  7. In a world increasingly sanitized and controlled, some still remember what it meant to live raw, loud, and untamed. That spirit returns in full force as Kinder der Wende brings a throwback to gritty youth culture with an underground concert on a mission — to remind us what it meant to belong to something real. Set in the heart of the Sport- und Kulturzentrum, this one-night-only event is not just about music — it’s a cultural statement. It’s a journey back to the days when young people found identity between concrete apartment blocks, in basement hideouts, and through the hiss of cassette tapes on worn-out boom boxes. Forget polished stages and filtered aesthetics — this night is dedicated to the underground scenes that thrived on bad beer, raw sound, and brotherhood. It’s a middle finger to mainstream narratives, and a loud celebration of what once was — and still lives on in us. 🔥 The Lineup Expect a ferocious energy from these heavy-hitting names in the punk and Oi! scene: Haymaker – The hardline street-punk icons bringing fire to the stage Martens Army – Boot-stomping, working-class anthems with zero compromise Eastside Dogs – Barking back with gritty riffs and clenched fists Inexakt – Fast, loud, and unapologetically real Biersturm – The name says it all: storm in your pint, chaos in your ears 🕒 Event Details 📍 Location: Sport- und Kulturzentrum 🕕 Doors Open: 18:00 🕖 Show Starts: 19:00 🎟️ Tickets: Available online or at: Pizza 66, Anhaltstraße 42, 06749 Bitterfeld P&P Handy und PC Reparatur, Petersrodaerstr. 19, 06808 Holzweißig Fitnessstudio Relaxpoint, Markt 10, 06780 Zörbig ➕ Extras On-Site 🚐 Camper van parking for the traveling crowd 🚿 Showers available for multi-day rebels 🍻 Frühschoppen (morning-after chill) to wind down or keep it going This isn’t just a gig — it’s a resurrection of the underground. It’s about reclaiming identity, rejecting conformity, and uniting under the banner of raw, working-class sound. If you’ve ever felt out of place in a polished world, this is where you’ll feel at home. Bring your boots. Bring your brothers. Let the walls shake again. View full article

  9. Malaysian Oi! legends A.C.A.B are set to go out with a bang as they celebrate 30 years in the scene with one final, unforgettable concert. Mark your calendars — “Bring Back The Bootboys” takes place on December 21, 2024, at Zepp Kuala Lumpur. Organized by A.C.A.B Productions, the show serves as both a tribute to their loyal fanbase and a powerful sendoff after three decades of shaping the local street rock and Oi! music scene. Frontman Max Mohammad shared how much this show means to the band: The concert will bring together A.C.A.B’s original lineup, current members, and even a few former bandmates from over the years — a rare reunion that’s bound to tug on some nostalgic heartstrings. And they’re not alone. Making the night even more electric, European Oi! outfit Haymaker will open the show — best known for their powerful rendition of Skinhead 4 Life, a classic anthem in the skinhead scene. Fans can look forward to 37 tracks from legendary albums like Eastern Oi!, Skinhead 4 Life, and Bangun, performed in full versions and medleys. Whether you’ve been following since the early days or just recently jumped on board, this setlist promises a wild, emotional ride through A.C.A.B’s best moments. Formed in 1994 by Max Mohammad and Edy J. Herwan, A.C.A.B has long been a cornerstone of Malaysia’s underground music culture. With raw releases like Demo '95, Unite & Fight, and the iconic Eastern Oi!, they paved the way for generations of street rock and punk musicians. This farewell concert is expected to be more than just a gig — it’s a tribute, a celebration, and a proper goodbye. Miss it, and you’ll be missing a piece of history.

