Bands:

TEMPLO DIEZ

Templo Diez, the Dutch veterans mixing a gothic blend of rock, dream pop and Americana, are back after a 4-year sabbatical. With renewed inspiration drawing from real life, chance reads and vintage road movies, they are currently putting the finishing touch to their new (seventh!) album , exploring the favourite Templo Diez tropes (flailing hopes, waves at night, loss and undying love, soft-spoken elegies and endless roads) in 9 tracks intended as sonic short-movies.

Over the years, raving reviews resulted in an invitation for the prestigious show case festival SXSW in Austin, Texas and regular gigs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Belgium and Spain, including festivals such as CMJ (New York), NXNE (Toronto) and CMW (Montreal). In their home country, they played at major events such as Crossing Border or Motel Mozaïque, but also thrive in intimate performances in smaller clubs and galleries, sometimes swapping their reverb-laden electric sound for a more acoustic approach, when the right stars are aligned.

VIPER MAD

Light the Way is the key song on Viper Mad's new album, which will be presented tonight in Hall 100.

Viper Mad is a collective that has been playing together in various line-ups since 2018.

A catchy cocktail (…) of indie rock, dub, coolwave, jazz and even afrobeat. It produces a strong and consistent yet varied whole, with various instant classics that never let go and get deep under your skin, wrote Jan-Willem Broek, Subjectivists https://subjectivisten.nl/nnm-viper-mad-first/

LABASHEEDA

Labasheeda is an idiosyncratic rocktrio from Amsterdam. Tying together two decades of adventurous, sound-evolving albums and changing lineups, Labasheeda’s music has a penchant for concise, stripped down melodies, and quick switches from spacious bass lines and drums to heavy, chaotic, and sometimes anthemic guitar driven songs. The unorthodox use of violin, the often deviating time signatures and Saskia van der Giessen’s distinctive voice give the band its unique sound.

In November 2023 Labasheeda released its sixth full-length album Blueprints, which has been has been described as an innovative post-punk masterpiece by the international press.

“It’s just at the point where rock and roll tips over into noise, where melody turns into sonic soundscaping and where song structure becomes untethered and unruly, that you find Labasheeda”
(The Big Take Over magazine)
