12Volt concert @ Tristeza
12Volt -Funkrock, Nowave
28 June 2024 21:30–23:00
Yes how... 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 -Funkrock, Nowave
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.
