NIP SLIP’s founding members Lola von der Gracht & Alex Mara have been on stage together since 2018. With their various projects, they have played locally at Berghain, Musikbrauerei, Schinkel Pavillon, Ballhaus Berlin, Volksbühne, Planetarium, Ringlokschuppen Mülheim an der Ruhr, POP Kudamm and internationally at Ssense in Montréal,, Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, The Scotch of St. James innLondon and De Studio in Antwerp.


They have been described as a fusion of experimental band and innovative art project. The bands nonconformist attitudes feature in Lola von der Gracht’s provocative lyrics, thematizing subjects such as rebellion, death, love, freedom, addiction, hope and identity.


With their former project „Die Hässlichen Vögel“, von der Gracht and Mara have been featured in Interview Magazine US, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, Vogue Germany and Vogue US. Their music has been described as „floating between cavernous baroque to the driving punk that could have found itself at CBGB’s in New York’s underground heyday“ by Phil Backes in Document Journal), further likening them to New Wave and Riot Girl movement.
