Our friends at Kaiserlabel are throwing a party, we are invited and so are you! Spread over three nights in May and June, the suitably titled Kaiserfest will feature Narrominded dronemeisters Puin + Hoop and different groups featuring Kruno JoÅ¡t and Gijs Borstlap, who released their collaborative cd Quasi Quasi with us last year. So pull out your agenda’s and block these dates: May 13 and June 17 Kaiserfest will hit Amsterdam’s Zaal 100, and on June 18 OCCII, also in Amsterdam, is the place to be. Also performing on these three nights: Machinist, Back Stabbath, Monotonos, Adolf Butler and many more. Check out the very teasing trailer below.
The Slovenian/Croatian label Moonlee Records distributes the Gone Bald album Waiting It Out. It already got some great reviews over there from Helly Cherry, Zurnal, New Noise, Radio Student Ljubjana, Rockline and Pot Lista. Incendiary Magazine says ‘there’s no denying the record’s quality’ and Kwadratuur thinks ‘it could be a brilliant record for noise fans’. Kwadratuur also reviews De Objectieve Lach by Puin+Hoop + Herman Wilken + Coen Oscar Polack and rates it 4 out of 5. Door by Puin + Hoop got 4,5 out of 5 stars from Kwadratuur and an excellent review from Chain D.L.K.: ‘A remarkable release. Highly recommended.’
