Krauts are Cool, Dad
You local readers know all about the trashy, tacky, Cold-War-cocktail-party-cool aesthetic dominating Berlin right now. I assume it's a progression of Ostalgie, but the upshot is retro dance joints like Kaffee Burger, surf-ska bands from London like Plan 9, and a hot little act from Dresden called Robert and the Roboters, who played surfed-up covers of 1960s pop in the shadow of the Alte Nationalgalerie and its pompous gilded sign ("Der Deutschen Kunst") this evening before it rained. It's hard to describe the feelings of a native Californian watching kickass surf music played by Krauts in front of the Alte Nationalgalerie.
But I've heard Dresden has a happening Dixieland scene.
