# rhabarber pop
# rock lobster

Brand new, pew pew pew! Rhubarb pop meets barbershop hop. A rock lobster indie wrap. Art pop, smart pop, stupid pop. Highbrow, lowbrow, Bauhaus. Indie whatever, grrrl!
cutecumber is a kind of indie rock band™, but queer, nerdy and cute. The trio from Zurich is clearly identifiable by their floral patterns, animal prints, and an inexplicable penchant for unsmoked cigarettes, ping-pong balls, freshly hatched kittens, and uninteresting side characters from computer games.

cutecumber sind eine Art Indie-Rock-Band™, aber queer, nerdig und süss. Das Trio aus Zürich lässt sich anhand von Blumenmustern, Animal Prints, und einem unerklärlichen Faible für ungerauchte Zigaretten, Ping-Pong Bälle, frisch geschlüpfte Kätzchen und uninteressante Nebencharaktere aus Computerspielen eindeutig bestimmen. Alle drei drittel der Musiker*innen singen. Die kumulierte Schwarmintelligenz der Band kann fast Französisch, durchaus Englisch, und ebenfalls Deutsch. Geografisch gemittelt, müsste der resultierende Dialekt der Gemeinde Rickenbach entsprechen, was aber überhaupt nicht stimmt.

EN About (long(er))
cutecumber encourage you to leave your comfort zone and to experiment with fun but serious topics like gender, queerness and equality. We celebrate the discovery of the weird parts of yourself, showing them to new people with whom you can go dancing with a 3-am-smile on a webcam party. Simeon Thompson (music editor of Radio Stadtfilter) wrote on Ron Orp: “Zurich’s supergroup of the hour strikes back with an irresistible hymn to smoking. ‘Cigarette Day’ sounds as if the band had improvised the piece in one go, not dissimilar to the most arousing moments of LCD sound system. At some point they tell you - more spoken than sung - ‘I'm just an addict’, and you realize that you feel the same concerning this single."
EN About (short)

- 3 healthy vegetarian meals:
  - 1 without spicy stuff.
  - 1 without soy/tofu, without cabagge and cabagge-related vegetables (broccoli, coliflower, etc), corn, lentels and peperoni, and without hazelnut, almonds, walnuts. Very small amounts of everything (like soy sauce for flavoring or ingredients in spices is ok).
- some healthy snacks in the backstage would be great (bananas and bread and cheese are always winners).
- a backstage with a mirror would be cool. during summer enough shade in a cool area is much appreciated.
- a place to sell our merch (a big table and something to hang our shirts) in a well visible spot with proper lighting
