30 Years of Spellbound Festival

Mit Covenant (SWE) / Blackbook (CH)/ Schonwald (IT)

30 Years of Spellbound Festival
Was in der legendären Färbi in Olten und ab 1994 im Flössi in Aarau begann, feiert im 2024 als Spellbound sein 30! jähriges Jubiläum.
3 Bands und 3 DJs werden für eine unvergessliche Wave-Gothic-Electro Party im KiFF sorgen.

COVENANT (SWE) Electro

It’s a name that implies extraordinary commitment, a certain grandiosity, and a bond stronger than blood. As a name, Covenant—with its biblical overtones—was perhaps a bit ambitious for an upstart band of teenagers from southern Sweden armed with rudimentary electronics, but it ended up being extraordinarily fitting. Whether or not life subsequently imitated art or art subsequently imitated life is debatable, either way the band’s moniker ended up perfectly summing up the vision, grandeur, and brotherhood that is the band itself.---

BLACKBOOK (CH) synthpop

Das Schweiz-Holländische Duo BLACKBOOK erschafft rhythmische Klangwelten voller Gefühle und Intensität, indem sie das Herz des 80er New Wave mit einer modernen Synthpop-Seele verbinden, eine Fusion, die so fesselnd ist, dass man sie auf Dauerschleife hören kann!
BLACKBOOK wurde von zwei erfolgreichen Künstlern gegründet, von denen ein Teil des Duos für viele Radiohits sowie für den Titelsong einer erfolgreichen Netflix-Serie verantwortlich ist und der andere als Musiker mit verschiedenen Projekten beschäftigt ist, die in Europa die Spitze der Charts erobert haben. Ihre Einflüsse reichen von Indie-Pop, Jungle, Darkwave, Electropop und EDM bis hin zu der weltweit gefeierten Band DEPECHE MODE, was ihrer Musik eine Note verleiht, die Lust auf mehr macht!


SCHONWALD (ITA) coldwave

Schonwald is a duo from Ravenna, Italy.
Members are Alessandra Gismondi & Luca Bandini.
Schonwald is all about atmospheres: hypnotic minimalist mood and a noise inclination with echoes of Suicide, New Order, The Cure, mingling with synth melodies straight from the ’80. Don’t let the Germanic name fool you this two-piece unit has been surreptitiously dwelling in the shadowy corners of the European underworld for a few years now.
European post punk at it’s finest, Alessandra and Luca of Schonwald create a pulsing, black-lit atmospheric electronic vibration so cold, hypnotic, and simple, it’s perfect for our endlessly frozen world.
