Viva Rosa + Combo Qazam @ OT301
A night that moves from eerie, groove-driven post-punk to nostalgic indie rock and ends with deep, percussive disco.
Combo Qazam Combo Qazam is a post-punk band from Utrecht that relies heavily on grooves and eerie vocal harmonies. On their well-received debut Flight Music (2020), they link this to 90s indie, math rock, prog and krautrock. Rhythmic and mechanical, yet nostalgic like a warm glow. On their second album Ghost Interior (2022), the band pursues the suffering of being human. For fans of Wire, Battles, Beak>, Tortoise, Pinback, Unwound, Can and Devo. Insta // Spotify // Bandcamp
Viva Rosa Inspired by the great noise bands of the late eighties and early nineties, Viva Rosa plays indie rock with a hint of alt-country and Americana. With the passing of frontman and founder Mathieu Rosmuller, the band came to an abrupt end in 2009. Since then they’ve reunited a handful of times to perform his beautiful songs. Now in a new line-up, consisting of the remaining members of Viva Rosa together with two close friends, they are working on new material. Insta // Spotify
Sentinel Island Disco Besides being a record label and club night, Sentinel Island Disco is a DJ duo that has its roots in Amsterdam. Moreover, it is a fictional island where the inhabitants seem to have eccentric party rituals. If you want to know what that looks like, you’ll have to dock at Sentinel Island. Someone like Barbara Boeing or San Soda likes to go there too. Think obscure soca, ecstatic (afro) disco and deep percussive grooves from Sentinel’s dark jungles. Insta // Spotify // Soundcloud
