Skandaløs Festival präsentiert: Temmis

Skandaløs Festival invites a warm-up with Temmis: On June 24, 2026, at the Schanzenzelt in Hamburg, the band from Tübingen will bring their blend of post-punk, new wave and synth-pop to the stage. Temmis build on the shimmering club sound of the early ’80s, but reinterpret it through a contemporary DIY aesthetic. Since their single “Wenn du da bist,” their approach has become clear: driving basslines, cool synth beds and rhythms that go straight to the body, paired with dark vocals and a dry, self‑ironic tone in the lyrics.

Live, Temmis condense these elements into compact, danceable tracks that oscillate between angular melancholy and propulsive hooks. The result sounds immediate, pared down to the essentials and deliberately raw in the right places. Where new wave and post-punk often stay stuck in retro, Temmis seek friction with techno-tinged arrangements and clear structures that do without unnecessary frills. A set for anyone who loves synth-pop but doesn’t want to miss the club’s intensity — and for those curious to hear what today’s New German Wave can sound like.
