Beep! Beep! Presents: Josiah Wolf & Liz Wolf @ Ekko

boudewijn — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:15:52 +0000

It’s time for a little bit of live music boys ‘n girls. We’re proud to present to you Josiah & Liz Wolf performing at the awesome Ekko on November 9. While you read the rest of this post please start the video below first:

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:

The Black Atlantic Dutch club tour

boudewijn — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:41:18 +0000

Last month The Black Atlantic embarked on a great adventure starting in Los Angeles and ending all the way in a Chinese town called Chengdu. In the US the band did plenty of showcases in L.A. and later that week at the worlds biggest showcase festival SXSW in Austin. Right after they flew to Beijing, China to start their first Chinese tour, lasting over two weeks.

Fortunately the band brought along a young filmmaker who documented the trip and is currently locked up in her editing room to make sure we can show the film at the upcoming concerts. As off next week the band will do a series of headliner shows in some great Dutch clubs. Fans at Vera Groningen and Tivoli Utrecht will be treated to an exclusive preview of the Chinese tour documentary.

LE GUESS WHO? pre-party with

CLUES (Montreal, Constellation records)

Clues was founded in the summer of 2007 by Alden Penner (one-half of Unicorns) and Brendan Reed (Endless Forever, Arcade Fire). In 2008, Clues recruited friends Ben Borden, Lisa Gamble, and Nick Scribner from the Montreal art and music scenes.
During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on their extensive collection of instruments and create a hopeful, urgent music that expands Montreal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon, with references to post-punk and experimental music traditions. Clues’ concerts incorporate multiple drummers, a Commodore 64, and an OLPC.

Afterwards people will be dancing to tunes chosen by Utrechts most famous DJ WIEKES

Almost forgot… We are paying so…
It´s FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Beep Beep’s Vette Analoge Shit presents:

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
Datum: Zaterdag 14 november
Zaal open: 20:45 uur
Aanvang: 21:30 uur

V.A.S. 13-10-09; Part Chimp & the Subhuman

boudewijn — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:10:07 +0000

We can’t be stopped! Three Vette Analoge Shit concerts in three weeks to keep you entertaint and out of that house.
This time we’re going for an unconventional tuesdaynight but all is well, cause we’ve booked Part Chimp! Local singersongwriter The Subhuman will open the night and if that’s not enough, he’ll bring a complete band for the occasion and present his 7″ record ‘Sur La Rout‘.

Clickyclick for more info, links and vidssource dB’s:

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.

the Subhuman

utrechtse indiepop-hitmachine presenteert een nieuwe 7″ single!
