Cheerio!

Correct us if we’re wrong, but we seems to be really good at this! Thao taught us some serious songwriting skills not to mention fingerpicking! Still psyched, we are heading towards the next edition of Vette Analoge Shit with Railcars, Neon Rainbows and Eklin. Do your homework!

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!

One of our favorite venues here in our beautifull lil’ hometown Utrecht could get in some serious trouble since the city’s planning on cutting down their funding. As always, there’s quite a backstory attached to this plan and to be honest, things are smelling a bit fishy. Read all about it at 3voor12.
Over the years Utrecht has developed a healthy and diverse musicscene and Tivoli played a major part in this. Please show your support for this great venue and sign the partition they’ve opened on their site.

Last friday we were all about Brooklyn garage, ’80s inspired Manchester pop and loud indie-rock. We served it, you gulped it down greedily like Ozzy getting his first pint of the day (still lingering in the 80s here). O, good times, good times. But you can’t go about doing that stuff every weekend. A little balance is needed. And on that  note Beep! Beep! and Lo-Friday present to you an acoustic show next friday, 6th of march, in De Kargadoor, Utrecht.
We got some special names lined up for you. Come and see. Read the rest of this entry »
