Thirty years after Einstürzende Neubauten artistically strategised against architectural takeover in Berlin, the up-and-coming Plattenbau are throwing in their two cents on 21st-century living conditions in the German capital. Comprising Welshman Lewis Lloyd, Swede Hans Tobias and American Brandon Walsh, the trio has been around for the past year and a half, playing all the usual Berlin venue suspects and touring the US in March (with a stopover at SXSW) to celebrate the Bandcamp release of their self-titled debut album. Back home, they'll be sharing our Exberliner stage at Kaffee Burger with fellow expats Piss, Bannerman and the Neukölln Country Club. Catch them at 8pm.
