About event
DOORS: 6:30 PM / START 7:00 PM Presented by CANARIAS CALLING, a non-profit cultural association with the support of Oxfanzine, Sancocho.com and Teguise Music Show Case.
We exist, 'cause we resist! We, the founders of CANARIAS CALLING, decided years ago to make culture possible - especially free cinema in the outskirts of Europe, the Canary Islands. And since we are also pretty punk in the best sense of the word, here comes a heart project and a cry for help: We exist, 'cause we resist: CANARIAS CALLING FESTIVAL 2025 III Edition. According to the motto “everyone off to Kreuzberg” and “Let’s get united” we simply take large parts of our scene with us to play together with legendary bands from Hamburg, Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. And where, if not in SO36, what stands for a rebellious, independent spirit?!
What can you expect?
Concerts by:
Diggen & Rastaknast (Hamburg)
What worked properly for 3 songs at the Mind the Gap Festival, the Jolly Roger birthday in Knust and at the ApenAir Festival will now be performed as part of the "Canarias Calling 2025" at the beginning of October in Germany and at the beginning of December in the Canary Islands really bang: from "Cat bites the wire" to "All against all", from "One more or less" to "Germany must die" to "East Berlin" to "Let's get United!" Look forward to a best of “Diggen&Rastaknast” as part of a mega-hot event.
Blechreiz (Berlin)
LET THERE BE SKA! As one of the most important representatives of the European ska scene, the 8 to 10-member formation from Berlin has long held an outstanding position as an energetic live band with their special sound and furious show. Since a handful of enthusiasts in West Berlin decided to pick up instruments themselves in the summer of 1983, BLECHREIZ have been on the road across Europe. In the early days, BELCHREIZ's sound in the mid-1980s was heavily influenced by British two-tone, punk and wave bands, but the band immediately relied on self-composed, written and arranged songs with which they also celebrated their success. Cover versions of well-known ska titles were sprinkled into the program or are heavily edited variants of, for example, Jamaican ska classics. BLECHREIZ are best known for their own songs and their furious stage show. For the global ska community, you contributed your saxophone-droning “Bumble Bee,” the ironic ska tearjerker “16 Pets,” and your version of the worker song “Which Side Are You On?” as today's classics of the scene.
The Vageenas (NRW)
THE VAGEENAS77% Punk, rest bullshit;The Vageenas play cool, no-frills I want you to be punk-punk that you couldn't wish for more wonderful and no-frills! They were founded in 1994, with a few line-up changes on guitar and bass as well as drums have existed since then, but there has never been a change in the energy and joy of playing that characterizes this band! It makes no more sense to try to describe THE VAGEENAS in words than it would make sense to resurrect Sid Vicious. Conclusion: Go to a show and have fun!
Distortion (Lanzarote)
A skate punk band from Lanzarote that breaks through like an explosion of decibels, a wave of cement and beer
Like a whip, they accelerate the pulse of the stage and save your heart from lethargy by releasing splinters from the rhythm of the Kicks bass drums and guitars from point blank range. Without asking permission, they tear the bodies out of the ground and send everyone into the orbit of punk in a single collective sweat.
They won the Canary Islands Youth Prize in 2022 and have already set up their own tour “Dumb Tour 2023” and conquered all the stages in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain.
Sonido Kacharro (Fuerteventura)
And why Sonido Kacharro?
First of all, for fun. All members love music and see music as the best way to spread their political thoughts against an unjust system.
For this reason they openly declare themselves anarchists and are against any authoritarian subjugation.
The band's goals are to spread their political ideas and share the stages of the islands and the world with like-minded people.
They consistently reject any kind of racist, LGBTQ-phobic, sexist or other social excrement.
Films:
Diggen! A life between football, anarchy and punk (45 min)
Las Mayorettes (short film) (15 min)
