Dead Bob brings the raw spirit of the Canadian underground to Bielefeld

On June 27, 2026, the Forum Bielefeld - Boge Fabrik will transform into a compact, powerful live structure filled with punk energy, jagged rhythms, and unrestrained stage presence. Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, the long-time drummer and songwriter of No Means No; the project consolidates decades of experience, archival material, and new ideas into an unconventional concert experience.

An evening between impact and precision

Anyone who experiences Dead Bob live encounters songs that refuse to fit into a box. The official description refers to material that spans several decades and is intentionally loud: not to be listened to quietly, but to be taken in with full presence. The excitement of this evening lies exactly in the combination of raw punk impulse, rhythmic finesse, and an audience atmosphere that favors closeness over distance.

John Wright's solo project with deep roots

Dead Bob represents the creative continuation of an extraordinary career. On Bandcamp, Wright describes himself with stations like NoMeansNo, Hanson Brothers, DOA, and other projects; the debut Life Like was released in 2023, with further releases following in 2025 and 2026. Thus, in Bielefeld, it is not a nostalgia evening but a current chapter of Canadian underground history that takes the stage. ([deadbob.bandcamp.com](https://deadbob.bandcamp.com/))

The Forum Bielefeld as a fitting resonance space

The Forum in the old Boge factory has shaped the nightlife of the city since 1999 and is well-known for concerts as well as its mixture of electro, metal, indie, and Balkan beats. The location is at Meller Str. 2 in 33613 Bielefeld and is organized by Kulturgruppe e.V. For transportation, the venue also mentions the proximity to Bielefeld main train station as a clear advantage. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/tipp/forum))
