their last release, Keele are back with ten new=0D=0Asongs. In the meantime, two guitars have become one, and one voice has=0D=0Abecome three. At first, it sounds familiar—and then surprisingly=0D=0Anew. “Meinetwegen” stays true to the band's roots, but embraces a=0D=0Amore edgy sound and consciously ventures outside their comfort zone.=0D=0A=0D=0AIn terms of content, Keele focuses inwards and packages personal=0D=0Athemes in metaphorical texts – from the search for the right=0D=0Adecision, to the constant desire for more, even though there is=0D=0Aalready enough, and to the question of why change frightens some=0D=0Apeople more than stagnation.=0D=0A=0D=0AAbout Keele:=0D=0AKeele is a German-language post-punk/alternative band from Hamburg.=0D=0AWith their debut album "Gut und dir" (2017, Rookie Records), the band=0D=0Alaid the foundation for numerous concerts and tours throughout=0D=0AGermany.=0D=0AIn 2019, their second album, "Kalte Wände," was released on Rookie=0D=0ARecords. Shortly afterward, the onset of the pandemic caused an=0D=0Aunexpected disruption. This led to a lineup change and a new musical=0D=0Aexploration and songwriting process, resulting in a longer hiatus.=0D=0AWith "Meinetwegen," Keele are now opening the next chapter. The third=0D=0Aalbum will be released on October 30, 2026, by Rookie Records and=0D=0Amarks the restart of a band that remains true to its roots while=0D=0Aaudibly evolving.=0D=0AKeele are Fabian Held (vocals), Patrick Sternberg (guitar/vocals),=0D=0ALeon Te Paa (bass/vocals) and Malte Buchner (drums).=0D=0A=0D=0A+=0D=0A=0D=0AOff-kilter. Peculiar. Deviant. These are common states in a world that=0D=0Ais constantly evolving and where progress is advancing at breakneck=0D=0Aspeed. Consistency has become an unknown variable, resulting in=0D=0Acountless people being left behind. Joe Astray is an artist who=0D=0Asuccessfully embraces this multifaceted dilemma and reflects it=0D=0Athrough sincere and authentic indie music. The singer-songwriter is=0D=0AA musical nomad whose music is a true kaleidoscope, brazenly traveling=0D=0Athrough the annals of music history and incorporating dozens of its=0D=0Aelements. Heavy, socially critical lyrics blend with volatile,=0D=0Aunpredictable compositions to create a damn exciting mix that bears an=0D=0Aunmistakable signature.=0D=0AJoe Astray processes everyday situations and the thoughts behind them,=0D=0Aand in particular the music industry and its absurd seriousness are=0D=0Adissected with biting yet charming humor. Especially interesting is=0D=0AJoe Astray's enigmatic vocal accent, which can never be precisely=0D=0Aattributed to a specific geography.=0D=0AInfluences range from The Eels, Bright Eyes, and Leonard Cohen to the=0D=0Asardonic, socially critical humor of Billy Bragg, but a clear punk=0D=0Arock DNA is undeniably present in Joe Astray's work. The name says it=0D=0Aall, because Joe Astray is everyone and no one at the same time,=0D=0Awriting songs for the landless and dispossessed, a walking mystery=0D=0Athat defies categorization and who, despite all the darkness, still=0D=0Aholds a candle of hope aloft.=0D=0A
