Rockcity dead? Don't think so! Meet Baklawai. Hard riffs, bawdy bass runs and tight fills is what these guys stand for! Hard and clunky, with influences from hard rock, psycedelic-stoner and punk. Three guys who accelerate and party like it's the last day of the world. The hangover is inevitable!

Goold old rawk from Eindje!

With over 100 shows in France, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands to their credit, the Frisian Insurrection has long been a household name in the Dutch underground scene. Insurrection played with metal icons such as King Diamond, Hypocrisy, Destruction, Cryptopsy etc. and previously did shows at Into The Grave and Waldrock. Last year they released their 2nd release 'Circles Of Despair', produced by none other than Fredrik Nordstrom (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir a.o.) and received rave reviews by the international metal press. That deserves an invitation for another heavy The Sessions.


Frisian metalheads insurrect.

The duo Tres Navy, consisting of Jimmy & Rose, make female-friendly, urban- hip-hop, party and R&B anthems. The name Tres Navy represents the place where they grew up and the brotherly connection.

The indie-ambient-punk band Socks;SportSocks from Rotterdam sings about the ironic existence of a twenty-something anno now. The band released their very first EP called 'People singing about people' in 2020, the funniest music year ever. These songs were recorded entirely by the band and produced in the band members' various bedrooms. According to some, the band sounds like a combination of Mac DeMarco and dEUS, but still mostly like themselves. They are playing the Popronde this year and 3voor12 selected them as 3voor12 Popronde Talent. Keep an eye on this band and they will keep an eye on you.

Liquidation A.D. is a Dutch metal band inspired by bands like Entombed, Dismember and Bloodbath. Old school death metal mixed with modern death metal influences, not to mention the classic Boss HM-2 chainsaw guitar sound. Old slasher horror movies from the 80s inspire the band for their lyrics. 

Prepare for chainsaw violence!

The bottomless melancholy you experience when life pulls you down relentlessly in contrast to the lush bliss of euphoria are two feelings of similar magnitude. The music of FUMAGE takes you to these extremes. Three musicians who have been immersed in all types of music all their lives met on a pan-European project and decided to step off the beaten path to create a new sonic landscape.

FUMAGE consists of Pol Belardi (LUX) - multi-instrumentalist who plays drums, synths/bass and sings second voice -, Yuri Rhodenborgh (me, NL) - vocals, guitar and keys - and Angelo Boltini (NL) - live electronics geek, synths, bass guitar and second voice.

Bloedkoker is a  four-headed Dutch squat punk band from Eindhoven. Their violent style is a nice mix of punk, hardcore, metal, and grindcore. Songs about everyday annoyances like getting your dick stuck in a zipper, crazy conspiracy people, and more. This band is not afraid to take it to the edge, better yet, they completely jump over it. Extremities must be reached and EVERYTHING is allowed. With such classics as "Haat aan quarantaine" "Kutcentjes" "Lul in de rits" and "Maak de overheid kapot", Bloedkoker guarrantees an evening filled to the brim with brutal aggression.

This band doesn't seek the edge, they jump over it.

"Even if it doesn't work out, it will work out" says Massi (Sam Raaijmakers, 1992). The rapper/songwriter knows what he is talking about. He comes from far and has worked hard to be where he is today, as Samen Alleen proves. His debut album is more than a hip hop album with influences from trip hop, jazzy soul and roots rock. Together Alone is a story of hope and continuing to believe in yourself. Music gives Massi hope. With his soulful, autobiographical music he wants to share this feeling with his listeners. As inspiration, as support, as reassurance, for difficult periods. Because that's what music has done for him.

Soulful autobiographical hip hop.

A splendid portion of punky rock 'n roll, that's what the Amsterdam trio Bad Penny will bring us at The Sessions. Singer Sofie also adds some shoegaze here and there and the alto party is complete. Never Mind the Hype wrote earlier that 'the video/single Gray T-Shirt (2019) is, in terms of feel and looks, completely Colleen Green meets Supergrass' and we completely agree. As far as we're concerned, the impulsive Bad Penny shows great promise, as does their Session on June 20!

Mouflon hails from Arnhem's tight metal scene and is named after the wild sheep that still originates in the Veluwe. The band members decided to make delicious 90s old-school death metal in 2012 and after three demos, this led to the widely acclaimed debut Devastations in 2018. Brace yourself for a solid blow to your kisses, because once this four-piece band gets going, only a concrete wall can stop this up-and-coming ram.

This final concert is a veritable audiovisual spectacle. Light design collective Blauwe Uur supports the magistral music by Beethoven, Busoni and Wagemans, played by all members of Amsterdam Sinfonietta, with Serbian pianist Tamara Stefanovich. Beethovens Grosse Fuge and his Cavatina are contrasting works, and both regarded among his most visionary compositions. Dutch composer Peter-Jan Wagemans writes of his ‘Three Butterfly Dances’ – composed especially for Amsterdam Sinfonietta – that it betrays his fondness of the colours and grace of different kinds of butterflies. Busoni wrote his Piano Concerto at age 12. The dynamics and everchanging melodies are not unlike the musical genius of Mozart.

