How to beat that? Well, despite playing to a rapidly emptying room (due mainly to people anxious about getting trains); Spoelstra gives a performance of wit and bravura, drawing from his great LP The Almighty Internet,  as well as snatches from his EP and recent cassette release (a work which is encased in a strange book about his obsession with pallets). Those who hung around were smitten with both his music – a heady mix of glitchcore and bastardised alt.country – and his showmanship. This is a gregarious man who grins through his gigs, and expects you to as well; and he has a happy knack of making his act (which is really just a great deal of delay pedal pressing) look a lot of fun. Maybe it’s his silly crab-like walk which breaks out every time he uses his guitar. Whatever, what’s left of the crowd gives him a great and deserved reception.

Zes bands op één avond: de mensen van het platenlabel Narrominded houden van volle avonden. Dat betekent: je overgeven aan de herfst- en wintercollectie van een van de fijnere vaderlandse huizen qua hedendaagse muziek.

Following that a complete change: Katadreuffe. I had been told by them that their new songs sounded way different. They were wondering what people would think. Well, to be honest they were different, but not as radical as I’d been warned to expect. The old dense sound is still present; the singing is still gnomic in the extreme. The wall of sound still batters the audience – so much so that some people still just cannot take a whole set from this band.  What is new – and really great -is the intensity and scope of the music, it seems to be aiming at creating a sinuous web of sound, it’s more muscular, and more tessellate, no longer content just to squat behind the rich wall of guitar noise. The song structures seem to be pushed and stretched to their limits. It’s almost as if the band has emerged from some sort of dark tunnel and is now busy stretching the odd sonic limb. I loved it. They’re on a quest to somewhere that is for shit-damn sure.

Een fenomeen als Deerhoof mag niet ongerecenseerd blijven, ongeacht dat dit (haast schattige) eclectische viertal alweer een halve maand geleden ons land aandeed en webzijde INDIE INDIE liever geen oude koeien uit de sloot vist. Toch heeft Deerhoof in het Patronaat (Haarlem) het weer geflikt om na een degelijk optreden in een te drukke Melkweg – waarbij uw recensent meer aandacht had voor het aanwezige bier en gezelschap – een sterke show weg te geven. Bovendien: buiten de hoofdstad is genoeg moois te zien.
