Scouting for bands in Berlin
I'm going to Berlin soon, from the 2nd to 6th. That leaves three evenings that I can see bands, so I've been investigating last.fm for listings.
I was surprised at just how much good stuff I managed to find.
Bodi Bill

Really gentle instrumental electronica type stuff. Extremely pleasant.
Telekolleg

Rough-and-ready hardcore/screamo type fury. I actually really like these. Refused are in their top 8.
Vorwarts Schoner Weltenkotzer

More European screamo, in the vein of Belle Epoque or something. Proper screamo, with quiet twinkly bits, and DIY production.
Gudrun Gut

Inventive electronica. Plenty of interesting sounds in here. With breathy vocals.
The Internet's pretty good sometimes.