Amsterdam Sinfonietta has started a series of music videos, to bring classical music to the screen in new and exciting ways. Today, they premiere the latest installment ‘Tango’, a film by video artists Maarten Corbijn and Georgios Rietveld. The music is by famous tango-composer Astor Piazzolla. Corbijn and Rietveld incorporated a renowned dancing couple in their video, and used the beautiful vista’s in Zeeland as a décor.

Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the Grote Kerk Veere present: the Sinfonietta String Festival Zeeland 2021! On June 6th, in cooperation with the Zeeuwse Concertzaal, the festival will stream three events during the day, including a première of a new music video.

This concert was recorded in the Zeeuwse Muziekzaal in Middelburg, with the Serbian pianist Tamara Stefanovich. The programme revolves around the chamber music of the well-known German composer Gustav Mahler. His piano quartet from 1876 is his only instrumental chamber music work. Musical sketches he had not used, were an inspiration for Alfred Schnittke’s own music. Mahlers contemporary – and good friend – Richard Strauss wrote the beautiful Metamorphosen for string orchestra. Amsterdam Sinfonietta plays the much-loved arrangement for string septet.

Music is a form of therapy, according to the young talent that sings, raps, and produces himself. His music is all about peace, love, and freedom mixed in a taste of pop, trap, hip-hop, and indie. You experience the purest form of his thoughts and feelings on an Oasis track. Oase derives his inspiration mainly from older music, as Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder (Grunge) are names that inspire him very much.

These guys from Tilburg are not of the small gesture. Thick groove and clunky mosh is what they stand for. Subtlety is hard to find, but it all comes from a good heart. Or as they say themselves "We stomp your teeth without stealing your wallet. Stream on, wear a bit and mosh in that living room!

KAFKA is the band of Dafne Holtland and Frank van Kasteren, a fusion of musical opposites. What does that sound like? Cheerful and thoughtful. Sometimes bombastically melodic, then layered, soft and modest. Kafkaesque tension, followed by the harmonic conclusions you hope for. With a languid raw undertone - rhythmic, digging and exhilarating.

T-Shawn, is a multidimensional artist, focused on creating soulful music and colorful concepts including his clothing line. Born in the Netherlands and with a Bangladeshi/Filipino background, T-Shawn has had many external influences that have led to his current sound. Inspired by funk, soul and electronic music, he now makes mostly mellow, soul music. Now that he has found his sound, he wants to show the world what he is capable of as an artist.

That's how Lifelong from Arnhem describes the doom/slug metal with hardcore influences that the band makes. After years of playing in hardcore bands (New Morality/Strike First/Cornered), these 6 individuals decided to slow down their riffs and rip off their old skin. Frightening, exhausting, exhilarating and destroying everything in their path. Riffs thick as smoke, slow, painful, heavy and drenched in filth. The dark side of the blues gone wrong.

Roy Lobbezoo, born and raised in Bergen op Zoom, started producing at the age of ten and also quickly developed himself as a DJ in the progessive house scene.

Broken Brass is next level brass music. Energetic and explosive. They mix the infectious brass sound with the flow of hip-hop, the drive of electro-punk and the energy of rock 'n' roll. 'Guitars go to 10, horns go to 11!' During this club tour they present New Zealand singer and trombonist Isaac McCluskey. Known from Knars(etand) and Roots Rising, among others. On stage, his rocknroll mentality will make the edge of - the 9-man strong - Broken Brass a dangerous lot sharper.

Straight from the Anna (Antwerp) are the Little Crack & Slagter. Together they come up with a unique sound of dark Memphis-Rap like tunes in Flemish. They have been around for a long time in the Belgian scene under the collective VHS. However, last year Kleine Crack joined Faberyayo's label; Burning Fik. With this, he is also kicking open a lot of doors here in the Netherlands.

The melodic metalcore formation Born From Chaos has Hilversum roots, but also a clear link to Eindhoven. A number of band members study here at the only real metal school in the Netherlands, The Metal Factory. Recently the six of them released their first EP 'Legacy'. On it we hear four tracks with a strong interaction between the two singers, where the one-two punch between male and female vocals sometimes remind us of the duo of Lacona Coil. They describe their style as hard, melodic, yet sensitive and easy going.

Holland’s Gomer Pyle have caused quite a stir with their album “Idiots Savants” and stunning live performances. Firmly rooted in Grunge and Stoner, the band tends also to veer off into heavy rocking jamming psychedelia and full blown Krautrock territory. Deep space liquid trip guitars and killer riffs lead the way as they travel roads paved by acid drenched rock and old time psych. Things get rhythmically cosmic, keeping a nice rolling groove going as the dual, heavy fuzz guitars and drums explore the cosmos in a high intensity workout. New album ‘Before I Die I…’ is out now.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Everything in this world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. "It is precisely this contrast that Belle and The Beats explores on stage.

They operate within the spectrum of love and sexuality and with their musical diversity, symbolic visuals and sensual movements, the two provide compelling and poetic tracks.

