Banner. (NL) & Lucas Laufen

Banner

Banner.’s dreamy indie folk made its mark in 2017 with the release of debut EP 'Over Blue'. Already having garnered over 750,000 streams on Spotify alone, he’s now ready to release his sophomore EP 'Years In Shade' through V2 Records on January 25th. After two solo appearances at Sofar Sounds Berlin, Banner. now brings his full band to the city for the very first time.

Organic and lively songs interlaced with creative fingerpicking are the trademark of songwriter Banner. Ever since his first release Compass, he has been a vital part of many international Spotify playlists. It has resulted in an impressive list of shows, including the full support tour for Tame Impala drummer Julien Barbagallo across some of The Netherlands’ most respected venues as well as supports for SOLD OUT shows by Rhys Lewis, Newton Faulkner and Villagers.

At age twelve, Banner. picked up a guitar and never let it go again. He independently taught himself how to play, but his desire to delve deeper into the music grew naturally with the years. This led to his development as a musician, but also as a songwriter during his early adulthood. By writing atmospheric pieces of music that convey a deeper meaning within their universal message, Banner. has lifted indie folk to a new level.

The music is reminiscent of grand songwriters such as Nick Mulvey, Ben Howard, Fink and John Martyn. Live, Banner. and his band bring a highly dynamic stage presence.

Support // Lucas Laufen

In 2016, Lucas Laufen took his life halfway around the world, re-locating from his quiet coastal hometown in Australia to Berlin, Germany. Since the middle of 2016 and the release of his debut EP 'Goodbye', he has played over 120 shows across Europe, building an already loyal fanbase from the ground up.

Laufen’s music is the sort that makes us stop and breathe: sombre falsetto melodies married to shimmering guitar; elemental orchestrations that yearn and plunge – the coastal poetry of the wild Australian imaginary.
