TEAM SCHEISSE (GER)
Everyone who is involved with

Phenomenon and maybe not a completely new band after all.
In 2021 they released their first with "I brought you flowers from the gas station (now we're kissing)".
LP that literally hit like a bomb. In November 2021 they played their first live show for the release of their LP in front of a sold-out audience in Bremen
text safe house.
At the beginning of 2022 we went on a mini tour for the first time, which was sold out within a very short time.
By now they were on everyone's lips and more in demand than water in the desert. ...and all in times
a pandemic! With their special German punk, they are definitely in the right place at the right time.
Your lyrics are simply... simply brilliant! They are full of humor, but also quite serious topics
definitely in tune with the times.
Start collecting your deposit, because in 2023 Glaubitz will say "Insloch, beep"

THE STITCHES (US)
THE STITCHES were in Europe for the last time in 2013, we were allowed to see them at our open-air festival in the
Juha Rosswein host... 10 years later the time has finally come and they play on our baby in
Glaubitz!
We'll just shut up and just quote Dirk Klotzbach's longer introduction to one
Interview in OxFanzine with singer Mike Lohrman, there is no better way to describe the band,
Sugar:
“Should it really be necessary to introduce THE STITCHES from Los Angeles? Should actually anyone this
If you answer the question with "yes", that's how this someone would have deserved it, from the boys themselves

myself, by the way, couldn't have itch less. In contrast to many of today's bands and those of that time,

Debut on vinyl of all times, when this medium had already cremated almost everyone? while in

Wanting to taste the fame, the STITCHES simply beat some into alcohol, amphetamines and other substances

Hm, looking at the current state of affairs conjures up a long-lasting grin in the middle
in the face. Because the previous mix is varied and above all top-class. In the spirit

is a punk rock festival like we couldn't do better. Okay, we do it yes and
that's why we're so excited again and really looking forward to the three days in the
July. Because even in addition to the first-class program on stage, the unique
Wellness days that we - bands, audience and crew - together again to the best of 2023
make. We're really up for it and are eager to continue tinkering. Like it
looks like there will be a few top-class artists in the line-up before punk Christmas. Stay great
curious; excited!
If you want to significantly increase your anticipation or that of others by the end of the year,
we have prepared something: our super chic hard tickets. They look damn good
are fabulously handy and lie ingeniously in the hand. Total hammer, you have to do that
try out!

THE SPARTANICS (GER)
If you don't know THE SPARTANICS, you wouldn't suspect when listening that the trio in
Leipzig/Connewitz is more rooted in East End London. We watch the band whose
Members have been BTF visitors for a long time.
The guys play no frills Oi! punk, with a distinctly British touch. Had the band
Given in England 40 years ago, they would undoubtedly be on one of these legendary Oi!
Sampler landed.
But back to the present - there is so much energy and connection in their songs
this classic Oi! sound with a politically correct claim, we really like that!
...finally loud again Oi! Oi! Oi! roar along! They currently have their second LP via
Smith & Miller Records, dubbed Sad Days For The Kids.

CHEAP STUFF (GER)
The five Dresdeners have been with us for more than 20 years at the BTF. At first
as a welcome band, in recent years increasingly as crew members and
paying guests. ...and now it's our turn to make things easier
our guilty conscience!
Not every festival can claim to be such a classy and likeable one
To have a band right on your doorstep, musically you would find their melodic
Streetpunk is more likely to be associated with the west coast of America.
Your last LP "Kings and Pawns" has probably shown more than clearly that the
Boys still have a lot of bite even after a longer release break - great album!
Dear CHEAP STUFFER - see you in Glaubitz in July at the latest!

DEECRACKS (AUT)
The three Viennese punk rockers are known for their merciless live shows. No wonder with far
over 800 gigs on four continents they have a lot of practice at it. The concertless Corona
Time must have been an absolute nightmare for her, especially since it was her last at that time
Aptly titled "Serious Issues" album on American label Pirates Press
appeared.
Now they are fulfilling another wish and can be behind our little one in the summer
Punk festival "Back To Future" also make a tick.
We say Welcome to punk rock wellness in the provinces, DeeCracks!

THE MELMACS (GER) - cool name, cool band, best sound! <
Who remembers the early nineties TV series "ALF"? yes sure
almost everyone here. Alf landed on Earth from the planet Melmac,
which was destroyed by a nuclear catastrophe and
was then characterized by the finest lounging.
The danger of a nuclear catastrophe is more relevant than ever
and loafing is still frowned upon. ...but then come
THE MELMACS with their good mood sound/power pop/77 punk
around the corner and make the world colorful again and leave
forget. Their brand new disc "GOOD ADVICE" is forthcoming
a few days with a terrific delay at Wanda and
Bakraufarfita Records landed - absolute purchase recommendation from us!
...and next year the band members are not only in
audience or represented in the BTF crew, but also on the
Glaubitz stage.

DEAD 77 (US)
DEAD 77 are rather unknown in Oiropa. The boys are coming
from Los Angeles and classify themselves as the “West Coast
punk rock” to. That is geographically correct and the optical style
also fits in with it, but musically it goes a whole way
Level more aggressive to the point - the band even more sympathetic
power.
This year her first long player came with "Demons".
out and it's going in 2023, after a short flying visit
this year, a second time to Europe. Watch out! -
absolute insider tip! We've already heard it
Goosebumps, they probably have additional explosives live
on bag!
P.S.- who "Civilization's Dying" by the brilliant ZERO BOYS
makes it even more ingenious, it's a must-see in Glaubitz
introduce!

PASCOW
One of the most popular German punk bands becomes a repeat offender and the number 4 is particularly prominent. Because for the 4th time, 4 years apart (2011, 2015, 2019, 2023), her path leads back to the Saxon province. Just like PASCOW, our little festival has become more and more popular and attractive over the years and these are just two points that connect us.
And of course they don't dare to come to us empty-handed, they'll have their brand new album with them in 2023, which will be called "Sieben".
After the 9-euro ticket has been abolished, it will probably be "hitchhiking to Glaubitz" again next year!

KENNY KENNY OH OH
The guys from Leipzig play straight punk rock full of melodies and
hymn-like choirs, they don't break the 2-minute mark with any song! The
Riot Grrrls get straight to the point, convey important content and
will not negotiate!
KENNY KENNY OH OH will make for a nice wild party in Glaubitz.
