For the upcoming Thursday–Sunday run of October 1–4, one compact guitar-music thread runs from a working post-punk group to the indie nights that inherited its atmosphere, bass weight and sense of drama. It begins on Thursday, October 1, with And Also The Trees at Bi Nuu, then shifts to Lido on Friday, October 2, for The Early Days • Throwback Indie Party. The pairing is useful because it puts a living early-1980s reference point beside the later, crowd-facing repertoire that keeps this family of sounds circulating in Berlin.[1][2][3][4][5]

A live root at Bi Nuu

And Also The Trees play Bi Nuu at 20:00 on Thursday with Cathrine Graindorge in support. The group formed in 1979 in rural Worcestershire amid the developing post-punk movement, yet its own account stresses an outlook shaped by landscape and local history. That distinction matters here: the band’s lineage reaches toward Joy Division and PiL’s era while its work developed a more theatrical, poetic and rural character. The Cure invited the group on tour in the early 1980s, and Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst produced key early releases.[1][2][5]

Bi Nuu’s event page frames the current material around The Devil’s Door and describes the band through orchestral guitar, soundtrack-minded writing, dark psychedelic undercurrents and dark jazz rhythms. Graindorge’s appearance is part of that texture, with the venue listing her as the support act and guest violinist on the record. This makes Thursday a concert for hearing how a foundational post-punk vocabulary has continued to gather unusual instrumental colours across decades.[1][2][5]

The songs that travelled onward

Friday’s route leads to Lido, where The Early Days starts at 22:00. Its stated playlist reaches from Pixies and New Order to Bloc Party, Editors, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and Foals: a map of indie’s club-facing decades, built for recognition and collective movement. In this context, the Joy Division reference in the CrowdMate listings functions less as a museum label than as an entry point into a long chain of guitar-pop, sharp rhythms and nocturnal songcraft. The night turns historical influence into a social archive with the volume up.[3][4]

Plan the two-night line

Take Thursday as the close-listening stop: Bi Nuu lists doors at 19:00 and the concert start at 20:00. Treat Friday at Lido as the late route, beginning at 22:00, with an 18-plus policy listed for the party. Together, these shows make a concise two-night passage through post-punk’s ongoing Berlin presence: first its original practitioners, then its durable indie afterlife. Recheck Bi Nuu and Lido’s official pages before leaving, since times, access details and programmes can change.[1][2][3][4]