    Vespa Primavera Batik

    The elegant lines of the Vespa meet the Batik patterns of indonesian culture. Introducing the Vespa Primavera Batik, a tribute to the joy that arises from the meeting of two cultural heritages. The Vespa Primavera Batik is a special edition model that evokes travel, the exploration of distant worlds and discovery, in iconic Vespa style. Milan, 5 July 2024 - The Vespa Primavera Batik was born of a meeting of distant cultures united by a diverse and rare elegance. The timeless shapes of the Vespa Primavera are combined with the themes and patterns of Batik, the traditional Indonesian fabric, obtained by means of exclusive, precious manufacturing processes which are recognised as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The earliest evidence of the art and technique of Batik dates back to the 12th century. This particular fabric, which is either printed or decorated by hand, always uses beeswax. It has its origins on the island of Java and was initially used to embellish the clothing of the aristocratic classes, before spreading through the Indonesian archipelago. Today, Batik remains a core element of Indonesian culture, and is worn on a daily basis, not just for formal events. Over the centuries, Batik has come to embody a symbolic philosophy, as well as a true means of expression, courtesy of the traditional designs used, which have a different meaning according to the shape or elements they represent. As such, Batik varieties go from Parang Rusak, reserved for royalty and nobility, to Sawat, a symbol of power, Semen, which evokes the symbols of cosmic energy, and Udan Liris, an emblem of fertility. Batik reached Europe in the 19th century, becoming a bridge between Eastern and Western culture; its exotically elegant patterns influenced key styles such as Art Nouveau, and in the present day, the world of haute couture. The Vespa Primavera Batik embraces the universal values of this philosophy in order to create a special edition that is an ode to life and joy, to travel and discovery. Its base colour, Batik Green, evokes waves crashing onto tropical beaches. The more rigorous lines call to mind hidden temples, while the Batik decoration unites no less than seven different mystical motifs, originating from the islands of Java, Sumatra and Bali. Among the themes that the seven different Batik patterns that decorate the Vespa refer to are prosperity and the origins of life, strength and longevity, respect for origins, charm and charisma, leadership and wisdom. These values are naturally associated with Vespa, its history, and its deep and authentic multiculturalism. The Batik decorations that adorn the Vespa Primavera are applied using Water Transfer Technology, beginning with the “cravattino”, the characteristic and distinctive frieze on the front, as well as embellishing the opening of the glove compartment on the counter shield and running along the footboard and the Vespa's flanks. The saddle, in a light brown colour with stitching in green tones, adds a natural feel, recalling the colours of sunny beaches. The matching top box, which can be customised with Batik stickers (available separately) broadens the functionalities of the Vespa Primavera Batik, adding cargo space and completing the aesthetics of one of the most joyful versions of the Vespa in its long history.
  11. JAKARTA - When Indonesian executive Heret Frasthio takes his antique 1957 VL Vespa for a ride, its white paint peeling off, the usual fumes and hum of the free-spirited scooters cannot be seen or heard. The two-wheeler is just one of the vintage models converted by his company as it tries to turn a love for the Italian icon into an environmentally friendly pursuit. Indonesia has long suffered from air pollution partly driven by its addiction to inefficient, old cars and scooters, including nearly one million Vespas as of 2022, according to the country's Vespa Club. "Vespa has a unique design. It has a historical and nostalgic value. It's not just a vehicle, it's also fashion," said Frasthio, chief executive of Elders, which converts the older bikes into electric vehicles. The country's leaders are pushing for more EVs on its roads, with a target of 13 million electric motorcycles by 2030 -- ambitiously far from the current number of 160,000, according to transport ministry data. But Elders is playing its part in what the government hopes will be the early stages of an electric vehicle revolution. Frasthio says the firm has converted and sold around 1,000 Vespas across the country since its founding in 2021 and one day aims to develop its own electric scooter. Once converted, a Vespa's fully charged electric battery can last 60-120 kilometres (37-74 miles), and up to 200 kilometres for an upgraded battery. "This electric Vespa can be a solution for countries that require low emissions from motorcycles," Frasthio said. - Clean contribution - Yet pricing remains a major stumbling block in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. Frasthio's proud but humble Vespa cost $34,000 to buy before conversion. A brand-new Vespa Elettrica imported from Italy can cost 198 million rupiah ($11,750) and the European company already sells a range of electric scooters in the continent. But for those who want to stay retro, there are kits to convert to vintage scooters to electric that cost between $1,500 and $3,900, Frasthio said. The chance to switch is attracting customers who want a fashionable ride without contributing to noise and air pollution. One of them is Hendra Iswahyudi, who bought a converted Vespa from Frasthio's firm, remembering the effort of riding an old model as a student. "You would turn on the ignition and take a shower while waiting for the engine to be ready," the 56-year-old said. Riding an antique Vespa from the 1960s without the pollution and the noise in Jakarta's heavy traffic has also earned him curious looks. "People who like Vespa came to have a closer look and told me that my scooter was very cool," he said. The civil servant supports the niche industry for converting scooters, despite government plans to put a new fleet of electric vehicles on the road. "I feel comfortable riding the Vespa. I feel like I've contributed to the clean air," he said. - Nostalgia - But a yearning for the nostalgia of an original Vespa is keeping some from taking the cleaner option, instead choosing to keep the roar of an older engine. "I prefer the authentic Vespa with its original noise because it's what makes it unique. You can hear it coming from afar," said Muhammad Husni Budiman, an antique Vespa lover. "It's classic and nostalgic." The 39-year-old entrepreneur fell in love with antique Vespas when he was young and started to collect some from the 1960s and 70s. In 2021, he established a Jakarta-based club for Vespas produced in the 1960s that now boasts hundreds of members. Despite trying an electric Vespa, Budiman's club is mainly for those who love original models. Frasthio is conscious that some Vespa lovers like Budiman will be hesitant about the EV uptake. But he was quick to dispel the theory that his company was putting the conventional scooters they adore in a bad light. "We are not trying to lecture anyone about pollution issues," he said. "We are just offering, for those not used to manual motorcycles, that electric motorbikes can be a solution." - AFP
