Girl Band

19 June

After a riotous performance in January, demonic Dublin post-punks Girl Band return to Amsterdam and the Subbacultcha! roster. Since, their untitled 2014 EP has boasted a pair of thrilling monstrosities to prove there’s more boundary-smashing in store for these unwavering iconoclasts.

After a riotous performance in January, demonic Dublin post-punks Girl Band return to Amsterdam and the Subbacultcha! roster. Back then they’d already scored acclaim from the likes of The Guardian for managing to cut through the banal dross of contemporary rock with their searing guitar effects and tightly focused aggression. Their cover of horror-techno DJ Blawan’s ‘Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage’ had already proved their rare grasp of musics both modern and post-punk period. Since, their untitled 2014 EP (available for free download below) has boasted a pair of thrilling monstrosities to prove there’s more boundary-smashing in store for these unwavering iconoclasts.

Those Foreign Kids are another high threshold weapon in Haarlem indie label Geertruida’s arsenal. The duo more than compensate for their numbers with gargantuan punk punches carrying the weight of giants, and the more impactive after the false sense of security given by their beguilingly soft mid-sections. Ouch.

Labelmates Bismuth spare a band member in Yuri Landman, who also happens to be a world-famous maker of experimental stringed instruments (for Liars, Sonic Youth, Micachu and more), musicology lecturer and leader of his own eponymous ensemble. He’ll join Those Foreign Kids in a special collaboration for this show.
