While the origin of the music is certainly pitched at myself, once it grows into something that exists as a recording and I’m performing it live in front of an audience I definitely feel like it has transformed.

Sven Agaath – Simple Field Calculator
…listening to King of Heart Attacks and Senseless Trips, you suspect the big joke Sven Agaath plays on us is to make us listen to a messy, bedroom take on Richie Blackmore or Kiss.
The Homesick – Twst yr Wrsts
This is a brilliant pop release, driven by boredom, daydreams, living in a cut n paste Dutch town, and enlivened by a sort of home-brewed sound that is inspiringly, bullishly, tinny and processed.

André de Saint-Obin – Sound On Sound
But otherwise Sound on Sound sounds as current as something by the Wanda Group or Lee Noble.

Popronde Haarlem 11/9/2014
I tell you now; if Yuko Yuko ever got managed or advised by someone from Entertainment Land here in the Netherlands, they’d be fucked. Fucked. I’m tempted to go and dig up Tony Wilson and say, “come on love, one more time.”

Nouveau Velo – Nouveau Velo
Their ultimate gift to us is their ability to make music that pulls away at the odd loose thread in the settled pattern of Dutch life. You won’t really notice it at first listen but they do.

Incubate 2014 – Day 2 Friday 19/09/14
It’s interesting watching people watch a Cosmic Dead gig, too. For sure there are those who participate in the band’s hyperactive onstage frenzies. But there are many who seem to slip away in a trance, and sit or sway whilst staring into space.

Incubate 2014 – Day 4 Sunday 21/09/14
This was a boatload of Dutch Long Hairs and Sonic Vandals brought together by the lads from Dead Neanderthals. Lined up in two banks of four they proceeded to question time itself by nailing their demands on the gates of the Underworld.
