I remember Bang Bang Berlin
as words getting passed around at the Scala party—one of those concepts floating through the noise and cheap beer, mentioned in passing between stickers and whatever came next. It sounded like something that might exist someday, or might not. But it actually happened. The website launched recently, and it’s a guide to Berlin and all the different scenes moving through the city.
Liz started it with three other writers—Mertol, Emer, and Jobot. The appeal is pretty straightforward: four people with different ways of seeing Berlin, writing about it from those angles. Not a house voice or a brand, just four people writing about what actually matters to them. That’s harder to do than it sounds.
They’re planning more features and video eventually. Meanwhile Liz is juggling other work—freelance journalism, a web show with Palina—the kind of hustle where you’re doing five things at once because that’s the way it works.
I don’t know where it ends up. Could be nothing, could be something that actually matters. The difference usually comes down to whether the people involved give a shit, and these four seem to actually mean it.
