The SOTU is a five day festival in Amsterdam, which is happening 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 May 2013 in a collaboration between venues OCCII, OT301 and Vondelbunker. On the 5th of May we collaborate with the Doek Festival on a night in the Vondelbunker. In 2012 we celebrated a succesfull first edition with around 90 acts and performances over 4 locations. The festival concentrates on alternative and independent music culture with noise, indie rock, psychedelia, avant-garde, bass music, improv jazz and underground dance. Also included within the program are documentaries, workshops, art and performances. This second edition is realized thanks to the dedication and contributions from 25 organizations, collectives and curators.

curators Stichting dOeK & Toztizok Zounds present:
PQ + CHOCOLAT BILLY (FR) + DENNIS TYFUS (BE), ROGIER SMAL & NORA MULDER TRIO + EKE (Gerri Jaeger (AT), Oscar Jan Hoogland, Yedo Gibson (BR)) + LE CERCLE DES MALLISSIMALISTES (FR) + DJ BUSHDOOF (AUS)

DENNIS TYFUS
Dennis Tyfus does way too many things. Seriously. Apart from being an Antwerpian visual artist, he runs the Ultra Eczema label, and it’s in this this junction of media that we meet up with him. At SOTU, he’ll perform his unique brand of noisy audio-collages, stitching together drones, found sounds and whatever else he’s into at the moment. Exclusive performance together with Roro & Nora Mulder.
LE CERCLE DES MALLISSIMALISTES
Le Cercle de Mallissimalistes is a side project of two bandmembers from Chocolat Billy, plus two other musicians. The music they play can be described as a free improvisation within spaced out progressive rock. Like Chocolat billy, this group forms a combination of musicians that can create a hypnotic atmosphere with their liveshows.
