Vibravoid Post “Neustart” From New Album Remove the Ties; Celebrating 35th Anniversary
The photo above was taken this past weekend at the Tonzonen Festival, which long-running German garage/psych/acid/more-psych rockers Vibravoid played as part of their ongoing 35th anniversary celebration. Headed off by the single “Neustart,” the band will also have a new album, Remove the Ties, out in September as part of the revelry, and you can see the clip for the fuzz-buzzy track below, and even if it’s not the most complex story you’ve ever seen in a video — flashing lights and a couple well-dressed, dancing young women — those who stick around are rewarded when the freakout hits later on. Just a heads up to give it a chance, is all I’m saying.
I hear a fair amount of space and krautrock in here, which is fair enough game for Vibravoid, but they’ve always been a band aesthetically rooted in the latter half of the 1960s, so I would expect at least some of that anachronism to show up on the new record as well. Look out for other live dates too, as they seem to have stuff booked already for December for the anniversary.

VIBRAVOID – 1990-2025 – 35 YEARS OF MAXIMUM VOID VIBRATION
As children of the hippie era, VIBRAVOID belong to the only generation that, as teenagers in the 1980s, was able to save their parents’ Psychedelic-, Kraut Rock, Fuzz effects, and vinyl records from being thrown away. VIBRAVOID thus occupies a unique position within the German music scene.
Growing up in the tension between Ratinger Hof, Creamcheese and the Art Academy, founded in 1988 as Lightshow Society Düsseldorf and formed in 1990 as VIBRAVOID, the Düsseldorf band is Germany’s longest running active Neo-Psychedelic band, inventors of Neo-Kraut Rock, and an initiator of today’s vinyl boom. Vibravoid is a unique phenomenon. VIBRAVOID stands in the tradition of the first European psychedelic scene, which began in 1966 in the music metropolis of Düsseldorf and would change the world!
Like its predecessors of the first Kraut Rock wave, the VIBRAVOID sound was more popular abroad, with the band playing more often in London, Rome, Athens, and Helsinki than in Hamburg or Munich. The debut album “2001” was released in the first reprint for the Japanese market. Nevertheless, VIBRAVOID also set new impulses in their hometown; in 2000, the “2001” record release party at the Ratinger Hof was the first new rock concert there after 10 years of techno. In 2001 VIBRAVOID organized the first PSYCH FEST of the new millenium.
