2012
JJ from NYC and Jonathan from Berlin rented a basement studio in 2010 and started playing music. In Winter they spent eight days and eight nights in the studio and recorded their debut album ‘Bones’. Some window fell on JJ’s head and shattered. Since then their band is called ‘Fenster’. ‘Bones’ was released earlier this year via Morr Music, the release-show made Berlin’s Marie Antoinette burst at the seams and since then Fenster are touring non-stop through Europe and the USA. JJ and Jonathan are currently relaxing from a turbulent first half of 2012 at a Greek beach, we expect them back on Torstraße recovered and tanned together with their band mates Rémi and Tad.
2016 Super Sunday
Torstraßen Festival Edition #1, 2011: The band Fenster show up at CCCP Bar, unfold the infamous ironing-board, and mesmerize with the sensitively playful pop music they’re still known for five years later. Today, the small enterprise around power couple Jonathan Jarzyna and JJ Weihl look back on their notable output. Among their products: three albums released on Morr Music, among them the self-produced magnum opus “Emocean”, a psychedelic, science fiction music-movie starring the band itself. Fenster are not only intimidatingly productive—they’re also highly collaborative in their method of production: for this special Volksbühne concert, we expect a Best of Fenster show with special guests and other delightful surprises. May we call this “Friendster”?
