Trashmonkeys

Trashmonkeys brought their raw indie rock sound to the Telekom Street Gigs at Berlin's Velodrom on December 5, 2010. Driven by guitars, sharp hooks and the band's direct stage energy, the set matched the venue's large urban setting perfectly.

This gallery captures the moments between movement, light and focused performance: loud, unpolished and powered by the kind of momentum that makes their songs hit hard in a live setting.

About the band Trashmonkeys

Trashmonkeys are a German indie rock band from Düsseldorf, active since the late 1990s and known for combining guitar-driven rock with catchy melodies and a strong punk edge. Their sound draws on British-style indie rock, garage rock and alternative pop without losing its roughness. That balance made them a recognisable name in Germany's indie scene throughout the 2000s.

Albums such as Clubtown, Ordinary Life and The Maker showcase a style built for both sweaty clubs and festival stages. From a concert photographer's perspective, the band's live appeal is immediate: fast movement, genuine interaction and an unfiltered stage presence that feels like a proper rock show rather than a polished performance.

  • Origin: Düsseldorf, Germany
