Christ vs. Warhol + Frank The Baptist // Cassiopeia, Berlin

Get ready for an unforgettable night as aufnahme + wiedergabe presents Christ vs. Warhol — the only show in Germany! 🎤 Bringing their unique blend of Post-Punk, Goth Rock, and Political Punk, this Los Angeles-based band promises a raw and dynamic performance. Formed in 2008 out of personal unrest and political disillusionment, Christ vs. Warhol emerged from the DIY underground, forging their identity through a collision of post-punk edge, gothic atmosphere, and radical politics. Their sound is a dark, driving force—part protest, part elegy—giving voice to the anger and grief of a world in perpetual crisis. Taking their name as a critique of cultural commodification and the tension between the sacred and the synthetic, they confront themes of alienation, resistance, and historical trauma. Their debut album, "Dissent", marked a bold entrance: a raw, urgent soundtrack for political awakening. This was followed by "We, the Victims of History", a brooding and expansive record that delves deeper into memory, identity, and the cost of silence. Over more than a decade they have remained fiercely independent and unapologetically confrontational. Check them out at Christ vs. Warhol on Bandcamp!

Opening the night will be Frank The Baptist, a genre-crossing rock/post-punk band that emerged from the southern California dark alternative scene in the late-nineties. Founder Frank Vollmann, originally hailing from New Jersey, brought a vitality and immediacy to his music, indicative of the energetic punk and early alternative that molded his youth. Their 2003 debut full-length album, "Different Degrees of Empty", cemented their notion that the dark music world should be a place of kicker boots, cranked amps, and skewed top hats as much as a refuge for poet shirts and ethereal echoes. By 2006 the group was based in Berlin, Germany and international concerts had become commonplace. In 2024, the 20th anniversary remastered version of "Different Degrees of Empty" (with bonus tracks) was released as double-LP on vinyl via aufnahme + wiedergabe with new artwork by Disturbanity Graphics! Frank the Baptist stands as a band the counterculture can count on—they don't belong to a fad, didn't ride a single wave of fashion, and don't mind which way the future turns. Theirs is an easy confidence that comes from making something timeless: a beat, a vocal, rising above the maelstrom. Discover more at Frank The Baptist on Bandcamp!
