You might know Josiah Wolf from his band Why? who also performed at our very own Vette Analoge Shit night back in 2009. As off the 20th of this month the band will be touring through Europe again (tour dates here), but they unfortunately will not be playing in our little old country. Luckily for you Josiah and his lovely wife Liz will! And even luckier for us Dutchies: this will be the only show in the BeNeLux.

If you’re a (very) slow reader, the video above is done playing by now and you don’t need any more convincing (if you want some more though listen to Josiah on Spotify). So let’s jump to it:

Het Gloren (NL)

RELEASE PARTY #2: you can already preview one song of the upcoming debut ‘Glorie 1 2 3‘ on our site, but this night you’ll get the opportunity to be the first to listen to all the new songs by this Dutch singer-songwriter. Het Gloren will be accompanied by some musical friends (and family).

Kanipchen-Fit (NL / USA)

KANIPCHEN-FIT uses two voices, electric guitar, tambourine, maracas and minimal beats for optimum effect. The music is unsentimental, the lyrics try to stay ironic, taking on subjects as rain, late night braggadocio, love-starved strangers, heroic alcoholics and prison entertainment.

Friday February 5th
(yet another edition of Vette Analoge Shit!)

Railcars (us)

And then there was Railcars, who recorded its first 7″ in the Kitchen of Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart. Railcars is an attempt to bring the images that have haunted Aria’s mind to life using drum boxes, synths, and noise pedals with sentiments recreated in lyrical form. The current four member line up for Railcars live performances was established by Jalali before touring with Handsome Furs in April 2008. Railcars can be compared to Jamie Stewards side project Former Ghosts, Wavves with a touch of Animal Collective. Ain’t that fresh!
listen to some tunes here!

Neon Rainbows

Straight forward rock comes from the hand of Neon Rainbows. These fellows gained quite some fame under the name of Fever dream. Since it’s not up to us to pull old cows out of the ditch we compare them with Les Savy Fav and Cursive.
listen to some tunes here!

Eklin

Last and least would be Eklin, formally known as Adept. About the ‘least’ thing we were kidding, Duh! These nice fellas bring you experimental electronics packed with oppressive and exceptionally dark energy! Lately they’ve added a Blonde Reddish girly person to their line up who treats eyes and ears…out of heressss!

Don’t know miss Thao yet? This is what KillRockStars had to say about her:

According to Thao Nguyen, she has two talents: her first is she has a knack for beat-boxing and humming at the same time (Rahzel needn’t worry about any competition just yet though…) and her second, and in her opinion finest, is that she had a capacity to watch so much TV as a kid, she’s convinced her personality is made up of several different sitcom characters. Of course Thao, the 23 year Virginia-bred songwriter, is forgetting her unique voice, natural sense for a good melody, and striking lyrics, skillful guitar plucking and her deadly dry sense of humour. Thao’s debut for Kill Rock Stars, showcases all these talents and more, proving she’s a star in the making.

Better yet. Listen to one of their songs and fill up that empty page in your agenda asap.

Friday 27th, November @ Kargadoor, Utrecht

Moon & Sun plays the self-invented genre of Apocalypso. The resulting EP ‘Moon & Sun sings Apocalypso’ contains 4 of the most seducing songs that were made this year. Crackly triphop beats and the sultry voice of Tormell, mixed with Carribean rythms and surprising samples.

1. Moon & Sun – Ashes

Audiotransparent from Groningen is one of The Netherlands’ best and most underrated bands. Their melancholic songs are dressed in tasteful, hypnotic arrangements, with a creative use of strings and samples. Time to check them out and upperrate them! (OK this last sentence I wrote my self)

Ryland Bouchard (ex-The Robot Ate Me) occupies his own odd universe. With a high voice he sings strange indiepop songs on dark topics, such as his schizophrenic mother that was raped in prison by the prison guards, or his extremely religious brother who would regularly beat Bouchard up, for ‘religious’ reasons. Bouchard sometimes plays folk songs with an acoustic guitar, other times he’ll do indiepop with keyboards and drum computers, or he’ll suddenly start playing avant-garde compositions with clarinet and percussion. Live he lets the audience play an important role in the music. Just like Mount Eerie and The Flaming Lips, Ryland Bouchard has the courage to be ambitious and controversial. For the real connoisseurs.

1. Ryland Bouchard – Climb to the top

Doors: 20:00
Damage: 6 Euro

LE GUESS WHO pre PARTY w/ CLUES (unicorns/arcade fire) for FREE.

The nice people of the Le Guess Who festival asked us to participate in this years edition of the potentially best indoor festival in Holland. And so we do! Not only will we curate a venue during the festival it self, but we will also be hosting the PRE-PARTY. So we’ve booked Clues (the new with Unicorns front man Alden Penner and Brendan Reed of Arcade Fire) to create awesomess. And since we are so desperately desperate for people to like us, we’ve decided that all of you are welcome. For Free!! Jeez!

(the rest is in Dutch, excuser-nous)

In 2007 begon Unicorns frontman Alden Penner samen met Brendan Reed van Arcade Fire een nieuwe band. Het resultaat ‘Clues’ lijkt tot op heden het best bewaarde geheim uit Montreal. Vorig jaar speelden ze zonder debuutplaat op LGW, dit jaar warmen ze het het festijn op met hun overweldigende debuut op zak. Verwacht indringende indierock die refereert naar post-punk en experimentele popmuziek. Na afloop: Vette Analoge Fuif met o.a. DJ Wiekes en omdat Beep! Beep Back up the truck dit zo tof vindt, mag iedereen GRATIS naar binnen!

Locatie: dB’s studio, Cartesiusweg 90A, Utrecht

Dinsdag 13 oktober

In september verschijnt het nieuwe album van Part Chimp, genaamd Thriller. Met Michael Jackson heeft dat verder helemaal niets te maken. Laat één letter uit de titel weg en dan dekt hij de lading ook in het Nederlands. Part Chimp platen en optredens zijn HARD. Oorverdovend, maagwandverterend, neushaarverschroeiend hard. Waar Mogwai – op wiens Rock Action label de Part Chimp platen verschijnen – nog al eens de subtiliteit kiest, en rustpunten in het geweld creëert, gooit Part Chimp er gewoon nóg een schep gitaarnoise bovenop. De band wordt al vergeleken met Melvins en Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth en Lightning Bolt. Maar dan harder natuurlijk…. Aanrader!

Part Chimp

Denk Jesus Lizard, Lightning Bolt en toch ook wel Mogwai, de band waar Part Chimp regelmatig mee tourt.

Of course there’s loads more of goodness around that night like Windmill & palloc. Read all about it below!

from dbstudio.nl

Windmill

Origineel huiskamer project van Matthew Thomas Dillon uit Londen dat hoge ogen gooide in de Engelse pers. Psychedelische pop met melancholieke inslag van hoog niveau. Muzikaal verwant aan bands als Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, The Polyphonic Spree en Arcade Fire.

The Black Atlantic

CD PRESENTATIE – the Black Atlantic reisde af naar New York om opnames te maken in het kader van het “In A cabin with” project. Het resultaat verschijnt op de debuut cd die vandaag gepresenteert wordt! Indringende singer-songwriter / indie folk, denk sufjan stevens / great lake swimmers.
myspace

palloc

De indieband Palloc brengt spannende popsongs. Palloc’s debuutalbum ‘A tree in our city’ werd eind 2008 uitgebracht en doet denken aan bands als: lampshade, jeniferever en low!
