Hello all you wonderful people out there.

Welcome to Soundcheck Charlie, a Berlin-based music blog where you’ll find tons of tidbits about live music and local musicians in the poor but sexy city of Berlin. My name is Gabi, and I’m a music-obsessed American transplant living in Germany. Along with info about the musical goings-on in Berlin, you can also expect the occasional post about up-and-coming bands/artists worldwide, because—let’s face it—there’s just too much great music out there to limit these posts to one city.

Stay tuned for reviews of some fantastic shows I’ve seen recently, as well as my write-up of this weekend’s infamous Cranky Fest and tantalizing notes of what the future will hold…
