TODAY I AM RELEVANT, TOMORROW I AM FORGOTTEN" TOUR 2025

In 2020, a then 22-year-old quoted the words of his role model Fred Hampton in an agitated voice: "We don't think you fight fire with fire best". The whole thing takes place at a demonstration of the Black Lives Matter movement on Berlin's Alexanderplatz.

In the year 2025, the now 27-year-old Gaspár Ali stands in front of a castle in a postcard motif and shouts "I can only react to hate with hate". It is the debut song "REVOLUTION" by the punk band GRENZKONTROLLE, whose singer is Don L. Gaspár Ali.

What has happened in the years since 2020 to change his attitude from the words of civil rights activist Fred Hampton to those very words? Anyone who seriously expects an answer to this question must have been in a coma, or is blind to the dramatic social, climatic and political upheavals due to innate privilege.

GRENZKONTROLLE are the angry four-piece collective that we need right now! Lyrics about unaffordable living space, somewhere between Fehlfarben, Neue Deutsche Welle, but also the rage of US rap.

At the beginning of October, the band will embark on the "TODAY I AM RELEVANT, TOMORROW I AM FORGOTTEN" TOUR 2025, which will take them through Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