2020 started well for Leif de Leeuw band. Leif de Leeuw was named best Bluesrock guitarist of the Benelux for the 5th time by the readers of De Gitarist. Singer/guitarist Sem Jansen became the winner of music program 'Hit the Road' and the new album 'Where we're Heading' was also very well received. High time to promote that new record with a series of shows! The multi-award winning guitarist Leif de Leeuw and his six-piece band are Europe's new southern jam band sensation. Leif de Leeuw band has a completely new sound, not only because of the changed voice of Sem Jansen but also because the band now plays with 2 drummers and a keyboardist. The band distinguishes itself with its breathtaking guitar solos, two grooving drummers and twin-leads. Improvised jams make each show unique. In their own music, they continue the tradition of bands like Little Feat, Allman Brothers Band and Derek and the Dominos.

Over the years, both the sound and the line-up of Savage Beat evolved, but punk rock and power pop still predominate, supplemented with garage and a touch of glam. With their new five-track "New World", the Savage Beat gentlemen have two feet in the bizarre now. The accompanying frustration had to be removed and that will be no different during their Session on April 12. Especially now that they bring none other than Tony Slug and Medhi Maddog Tallal with them for guest appearances.

We then saw Celine perform at DWDD, she won the Zilveren Notekraker in 2017 and built up a solid fan base. Her distinctive voice did not go unnoticed online either; her songs have been streamed over 14 million times and used in various series. In 2018, Celine presented the acoustic album The Hector Sessions in the Concertgebouw, after which she left for London. Since then she has been working on her new album, which is expected sometime in the coming months. First single 'Bird Song' will certainly not be missing, but we keep our fingers crossed that Celine Cario will give us another tip of the veil during her Session on April 5 in the Effenaar!

Fans of Nick Cave and Iceage can get ready for a stream from a band that is rock solid and dripping with energy and soothing noise eruptions. At The Sessions Countdown, Dripping Trees reached the 9th position and the Eindhoven quartet loves to come to our Effenaar again!

Dripping Trees opts for a compelling sound overflowing with fire and sulfur dynamics, noise and narrative imagination. The upcoming debut Fuel Of Mankind explores an environment of lawlessness where terms like "truth" and "order" are just part of a simulation. The sinister forays into post-rock and slowcore receive a cold bucket of farcical computer interludes, in which the band essentially questions all emotions within their own work. Dripping Trees brings up all kinds of feelings: their music can be beautiful, erotic, absurd and scary at the same time. We are looking forward to!

#202: DRIPPING TREES

The Eindhoven eclectic act around Rob Cornelissen, or Why Tony, normally brings a cocktail of blues, grunge and dreamy melodies. There are now three albums on the shelf and although the piano is not new to the band, it only played a central role on 'Side A', which was released last January. In addition to own compositions, this album also contains instrumental interpretations of Muse, Mozes and the Firstborn, Aidan & the Wild and none other than composer / pianist Frédéric Chopin. In the fall Why Tony hopes to be able to play (and drink!) their familiar cocktail again, but we are happy that he will first be playing an integral version of Side A on the now famous Eindhoven station piano!

From compelling to raw, the voice of rapper and singer Raw Roets - Cyrano Kout - is one of the most unique in modern Dutch music. Roets is a thoroughbred artist who effortlessly alternates between two extremes; the rougher Roets and the softer Cyrano. In his music he openly searches for himself and reflects on his sometimes gray surroundings while dreaming colorfully. His sound is characterized by honest and compelling lyrics to musical and spatial productions. We look forward to his Hiphop Session on Tuesday March 9 in our Effenaar!

The Sessions: Ross Curry
Monday March 1 is the day you can write down; then we welcome Ross Curry to our Sessions! On November 20, his much-played song "Last Days" saw the light of day and earlier this year, among others, "Most Beautiful" and the hit single "Wake Up Dead". And that after a long silence around the frontman of the 90's rock trio Spo Dee O Dee from Amsterdam. Solo, Curry records the critically acclaimed Britpop album "Doolally" in 1996 under the name "Shamus", with influences from The Beatles, Oasis and Paul Weller. After several successful tribute projects and participation in the rock opera "Ren Lenny Ren", he released his last self-financed album in 2005. We are eagerly looking forward to his new record and his performance in the Effenaar!

The station piano in Eindhoven released many emotions last week. Rioters severely hammered the original piano, rendering it virtually useless. A video of the morning after the riots in which Eindhoven resident David Hordijk still managed to play the piano, was extensively circulated on social media. After a campaign by a few entrepreneurs, a new piano was already in the station hall after two days.

“The station piano has become a symbol of hope,” says Hordijk. He is happy with the new piano. "There is more volume, so you can add more dynamics and feeling to your playing." It inspired him to organize this online concert together with The Sessions and NS, in which he will play his own work. “Playing for people is what I love to do the most. We live in a fast time with so many stimuli. When I make music, I forget the issues of the day, I forget everything around me and the only thing that remains: The music. That feeling. That's what I want to give people. "
