Tramhaus is a band which flourishes in the unknown and enjoys looking for the boundaries of the common ground. With their overwhelming live energy, they will be able to turn venues into sweating crowds which will be sucked in the hypnosis of the post-punk music of the likings of bands such as Viagra Boys and Pissed Jeans. The flawless dance moves of frontman Lukas Jansen in combination with the gashing guitars and propelling drums, gives the live experience an almost frantic feeling. The band is being praised internationally for its lively and energetic live shows which can be admired throughout Europe in the coming year.
Enjoy The Great Escape!
