Che Chen (us)

Che Chen est un multi-instrumentiste new-yorkais auquel on doit les riffs de guitare éminemment complexes de 75 Dollar Bill. Il est également passé maître dans l’art des improvisations acoustiques extrêmement subtiles et a collaboré entre autres avec Tetuzi Akiyama, Robbie Lee et Chie Mukai.

Timeless Reality (dk)

Qu’elle le veuille ou non, l’avenir de la musique est au garage rock farouche, désordonné et psychédélique, là où s’arrête la Bay Area et où commence l’underground danois. On l’appellera New Rock Radicalism. Timeless Reality en est à l’avant-garde. Ce power trio danois est le nouveau groupe de Nicolaus Kauffmann et Sara C. Czerny, le duo au cœur du sous-estimé Family Underground.

Yeah You (uk)

Vimeo meme and unlikely duo underground duo from Newcastle. With crappy synths and vocal processor they produce their own unique blend of outsider pop music. The world is there stage, as they express through their perfomances the need that music has be among us, not on an isolated stage in a closed club. Demented avant pop, post-internet lyricism and naive jams dance with eachother in the weird universe of Mylk Jaxn and Elvin Brandhi.

Volmacht (be)

The new brainchild of Dennis Tyfus and Floris Vanhoof. Angry and grandiose music from the place where a rural synaesthesia poet and a urban collage artist meet eachother.

Ilta Hämärä (be)

Clash of two Belgian underground titans, at one side Bart 'Father Sloow' De Paepe, at the other Timo Van Luijk. Sloow is the head honcho of the legendary tape label Sloow Records, and will present a retrospective book at the festival. Timo Van Luijk is known for his labels Metaphon and La Scie Dorée, and makes hypersensitive sound collages as Af Ursin. Together they will kick the Belgian Weird Psych its ass.

DJ Kerm (be)

Ghentish strong force in its cassette-based underground. Mixes crappy acid, hair metal and sound collages with a firm hand.

Expo Sloow Tapes

Sloow tapes becomes ten years old. To celebrate this, Father Sloow is not only playing at the festival, but he also presents an expo and a book! The expo runs throughout the 3 days of the festival.
