German youth rock band 'Nulltarif' performed at the Goethe Institut in Dhanmondi in Dhaka on November 24. The concert was a joint event of the Goethe-Institut, PASCH (Partners for the Future, a new school initiative programme from Germany) and Black, local alternative band.

Nulltarif means 'for free.' It is also the name of a young rock band from the Stuttgart area, the four musicians, Jules, Danny, Denis and Tobi, regularly give away their hearts- wherever they are given free electricity! Their energy, passion and a style they call 'PussyProck may sound lurid and catchy and may mislead you to expect very explicit, juicy lyrics. The performance of Nulltarif enthralled the audience. Most of the audience was rock lovers and youths. Band members of Nulltarif questioned to the music lovers "How to make a gift to your special someone, how to bridge the emotional gap between two people, how to live life your way?" Then they replied that anybody could find the music that alternates between philosophy, melancholy, humour and self-irony. No wonder therefore, that everyone who has seen them live in concert is amazed by the flow of passion in their music and lyrics.

Besides Nulltarif, local alternative rock band Black also performed in the show. The show began at 6:30pm and gate was opened from 6:00pm. Ticket price of the show was Tk 99.
