DRUNKEN DINOSAURS 

Indie Rock & Pop

20 Uhr

 They’re back! For the second time, the Drunken Dinosaurs are stomping into Betty’s Black Pearl. Don’t worry: these aren’t ancient, drunken reptiles who’ve been hanging out at the bar since the Cretaceous period. Instead, you can expect five young, musically tipsy indie dinosaurs from the Bremen and Oldenburg area.

Since 2022, the Drunken Dinosaurs have been making music together and writing their own songs—somewhere between indie rock and pop, between loud and soft, between dreamy and energetic. They don’t follow a set formula, but simply go with what feels right. And that’s exactly the mix they bring to the stage.

In recent years, the five musicians have played numerous local concerts and competed in the state finals of Local Heroes Lower Saxony, among other events. Now they’re returning to the Black Pearl to once again deliver honest songs, rousing melodies, and plenty of live energy.

If you’re in the mood for handmade music, a strong stage presence, and an evening full of good vibes, you shouldn’t miss this concert. The Drunken Dinosaurs are back—Rebirth!

Admission: FREE!!!

LILY OF THE DEVIL - Folk Rock

20 Uhr

The Devil isn’t wearing Prada today – he’s coming armed with a violin, a flute and plenty of rock!

LILY OF THE DEVIL, an extraordinary band from Oldenburg, Münster and Krefeld, are pulling into Betty’s Black Pearl. Here, powerful guitars meet folk-inspired melodies, metal-inspired passages meet warm vocals – and as if that weren’t special enough, the violin, flute and the Swedish nyckelharpa also play a major part. Anyone who thinks this can’t possibly go together hasn’t experienced this band yet.

Katharina enchants with her expressive voice and flutes, Christian provides the necessary punch on guitar, Marie-Theres plays the violin, nyckelharpa and piano, whilst Yannic lays the musical foundation with his bass.

By turns mystical, rock-inspired, folk-tinged and, in between, with a good dose of metal – LILY OF THE DEVIL prove that musical boundaries are only there to be crossed. Anyone in the mood for an extraordinary musical journey should definitely not miss this evening.

Admission: FREE!!!

HARD BLUES: THE DEVILS 

Support: Green Blues Band

20 Uhr

From the Cradle straight to Hell – The Devils at Betty's Black Pearl

Excellent blues, served raw and with plenty of spice: The Devils are one of those bands where you know after the first song that nothing predictable is going to happen today. The guitarist in particular keeps the audience on constant alert – never boring, always surprising. Perhaps a little dirty, but definitely disciplined, powerful and with razor-sharp arrangements. No hesitation, no sloppiness, no watered-down blues rock.

Musically, the Danes draw inspiration from the darker chapters of blues history. Singer Søren Bruun, guitarist Lars Diers, bassist Christian Balder and drummer Magnus Söderberg confidently describe their style as ‘dirty blues rock’. Genre boundaries? More like craft materials. Cute? Definitely not. Love songs and tearful melancholy are left out. Bruun hurls his voice through an old Green Bullet harmonica microphone, mastering an extremely distorted quartet sound that has nothing to do with smooth blues productions. Instead: 1950s lo-fi transistor sound, uncompromising and hypnotic.

Original songs? They don't need them. The Devils take harmonious classics by Slim Harpo, Kim Wilson, Magic Sam and Willie Dixon and give them a partly trance-like, wonderfully rough coat of paint. The result: blues that scratches, grooves and sticks.

And as if that weren't enough blues for one evening, we're also sending the Green Blues Band into the fray. Four guys and Alicia who play the blues so convincingly that you briefly wonder whether they've been secretly rehearsing with Muddy Waters – completely impossible in terms of timing, but musically astonishingly plausible.

There's no flirting here, just hard work: groovy rhythms, crisp riffs and a sound that smells more like smoky back rooms than polished stages. Blues without filters, without a safety net and without the slightest fear of really letting rip.

In short: the Green Blues Band doesn't warm you up – it pulls you in. If you can still walk straight afterwards, you haven't been listening properly.

From the cradle straight to the bar at the Black Pearl. Blues approved.

We can promise you one thing: it doesn't get any more blues than this.

The Black Pearl becomes the House of Blues.

DEAF LIZARD 

Fuzzy Psychedelic Stoner Rock

20 Uhr

After a long wait, the time has finally come: the desert rockers from DEAF LIZARD in Oldenburg are rolling onto the Black Pearl stage – and anyone who has ever seen a lizard with the amplifier turned up to eleven knows that this is not going to be a quiet evening.

With a fresh lineup and plenty of desert sand between their strings, DEAF LIZARD bring their uncompromising mix of psychedelic stoner and hard rock directly to the stage. Fuzzy guitars roll through the room, while the bass pushes like a jet plane taking off and the drums drive everything forward with the energy of a sandstorm.

But that's not all: doom metal heaviness and psychedelic excursions also have their place in the band's sound. Somewhere between desert visions and tube amp glow, the rafters creak when the deaf lizards embark on their musical expedition.

Inspired by the great forefathers of fuzz, they don't do things by halves, but go all out. When DEAF LIZARD turn their amps up to eleven, no stone is left unturned – and no foot is guaranteed to stay still.

In short: if you're into bone-dry stoner rock, booming riffs, and honest volume, don't miss this concert. The lizards are on the loose – and they're coming to clean up.

Admission: FREE !!!
