ACUA is a psych-pop/alternative band from Cologne.
After over 80 concerts and successful tours across Europe, Canada, the UK, and Japan, as well as the release of two studio albums, Head Under Water and Is There More Past Or More Future, ACUA's new album will be released in September 2026. This time their music captures feelings about the longing of being present, the inevitability to carry on in this world and finding your place.
Patrick (vocals, guitar), Caroline (drums), Maja (synthesizer), and Igor (bass) have built a remarkable reputation through their captivating, hypnotic live shows.
With atmospheric guitars, driving drums, swirling synthesizers, and melodic basslines, ACUA has shared the stage as support act for artists such as FKJ, Darwin Deez, The Japanese House, Sam Evian, and OMNI. They have also performed at prominent festivals like Melt! Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, Canadian Music Week and Herzberg Festival. This year we will see them on tour in UK, in Japan as well as in brand new LIVE-Videos of their new songs in the so called theater sessions.

Kodak Kid is the alias of Luke Benjamin, a London raised, Lancaster based singer songwriter whose genre melding sounds and baritone voice has drawn comparisons to Damon Albarn and King Krule amongst others. His output is self described "escapist music for alienated souls" drawing from influences as disparate as No Wave, Post Punk, Jazz, Hip Hop, Dub and Dream Pop.
In 2025 Kodak Kid returned with the release "Junk" which blends golden age hip-hop, Latin, and jazz. Featuring Seye Adelekan's (Gorillaz) bass grooves & Dilip Harris' (King Krule) unconventional additional production, Kodak brought an exuberantly summery and stoned groove for the weary.
