When the winter will start to blur at the edges and spring is escaping from the frozen ground, Berlin hosts a small but nice festival, that became established as a constant and a must-go for enthusiasts of guitar-based Wave, Post Punk and Goth Rock over the years. Brought to life by the hometown guys of GOLDEN APES, the coming March, 21st will face the sixth edition of the DARK SPRING FESTVAL so far and like in recent years the billing results from the band's personal musical preferences and tastes, far beyond any trends, mainstream frames or aspects of profit.
Housed again by the BiNuu club (under it's former name Kato one of Berlin's most history-charged scene venues), following bands and artists will celebrate an altered form of the springtime's arrival: the German Occvlt-Goth Icons of MERCIFUL NUNS, the energized Swedish Shoegaze/Post punk outfit PRINCIPE VALIENTE, the Goth & Darkwave veterans THE LAST CRY from England, Italy's most promising Gothrock export THE STOMPCRASH and last but not least the GOLDEN APES, which as hosts wont miss the chance of completing the line-up.
The accompanying aftershow party will see the DJs Thomas Thyssen and Martin Oldgoth behind the turntable, what promises a splendid sonic mixture to shake your bones to until the dawn creeps in.
