ENERGY LEVEL:UNDERGROUND
SETTING:INDOOR
DRESS:RELAXED-CASUAL

SO36 sits on Oranienstraße in Kreuzberg, a neighborhood that wore its working-class edge like armor long before gentrification arrived. The venue itself is a converted ballroom from the 1970s, its walls absorbing decades of sweat and sound. Punk posters layer over each other like geological strata. The lighting stays deliberately low, the bass stays deliberately loud.
