Earth Control (Groningen, Electro Punk)

Imagine Herry Merry and Quintron in a head-on car crash with Suicide, just outside Groningen, Holland. That picture in your head still does not sound like this great band. They sing in dutch with a dark humorous twist. Lyrics about their brand new Nike’s, the constantly evolving image culture, the digital freeway and calls to each other about missed rehearsal dates.

Movoco (Belgium, Shoegaze – Indie)

Barnaby Bennett is a musician from Calgary with a prolific track record of late. His catalog is a deep, genre-hopping body of work that is full of forays into everything from traditional folk, psychedelic pop, country rock, to experimental synthesizer music. He has played shows all over North America & Europe, and shared the stage with the likes of Sonic Boom, Prince Rama, Blitzen Trapper, Sun Araw, BRAIDS and more. He has made music alongside Damo Suzuki, Julia Holter, Amos Garrett & P.F. Sloan. Barnaby is an exciting & refreshing performer who is fully engaged with the sounds & technology of today, while consistently pointing back to the rich musical past from which he draws inspiration.

Exhibition in AWA gallery: Nienke Doekes graduated at fotoacademie Amsterdam and now photographs for Gonzo (Circus) magazine amongst other things. Her work can be described as raw, narrative and peculiar.
