Lemongrab

If you might have not have already noticed by this point, there is strong correlation between killing it at 8MM and getting an invitation to Synästhesie. Bands from Berlin make up half of this years incredible lineup, and we view it as our privilege to place the best up-and-on-their-way bands with the best-of-the-best. There is no better example than Lemongrab.  Originally hailing from Montreal, core duo Léonie Dishaw and Gaëlle Cordeau relocated to Berlin in 2019, and with the move came a fresh start for Lemongrab. Locking in the drummer of Leipzig synth-punks Lassie, Teun Verheij, along with Mikey Sykes on bass, the band has made a quick yet lasting impression in the Berlin and German punk scenes, now renowned for their raw and cathartic live shows. Fans of Devo, The Raincoats, Wire, and The Gun Club will love this, and they will be closing down the festival Saturday night on the local stage.
