Crunch Tapes & Positive Transmitter present: DAZZLING KILLMEN (US) ๐๏ธ Wednesday, 14 October 2026 ๐ Neue Zukunft Garage (Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin) ๐ Doors: 19:00 | Show: 20:00 Foundational math rock and post-metal band Dazzling Killmen, known for strong noise rock and jazzcore elements, have announced their reformation and return to live performances. Founding members Nick Sakes (vocals, guitar) and Blake Fleming (drums, later of The Mars Volta) will perform together for the first time in 30 years, joined by bassist Evan Jagels and guitarist Ben Greenberg of Uniform. Formed in the St. Louis area in 1990, Dazzling Killmen originally consisted of vocalist/guitarist Nick Sakes alongside jazz students Blake Fleming and bassist Darin Gray. The band released four singles, a live cassette and two full-length albums before officially disbanding in 1995, with most of their catalog released on the influential independent label SKiN GRAFT Records. Drawing equally from hardcore punk and jazz, Dazzling Killmen have long been cited by critics and peers as a key influence on the development of math rock and post-metal. ๐๏ธ TICKETS: https://ra.co/events/2374419 https://dice.fm/event/8e6x32
Very mixed age range (early 20s-50s), strong mix of local Berliners, expats, and culturally engaged visitors, largely off the radar for mainstream party-tourists. Very mixed and heavily LGBTQ+ friendly.
Come as you are. Avoid business attire, formal wear.
Rejection only for aggressive intoxication, bigoted behavior, or sold-out concerts. No strict aesthetic dress code.
