Indiepop meets Cuddle Punk: An intense concert evening at the Old Public Bath Mannheim
On Friday, October 23, 2026, two distinct voices from the German-speaking independent scene come together at the Old Public Bath Mannheim: FRAU LEHMANN from Leipzig and DAS AUS DER JUGEND from Freiburg. The concert evening combines lyrical indiepop, edgy stage performance, and punk with an attitude. Doors open at 8:30 PM, the concert begins at 9:00 PM.
FRAU LEHMANN: Between urban poetry and musical defiance
At FRAU LEHMANN, the lyrics and the performance by Fiona Lehmann are at the center. The Leipzig quartet takes its audience from the theater performance out onto the city's pavements and into bittersweet scenes between longing, loneliness, and everyday observations. The songs blend narrative precision with indiepop, rock, and a stage performance that focuses less on a smooth surface and more on atmosphere and character.
After the FOUR SEASONS EP from 2022 and the split EP WASHED with DIRTY DISHES from 2024, the debut album COMFORT & DEFY was released in January 2026 by La Pochette Surprise Records. The current tour brings this music into a direct live context: relatable, poetic, and with that tension that arises when a concert simultaneously becomes a reading, a rock moment, and an emotional chamber play.
DAS AUS DER JUGEND: Punk with anger, warmth, and hugs
DAS AUS DER JUGEND describes itself as a cuddle punk formation and combines social friction with a surprisingly warm tone. The Freiburg trio creates a sound from anger in the belly, frustrations from the working world, and the joy of street battles that oscillates between post-punk, NDW, and fun-punk. The bass adds pressure to the evening, while guitars, drums, and vocals generate a direct, unvarnished live energy.
The debut album forever never be like you was released in 2025 by Flight 13 Records. On stage, this attitude meets spontaneous audience mood and a performance that sounds more like a sweaty club than polished routine. The result: punk rock with edges, attitude, and an open ear for the shared moment.
Live atmosphere at the Old Public Bath
The Old Public Bath in Mannheim's Neckarstadt provides the perfect setting for this double evening. Between historical rooms, immediate acoustics, and close stage action, a concert atmosphere emerges where every nuance counts: the strumming of strings, the pressure of the drums, the transition between focused listening and exuberant movement.
The evening's dramaturgy thrives on contrast. FRAU LEHMANN opens with lyrical indiepop and precise delivery, creating spaces for melancholy and contemplation. DAS AUS DER JUGEND then relies on punk rock, directness, and a physical stage energy. Together, they create a concert program that intertwines two different varieties of independent music from Leipzig and Freiburg.
Entry as a support contribution
There is no advance sale for the event. Entry is only available at the box office. A support contribution of 20 euros is recommended; however, the principle of Give what you can applies. With the contribution, the audience supports the further work and projects of the organizing collective brandherd.
Conclusion: Two bands, one evening full of attitude
FRAU LEHMANN and DAS AUS DER JUGEND bring two different yet related perspectives to the stage of the Old Public Bath on October 23, 2026: poetic indiepop and angry cuddle punk. Those who love German-speaking independent music, intense lyrics, and immediate club concerts will experience an evening full of contemplation, friction, and shared energy.
