Faalfest
Four bands from the Dutch underground selected by Systeemfalen
On Thursday 14 August Systeemfalen takes over Rotown again for FAALFEST Part II: an evening full of uncompromising punk, hardcore and everything that grinds between them. The line-up features Knife Massage, Rotterdam lo-fi punknoise with psychedelic influences and a wall of fuzz, The Etters, idiosyncratic and raw Rotterdam punk with a healthy dose of humor and attitude, Systeemfalen, a mix of hardcore punk and grooving sludge, and Uitzendbureau, very hard hardcore punk from Amsterdam full of brute energy and socially critical lyrics. In short: an evening full of mosh pits, shredding guitars and sweaty punk.
Systeemfalen: @systeemfalen.rotterdam
Systeemfalen plays a mix of hardcore punk and grooving sludge. Something like that, anyway. Frontman Jeroen and his band ask no questions: they just show up and blow the place away. Looking for the next Rotterdam sensation? Found.
Knife Massage: @knifemassage010
A lo-fi guitar battle that completely goes off the rails and takes you to a psychedelic moon landing. The rebellious instrumentation results in a raw mix of punk, garage and loads of fuzz, until the guitars get lost in the rocky path they have created themselves. Beautiful punk noise from Rotterdam. Rotterdam legends!
The Etters: @the.etters
Punk with two pussies and one dick. Loena plays bass, Keet drums and Sjerrie plays guitar. They take turns singing a song. Bye!
Uitzendbureau: @uitzendbureau_
UITZENDBUREAU is a loud, eight-armed hardcore band from Amsterdam: a brutal explosion of energy and hardcore punk of Dutch origin. Expect unfiltered, uncompromising noise music with screams about the king, dystopia and the establishment.
