Sunny day in Berlin-Kreuzberg, mid-September. Gibelin’s skilled guys, Valio and Tony, talk about the fruits of their labor and the new adventure “Kuker”. They have achieved a lot, but one thing remains: “We are still waiting for Popa (‘the priest’, TN), the singer of Oratnitza, to consecrate us.”

In the past months, the internet has been the best club the world has ever known. Whether in the form of a proper, full-length concert, an evening with friends or a digital tour, life streaming has succeeded in satisfying the audience’s hunger for culture, at least to a degree.

“The 7 Deadly Sins of Live Streaming” is a two-part series about the things that ruin the digital concert experience.

This organisation is also what connects him to Gibelin. Here Alex opens up in an interview about long-lasting friendships and the necessity of challenges.

Founded in 1991, the band Ostava are to this day one of the biggest alternative rock bands in Bulgaria. They enjoy returning to Germany over and over again. Until now, four unforgettable music journeys have brought them here. Some of those they have experienced alongside Gibelin. We reached out to guitar player Georgi Georgiev remembering our common concerts, talking about creativity in times of quarantine, and looking forward to the creative surprises that the future will surely bring us.
