ZA.17.12. /// beat /// 21:00 € 8 THE KIK + THE KEEFMEN Muzikaal gezien kan The Kik voortborduren op een prima staat van dienst. In een zeer kort tijdsbestek hebben de heren al de nodige nummers geschreven. In januari van dit jaar was hun eerste jamsessie en in mei stonden My Eyes Are Dry en Still Hoping al bij Excelsior Recordings in de schappen. Nu met heuse kerstsingle!
DO.08.12 /// indie /// 20:00 € 8 LOOK MEXICO (US) + MALADROIT (FR) + THE FUSE Whether they are belting out explosive ballads, acoustic tunes, or edgy math-rock songs, Look Mexico succeed. Surprisingly, they have remained relatively under the radar, but To Bed To Battle, is bound to push them more towards the forefront of the indie scene. From start to finish, the cohesive yet very dynamic and compelling To Bed To Battle demonstrates exceptional songwriting skills, intricate instrumentation, and profound lyrics make forimpressive follow up to much adored Gasp Asp EP indeed.

MA.12.12 /// noise-indie-punk /// 20:00 € 9 THE MEN + ADOLF BUTLER + SEX DRIVE Having three songwriters in the band allows them to pull from innumerable post punk sources, referencing drone, metal, shoegaze, and even Spaceman 3 lyrics on Leave Home. Recording to tape for the first time here, using elements of distortion, feedback, pop hooks, and a couple of beautifully destructive instrumental passages,The Men have been described by Mishka as, “more composers than musicians.” They have breathed new life into the genre of hardcore and created a seminal album that is truly for punks of all ages. Look for them on tour this summer.
