Concert highlight: Guts Pie Earshot mix punk and techno in Osterholz!

The Cologne music scene can look forward to an exciting evening! On Friday, February 20, 2026, Guts Pie Earshot will perform at the Kleinbahnhof (KuZ) cultural center in Osterholz-Scharmbeck. This band has reinvented itself over more than three decades, bringing audiences into ecstasy with their unique combination of punk and techno.

Originally founded in Cologne in 1993, Guts Pie Earshot emerged from the band “Flowerhouse”. What started out as a five-piece avant-garde hardcore group has now developed into a fascinating duo. With Jean Jacobi on drums and Patrick Reerink bringing the electric cello to life, they present a musical performance that operates far away from usual musical structures. Their instrumentation is minimalist and offers an exciting mix of different styles, from hardcore and breakbeat to jazz, classical music and folk.

A sound universe of emotions

The band is known for their intense live performances, where aggressive drum breakbeats and staccato cello bursts define the atmosphere. According to the band's history, Guts Pie Earshot aims to put the audience in a state of intoxication and transport them to new worlds of sound. The rough charm of the garage band is always noticeable. The sound has influences from different genres, fascinating and hypnotic at the same time.

With over 1500 concerts in Europe since their inception, Guts Pie Earshot have built up a considerable fan base. They can be seen more often at festivals, including the renowned Sziget and Fusion festivals. Her creative abilities also extend to theater productions, including at Schauspiel Köln and Theater Bielefeld. The band has released a total of 14 albums and remains active in cultural exchange, particularly in Eastern Europe, where they network with artists from Lithuania and Russia.

Innovative collaborations and projects

Particularly noteworthy is Guts Pie Earshot's collaboration with the flying trapeze ensemble OMNIVOLANT since 2017. This interdisciplinarity illustrates how flexibly the band deals with different art forms. The connection to theater music and participation in artistic spectacles also underline the musicians' diverse talents.

Another highlight of the concert will be Enohn Herpa, who is known as a proven specialist for innovative music. The joint performance will certainly guarantee an unforgettable evening where the audience can fully enjoy not only the music but also the visual experience.

The anticipation for the concert at KuZ is increasing and the tickets are in great demand. So if you want to be there, don't hesitate! Whether old hands of the band or new discoverers - Guts Pie Earshot promise an experience that you won't quickly forget. As the band itself says: Music is a journey, and the audience is transported into other spheres in time.
