The Groningen mermaid with a ukulele. With a ukulele, many people have the idea that you can only play sweet love songs on it. Nothing could be further from the truth. Welcome to the ukulele violence of Janne Meermin. Satirical, sharp, recognizable and sometimes folk / pop / punk like songs with a touch of magic.
14th of November: Michel and the Bluesmachine
Michel and the Bluesmachine is a band that started with the musicians meeting at the Thursday blues-rockjam. On account of a deeper connection that each of us felt when playing together during the years we decided to form a band. Best decision yet!
Our own arrangements range from classical sounding bluestracks, spiced up with some additional material, to full-fledged rock with influences from Black Sabbath, Hendrix and many more. All songs are played while being in an organic flow; nothing is fixed and thus suited for many atmospheres and venues. We adapt, without being overly compromising. We confront, without putting it on too thick.
Being that this band is in an relatively early stage, we can’t provide any material to listen to in advance, but be sure to keep an eye out for us!
Doors open 20:00, cold beer stocked, and no entrance fee! See you then!
29th of November: The Roughneck Riot (UK)
FOLKPUNK TUESDAY!
Roughneck have been hammering the roads in UK and mainland Europe since their inception, earning a reputation as a hard-working and well travelled live tour de force. Staunchly anti-fascist and anti-dickhead, the motive of internationalist solidarity is needed more than ever. After a spell of recording and recuperating, and a further enforced spell of quarantine, Roughneck Riot are restless and snapping at the ankles. Older and more prone to tiredness, but spurred on by constant irritation.
see ya at the show
Doors: 20:30
