Kino Motel bring Beach Goth to Mainz
On November 17, 2026, the culture club schon schön in Mainz will transform into a nocturnal soundscape: Kino Motel combines Australian gothic, slacker rock, post-punk, and cinematic noir into an independent beach-goth sound. The duo of Ed Fraser and Rosa Mercedes represents music that is both sunny and unsettling, romantic and raw.
Between Melbourne and Berlin
Since their formation in 2020, Kino Motel has been alternating between Melbourne and Berlin. From these two cities, they draw their unique atmosphere: warm guitar tones meet urban coolness, driving rhythms intertwine with dark melodic shadows. The stage performance thrives on this tension and develops an intense live atmosphere between indie concert, art-rock set, and cinematic night film.
A sound like flickering neon light
The term beach goth describes for Kino Motel far more than a genre label. Their songs navigate through angular post-punk guitars, laid-back slacker-rock hooks, and a precise orchestration of reverb, dynamics, and rhythmic synchronization. In concert, this creates a sound reminiscent of flickering neon lights, empty streets, and the onset of night.
From Visions to Symbolism
After numerous singles and extensive tours across Europe and Australia, Kino Motel released their debut album Visions in 2024. In autumn 2026, the second album Symbolism will follow. The new tracks were recorded in Melbourne and produced in Berlin. The album brings together distinctive moments that connect to a weave of signs, fragments, and emotional codes.
Intimate concert at schon schön
The culture club schon schön offers the perfect setting for this performance. The compact concert atmosphere brings the audience and the band closely together, allowing guitar sounds, vocals, and rhythm to have an immediate impact. Doors open at 7:30 PM, with the concert starting at 8:00 PM. Admission is donation-based, with a recommendation of 10 euros.
Conclusion: An evening for curious ears
Kino Motel promises no polished standard concert, but a distinctive concert experience between beach goth, post-punk, and cinematic noir. Anyone wishing to discover new sound worlds and experience an intense audience atmosphere in a small club setting should not miss this evening live in Mainz.
