OATS
“When was the last time we heard something so chaotic in the Netherlands?” -Never Mind The Hype
“A musical explosive substance that even the best explosive clearance service cannot defuse.” -3voor12 Noord-Holland
“If you are looking to bang your head, get some OATS in your diet immediately.” -Fecking Bahamas.
The world’s raunchiest boy band. Melding the aggression of punk and technical intricacies of jazz, OATS are making their mark with an emotional and hard-hitting live act. Luscious chords and theatrical vocals go alongside earth-shaking bass and virtuosic drums. Their refreshing blend of genres such as emo, math rock and experimental hip hop ensure a passionate performance not to be missed. The band have been selected for Great September 2023, Popronde 2023 as NMTH talent and played at Complexity Fest 2023.

shoom
Instrumental five piece shoom emerged in early 2022 and made their debut in the Groningen
music scene with an intimate living room concert. After playing support for the legendary
band Battles the same year, performing at showcase festival ESNS and delivering a tight
performance in VERA downstage during a sold-out EP release show, shoom achieved a top
10 position in 3voor12’s ‘Het Beste van Groningse Bodem’ 2023 with their single Birds.
With their loud, swinging guitars, poignant saxophone solos, and subtle rhythms, shoom
showcases influences from all corners of music, ranging from black midi to John Coltrane
and from MF DOOM to British neo-jazz.

Octopus
Octopus is a maniacal four-piece psychedelic garage rock band, straight from the Dutch underground. Their live shows are a hysterical experience, influenced by 60’s psychedelic, new-wave and punk. With songs about addictions, obsessions and SM, they create a recipe for a brilliant disaster. Octopus is a rage against mediocrity that comforts the troubled and troubles the comfortable.
