mutha flac (su) + frankie teardrop + tba
A raw, high-energy collision between two worlds: the synth-punk pulse of
FRANKIE TEARDROP (NL) and the unfiltered punk intensity of MUTHA FLAC
(SU)
February 2026 marks a unique collaboration between two DIY powerhouses,
uniting across continents to tear down stages and connect underground
scenes from Paramaribo to Amsterdam.
This double-headline run fuses satirical Dutch synth chaos with tropical
Surinamese punk a cross-cultural exchange of noise, irony, and heart,
starting after the IFFR 2026 closing date (Feb 8) and riding the wave of
Tra Fasi’s premiere buzz plus FRANKIE TEARDROP’s January EP ‘Boxcutter’
launch.
Formed in 2019, Mutha Flac is the only punk rock band emerging
from the tropical city of Paramaribo, Suriname.
Born from the ashes of hardcore band Skafu, we blend fast-paced
riffs, straightforward hammering drums, and reflections on identity,
corruption, and youth rebellion, embodying the raw DIY spirit of
Suriname’s underground alternative scene.
Recent single “Guillotine” (Oct 3, 2025, Beerput Records)
reignited our presence with a follow-up to early releases that turned
heads in South American and Dutch punk circles.
Lineup:
· Shavero Ferrier – Vocals/Guitar
(Tra Fasi star, multi-project force)
· Regillio Padma (Norry) – Bass
· Jonothan Djojo (Jon) – Drums
· Timothy Jong A Lock (Tim) – Guitar (joined 2025)
Featured in the upcoming documentary Tra Fasi, selected at the International Film Festival Rotterdam

country with no venues or labels. Dying Scene+1
Plans for European expansion in 2026. Building on their Dutch performances and international film exposure,
Mutha Flac is gearing up for broader touring in the Netherlands and beyond.
A synth-punk phenomenon from Zaandam,
the Netherlands, formed by Lucas de Gier and
Duncan Vet. FRANKIE TEARDROP channels
disbelief and frustration into sharp,
satiricalbursts of sound. Their music is loud,
humorous, and cynical, reflecting the
absurdity of modern life.

This isn’t just a musical alliance. It’s a vital cultural bridge. In a world where punk is too often
framed as a Western export, this connection proves the genre thrives in overlooked corners like
Paramaribo, where kids build scenes from nothing. Lucas and Shavero’s friendship and shared work
represent a two-way exchange: Dutch technical know-how meets Surinamese raw defiance, creating
a model for global DIY solidarity. It’s proof that punk isn’t owned by any one culture, it’s a language of
resistance that travels, adapts, and grows stronger through collaboration. This tour is the next chapter:
not just shows, but a statement that underground music belongs everywhere.
