Music:

Bands we work with:Feverdream , Feverdream has been around since 1997. Working their way up with a DIY mentality they managed to release their debut in 1998 called Pretend That It's Forever. Supported with a wild act of youngsters (average age was 17!) they managed to impress a close inner circle of the Dutch scene and soon were signed for their next record. Growing more confident and living life as a band, Feverdream's music has grown and has gotten even intenser. The need to perform, the energy that feeds the singer/guitar player, combined with the DIY mentality they are used to, has led to many gigs in Holland, 4 European tours and 5 UK tours, supporting bands such as Blonde Redhead, Enon, 90 Day men, No Means No, The Thermals, Challenger, Minus the Bear, Les Savy Fav, Archie Bronson Outfit, Karate and many more. Or headlining them selves and making a hell of a party the locals will never forget! You could compair Feverdream's style with the American tradition of bands from several labels, such as Touch & Go, Trance Syndicate en Kill Rock Stars. So, do not expect long-winded subtlety but straight forward progression.Zoppo ,Sauna West The Saunawest EP ‘Uniform’ was released in June 2005. It is the band’s second recording after a self-titled 2003 demo. The band started in 2002 playing in the squats, parties, pop venues and open air festivals of the Netherlands, including support slots for Hot Hot Heat and Peaches. People flocked to their gigs as word spread about Saunawest’s energetic and exciting live performances. For their hot pop stew the group draws inspiration from various sources. Traces of electropop, garage rock, art rock, funk, madchester, disco and nederbeat acts can all be found in Saunawest’s sound.‘Do you like my uniform’ caught the attention of the hairstyle franchise Kinki Kappers. The song appeared on their ‘Kinki Cuts 2’ sampler, released by United Recordings. Other artists on the compilation set are Mylo, Munk and Scissor Sisters. The album was released in Germany, the UK and the Benelux countries.,LushusThe band Lushus has existed in its current, powerful formation, for two years. There are two charismatic female bass players and an energetic drummer,all of whom sing.Together they indulge and tease the listener whith a mixture of jazz, punk and nu-wave.Their new album 'Red Blushes' is being published by Dying Giraffe Recordings, and is sold in latex or felt sleeves.Lushus will also be recording a vinyl single with Corno Swetsloot in May 2006.In the coming year, they will be gigging all around Europe to promote thenew album as well as the single. Lushus have recently played in Germany,Denmark, Tjechië, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium.Elle Bandita , DO YOU GET IT GRRRL? Elle Bandita is a one-woman-formation, consisting of a girl, a 4track taperecorder and a screaming guitar. The music is kind of a mix between elektro, punk and heavy rock with nut-cracking solos. It’s all about the fun, but also contains some messages of social criticism. Elle Bandita grew up in the suburbs of Rotterdam, where she faced a lot of people with homophobic and fascist views. Ofcourse, being a punk, everybody thought she looked like a boy, and people made fun of her because of that. And ofcourse she didn’t care about those stupid fucks, but started a counter-attack. Elle Bandita IS the counter-attack. Revenge is always sweet, but can be fun too. Love her or hate her. Do whatever you like, but don’t bother her with prejudiced speeches, cuz she might use her mic to fill up that little empty hole in yr brains, or, even worse: she could write a song about you...At No Bikini Beach ,Think of At No Bikini Beach as a wave of stirring melodies supported by a low, rhythmical bass flow and a drummer drumming like he's the drums themselves. You won't find complete choruses, verses, pop or rock songs. It's all about the flow and holding on to it. They do shows when asked. At No Bikini Beach is not expensive, so if you've got some room for a band featuring members from experienced bands, exploring the outer limits of instrumental tension and not afraid of danceability.... Hey! They will do your wedding or Birthday too. That`s the most fun anyway.
