Live music in March

Oum Shatt are an exceptional phenomenon in the German music scene. The supergroup around Berlin all-round drummer Chris Imler sounds neither like Berlin nor like a specific place or time. Rock'n'roll sounds from different generations, influences from the Orient and Occident flow together to form a beguiling mixture. And even more so than before on their new album Opt Out, which they will be presenting in Helsinki.

"Welcome to the Darkobert Era" is what someone wrote under the latest Dagobert video. This fits perfectly with the songs about death and love that the singer has compiled on his new album "Schwarz". He will present them at Bogen F in an acoustic setting and, for once, in front of a seated audience.

The Idles have pulled off a little coup with their latest video. In it, you can see Chris Martin, the singer from Coldplay, running along a beach dripping with rain, just like in the video for the early Coldplay hit "Yellow" from 2000. But Idles don't have much in common with the pop supergroup: although their sound is always different, it is always dirty, loud and evil. Zurich will be the only stop in Switzerland on their tour this year.

Old-school hip-hop will be celebrated at the Alte Kaserne on this evening and the organisers of the Hip Hop Zoo have once again managed to lure a formidable line-up to Zurich. Retrogott and Hulk Hodn are the kings of German-language battle rap, while Black Milk is a representative of sophisticated US rap in the style of J Dilla and Madlib. And then there's MC Rene, an old acquaintance from the very early years of German hip-hop.
