Post-Punk

Blaine L. Reininger — co-founder of the post-punk cult band Tuxedomoon — is hitting the road again in 2026, playing songs from his two latest albums: Ghost Festival (2024) and g Nine Times (out June 2025). Both are collections of new material, 14 songs each, written and recorded with that unmistakable mix of melancholy, electronics, and grit.
This time around, Blaine’s trading the keyboards for the guitar on most songs — revisiting classics from his solo albums (especially Night Air from 1985), dipping into the deep well of his work for theatre, film, and dance, and yes, playing a few Tuxedomoon favorites too (No Tears fans, you’re covered). His violin is still front and center where it belongs, and his voice — as direct and emotionally charged as ever — carries the weight of decades without losing any of its edge.
Joining him is longtime friend and collaborator Georgio Valentino on guitar, known for his solo work and for playing with Crime and the City Solution. Together, they’re bringing an intimate, stripped-back energy to these shows — part memory, part experiment, and very much alive.
Come out. Say hi. Let the ghosts dance.

After the untimely End of the Post-Punk Band ROSI, Mirco Rappsilber in a burst of creativity started the new duo THE CALM GREY with singer Rio (Atomic Neon). The melancholic atmosphere - often very danceable songs -, Rio's new-wavy vocals and Mirco's beautifully accented guitar deliver a great overall Post-Punk New-Wave No-Wave package.
