mutha flac (su) + frankie teardrop + mo wrights

A raw, high-energy collision between two worlds: the synth-punk pulse of FRANKIE TEARDROP and the unfiltered punk intensity of MUTHA FLAC (SU)

February 2026 marks a unique collaboration between two DIY powerhouses, uniting across continents to tear down stages and connect underground scenes from Paramaribo to Amsterdam. This double-headline run fuses satirical Dutch synth chaos with tropical Surinamese punk a cross-cultural exchange of noise, irony, and heart, starting after the IFFR 2026 closing date (Feb 8) and riding the wave of
Tra Fasi’s premiere buzz plus FRANKIE TEARDROP’s January EP ‘Boxcutter’ launch.

Formed in 2019, Mutha Flac is the only punk rock band emerging from the tropical city of Paramaribo, Suriname. Born from the ashes of hardcore band Skafu, we blend fast-paced riffs, straightforward hammering drums, and reflections on identity, corruption, and youth rebellion, embodying the raw DIY spirit of Suriname’s underground alternative scene. Recent single “Guillotine” (Oct 3, 2025, Beerput Records) reignited our presence with a follow-up to early releases that turned heads in South American and Dutch punk circles.

Lineup:
· Shavero Ferrier – Vocals/Guitar (Tra Fasi star, multi-project force)
· Regillio Padma (Norry) – Bass
· Jonothan Djojo (Jon) – Drums
· Timothy Jong A Lock (Tim) – Guitar (joined 2025)

Featured in the upcoming documentary Tra Fasi, selected at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2026 — the film spotlights the alternative punk scene in Suriname and follows lead singer Shavero Ferrier’s journey with his band. Revu+3We Are Public+3Melkweg+3

FRANKIE TEARDROP

A synth-punk phenomenon from Zaandam,  the Netherlands, formed by Lucas de Gier and Duncan Vet. FRANKIE TEARDROP channels disbelief and frustration into sharp, satirical bursts of sound. Their music is loud, humorous, and cynical, reflecting the absurdity of modern life.

This isn’t just a musical alliance. It’s a vital cultural bridge. In a world where punk is too often framed as a Western export, this connection proves the genre thrives in overlooked corners like Paramaribo, where kids build scenes from nothing. Lucas and Shavero’s friendship and shared work represent a two-way exchange: Dutch technical know-how meets Surinamese raw defiance, creating a model for global DIY solidarity. It’s proof that punk isn’t owned by any one culture, it’s a language of resistance that travels, adapts, and grows stronger through collaboration. This tour is the next chapter: not just shows, but a statement that underground music belongs everywhere.

MO WRIGHTS channels the soul in his veins through narrative-driven mixes and productions
blending the young with the old, the clean with the dirty and affixing the riddim with the
radiance of balmy jazz chords.

A Jazz cat by nature, House head by trade and music lover at heart, Mo Wrights is a
producer, DJ, curator and co-founder of the Amsterdam-based music platform Steppin’ Into
Tomorrow. His deep appreciation for and knowledge of music (culture) radiates through
narrative-driven mixes and productions. He centralises story and narrative; genres are just
chapters which, when taken together, are greater than the sum of their parts. Don’t act
surprised if the energy on a dancefloor pulsates the same rhythm while the rhythm of the
record traverses from House gems to Broken Beat, from Rap to Jazz-Funk, Punjabi Garage
or Chutney-Soca and from Future Beats to Jazz Rave.

Mo seeks connections through music. Without any family or like minds guiding his taste, he
was destined to explore by himself. Early piano lessons planted the seed in him to branch
out and grow, connecting him to Acid Jazz and Hip-Hop. Later, he matured in the clubs of
Amsterdam and so House music is the focal point of Mo’s musical landscape. Not the genre,
but as a timeless spirit accompanying him in the studio, in the booths of Amsterdam clubs,
and when he’s on the dance floor himself.
Mo frequently plays Dutch clubs such as Doka and De School and festivals like Lago Lago
and Lowlands. Beyond Dutch borders, he’s played in Bali and Manchester. Mo graced
various international radio stations such as WorldWide FM, 1BTN, and Kiosk Radio. His
releases on Wicked Wax, GLXY Records and Super Sonic Jazz illustrate the tapestry of
styles in his arsenal to relay stories, felt by others across the world enticed by his signature
soulful sound.
Beyond the booth and the studio, he curates club nights and release parties, writes about
local artists and moderates panels stimulating grassroots collaborations. He interviewed
figures such as Larry Heard, Terry Hunter, Octave One and Lynee Denise. Insights about
music’s cultural history and his experience with digitally archiving these records are at the
junction of Mo’s research interest as a cultural analyst.
