Tickets für Baby Jesus + LUFT a certain kind presents 19.04.24 in Berlin, Schokoladen

Fiery, raw, and raucous, four-piece garage rockers, Baby Jesus, are keeping rock and roll alive and well in their hometown of Halmstad, Sweden, with psychedelic flare, a punk edge, and enough energy to heat up a hearty dinner of Sjömansbiff for 12.

Founding members and long time friends. Fredrik Kristoffersson (guitar/vox) and Elis Jäghammar (bass/vox), spent a few years together in various metal and hardcore punk projects.

It wasn't until they both moved to Oslo, Norway, in 2011 that they discovered and became infatuated with the 13th Floor Elevators— a legendary mid-sixties rock act from Austin, Texas largely credited with coining the phrase "psychedelic rock." The Elevators' music hit Elis and Fredrik like a rock. That experience opened their ears and writing sensibilities to the music of Night Beats, Black Lips, a range of Back From the Grave compilations, and—funny enough—Pugh Rogerfeldt, Träd, gräs och stenar, Philemon Arthur & The dung, and other great Swedish talents who made the rounds on their country's turntables in the late sixties and early seventies with their wild and often experimental amalgamations of rock, psych, folk, and country music.

2023 comes with new offerings i the form of the album simply titled "Rock n Roll Music" (for why lie when it's true). The album is filed with Rolling Stones-esque songs with lots of things going on in the background. There's a neat rhythm guitar, fuzz and a solo that's slippin' and slidin' all over the place. A rock n roll piece that inevitably will become a standard on every single god damned young rock 'n' roll bands setlist in the future.

LUFT is a band, primarily British and based in Berlin. Formed in 2023 by Tom Dougall of Toy and various other members of the London music SCENE, they draw inspiration from British eccentrics, pagan holidays, the bed, Nico & Lou & John and 50p in the jukebox – ethereal and ready to DISH OUT. Catch them soon at a venue near you.
