DESCRIPTION:Sad and Gazing is a night devoted to the lush\, introspective s
	ide of Amsterdam’s\nunderground—a space where distortion and atmosphere ta
	ke center stage. Rooted in\na DIY ethos\, we aim to give shoegaze the cent
	ral platform it rarely gets\,\ninviting audiences into a fog-soaked world 
	of saturated colors and roaring\,\nimmersive soundscapes. More than just a
	 concert\, Sad and Gazing is about\nbuilding a community of emotion: creat
	ing a shared moment for drifting and\nfeeling lost together in the dreamy 
	haze of shoegaze and dream pop\n\nBarren Sea\nFemale-fronted 4-piece from 
	Amsterdam combining elements of grunge\, slowcore and\nshoegaze. Barren Se
	a combines powerful lyrics with raw intensity to create a\nlingering\, emo
	tional live experience.\nFor fans of: Cocteau Twins\, DIIV\, Cranberries (
	with an edge)\, Ride.\n\nCrashing\nInspired by shoegaze and alt-rock giant
	s like Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody\nValentine\, Crashing indulges in noisy 
	reverberated hooks\, intense live\nperformances and raw unfiltered volume 
	with a strong emphasis on DIY culture.\nCrank up the gain. Nail the kick d
	rum to the floor. Bring earplugs.\n\nHer Loving Aftertaste\nFour independe
	nt musicians and friends all interwoven in the night culture of\nAmsterdam
	\, attempting to create unique sounds utilising a power trio of drums\,\nb
	ass and guitar. Focus on dreamy vocals and lyrics that question life. Leng
	thy\nnostalgic and melancholy music connects the trio with heavily distort
	ed dreampop\nand shoegaze elements. Woven into this are very calm and clea
	n moments\, that\nbreak the songs down into more structured pieces and thr
	oughout creations\nattempting to find a balance between gutwrenching noise
	 and peaceful but\ntormenting harmony\n\nPresale/door prices adjusted: our
