Bands
The Moon Is No Door
The band The Moon Is No Door, initiated by Stepha Schweiger, merges experimental kraut and punk elements with a magical, poetic sensibility. On their first album, they revisited texts from the author Katherine Mansfield, transforming them into a fusion of psychedelic rock, indie-pop, and avant-garde improvisation. Stepha Schweiger especially values the collaboration within the band, along with the fact that the band project gives her the opportunity to create a harder, edgier, and more krauty sound to match Mansfield’s lyrics. The core lineup of the band features Stepha Schweiger on vocals, pianos, and synthesizers and production, Robert Pöschl on electric bass and co-production, Adam Goodwin on double bass and Mäx Huber on drums and vocals.
