Psychedelic Drive meets Alternative Power: A night that will make Passau vibrate

On Saturday, January 24, 2026, hypnotic neo-psych sounds and powerful alternative rock will merge at the Live Club Zauberberg in Passau: Spiral Drive and Molutov bring the ZauberFabrik series of the Music Promotion Association Passau to high voltage. The event starts at 19:30 – a concert experience between light, fog, and pulsating club acoustics.

Wide soundscapes, dense riffs – the live experience of Spiral Drive

Spiral Drive, the project of the German-Austrian multi-instrumentalist Raphaël Neikes, unfolds live a colorful sound between psychedelic rock, alternative, psych-pop, grunge, and indie. The orchestration of their songs relies on broad guitar surfaces, driving rhythmic grooves, and detailed synth sounds – perfectly synchronized with light and space. Since the albums Unity (2019) and Visions in Bloom (2022), as well as the celebrated single Space Train, the band has been considered an exciting European neo-psych act.

Molutov: 90s spirit with modern punch

The four-member alternative rock formation Molutov mixes grunge, hard rock, and shoegaze into a captivating, melodic live sound. Hard riffs, fast solos, and dreamy passages alternate – always focusing on vocal lines that stick in the club. The stage performance relies on direct energy and a dense band sound – ideal for the intimate club atmosphere.

Stage performance at club scale – closer to emotions

The Zauberberg stands for immediate audience mood: short distances to the stage, powerful sound, clear sight lines. The stage performance thus appears even more intense – every dynamic, every break, every crescendo lands directly in the audience. Pure live atmosphere that makes the evening a concert experience.

Expertise meets fans: Context and highlights

With Visions in Bloom, Spiral Drive refined their sound architecture – rich in riffs and reverb-soaked, yet precise in directing the dynamics. In the live set, hypnotic patterns merge with vocal hooks; influences from Tame Impala to King Gizzard shine through without overshadowing their own signature. Molutov contrasts this with earthy guitars, compact songwriting, and catchy choruses – a strong double act for a dramaturgically rounded concert evening.
