Having just wowed crowds at Melbourne’s ATP festival, Einstürzende Neubauten’s will now take their fearsome live show to Sydney and Brisbane.

Their shows have long been legendary for all the right reasons, literally trying to bring down the house (with jackhammers) on more than one occasion. Founded in West Berlin in 1980, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, they quickly became renowned for their intense noise assaults, blood-curdling screams and trenchant use of eclectic instrumentation – often constructed themselves from scrap metal and then bludgeoned and dismantled onstage with building tools – to augment their already visceral sound.

The band have released over a dozen acclaimed studio albums in their more than three decades together, it’s in the live sphere that the band have carved their fearsome aura, which is why Australian fans should be excited and scared in equal measure at the prospect of the arch sonic manipulators’ impending southern sojourn.

So if you missed them at ATP, don’t miss their sideshows this week on:

Friday 22nd February @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney, NSW (18+ only)

Saturday 23rd February @  Tivoli, Brisbane, QLD (18+ only)

With special guest support from Mick Harvey (joined by Rosie Westbrook and JP Shilo)
