Nils Keppel

With Nils Keppel, introspective indie meets a lot of pressure. Between shimmering guitars, a powerful sound and personal, honest, a little vulnerable, but always with a warm core, the musician from the Palatinate brings energy to the stage. No slick pop design, but music with plenty of reverberation.

His songs bear traces of post-punk, alternative and a certain anger that never seems aimless. It's about more than feel-good vibes: about friction, resonance and the feeling that music can be uncomfortable at times. It's handmade, up close and yet bigger than your own living room. His lines are introspective, sometimes unwieldy, never arbitrary - and that's exactly what makes them strong. This is someone who has something to say without getting lost in slogans. It's about interpersonal relationships, insecurities, pressure from outside and inside - but without pathos, instead with attitude.
Loudness meets sensitivity, dirt meets sensitivity. Because it's not just about the perfect moment, but also about those in between. About friction, resonance and what remains when the last note has faded away.
