@ half past 9pm wie play at Tristeza Pannierstr. 5
wtf?... a punk rock band ensures urban silence? In contrast to other bands, there is absolute silence when arriving because they transport all their equipment on bicycles. The auditorium in the street area and the surrounding area is much larger than that of our concerts (so far).
The 12-volt designers, who otherwise build very loud but sustainable (DIY bike trailer) guitar amplifiers (worth seeing!), have also designed the Acoustic Shell for Mauerpark, which reduces the sound behind the shell by an incredible 33 dB, which is very quiet comes close, almost a miracle.
Eco tape = quiet? No, we started out as a loud punk rock band, but due to the high German sound shift caused by climate change after Julius Pokorny, it became loud funk rock.
There is silence between pieces because we don't use generators. Conclusion: Silence wherever you look

Biography
12Volt
12Volt, a Berlin rock band, relies on bicycles to completely avoid the carbon footprint of their concerts. The unusual technology/installation is part of the art. For performances in Berlin, all instruments and amplifiers are nailed together as bicycle trailers in DIY, which means that the usual band bus is no longer necessary. This is certainly not about convenience; depending on the distance, it is also a sporty performance. But the overarching idea is not to remain in the usual dialectic: renunciation and sustainability vs. consumption and fun in life. Are all hedonists environmental pigs? We think: No, you just have to do it differently.
