Antifolk with Bite: THE BLACK ELEPHANT BAND brings the Schimmelhof to Life
On June 25, 2026, an evening will be held in Braunschweig that sounds like raw honesty, bitter humor, and direct live energy: THE BLACK ELEPHANT BAND performs at Das Kult, Hamburger Straße 273. The solo antifolk folk-punk of Jan Bratenstein from Nuremberg is known for short, precise songs, harmonica, sharp guitar playing, and a stage performance that oscillates between satire and heart rate. The concert is scheduled for 20:00 to 23:00, with a ticket price of 18 euros, reduced to 12 euros; there will be an additional charge at the box office.

Raw, Direct, and Full of Audience Proximity
THE BLACK ELEPHANT BAND thrives on a presence that does not rely on grand gestures and therefore sticks in your mind. The songs are short, pointed, and full of dark wit; the guitar remains intentionally tough, while the voice catches attention with an unvarnished timbre. Those who love folk-punk, antifolk, and a hefty dose of quirky energy will get a concert experience that ignites immediately. The project has been on tour for years, with over 1400 shows played and releases like Teebee Eebee and The Back Elbow Front Slam. ([theblackelephantband.com](https://theblackelephantband.com/about))
Das Kult as a Fitting Frame
The venue provides the right intimacy for an evening of this kind. Das Kult is located in the Schimmelhof, and admission is 30 minutes before the start, with access exclusively via Hamburger Straße. There are parking spaces directly in front of the theater on the Schimmelhof, the hall is accessible via a small ramp, and the interior is barrier-free; up to 90 seats are available depending on the event. Drinks and snacks are also provided. ([daskult-theater.de](https://www.daskult-theater.de/tickets.html))
Between Folk, Punk, and Literary Spotlight
Bratenstein's music navigates not only between blues-punk and antifolk but also between concert and literary handwriting: He is an author and part of a widely branched DIY environment, ranging from Folk's Worst Nightmare to various band and project activities. This special blend of authority, experience, and unfiltered stage presence shapes his shows. For Braunschweig, this means: no polished pop spectacle, but an evening with friction, wit, and pace.
