The Mighty Breaks Host
‘Master Club’ Album Release Show

Last Friday we released The Mighty Breaks’ debut album ‘Master Club’ in style at our very own night club ‘Master Club’, named after the real deal in Italy, for one night, at The Grey Space in the Middle. The turnout was more than we dreamt of in advance, thank you all so much for being there, for sharing this special moment with us.

You can listen to the record here, it’s also available on 12” vinyl, in our webshop and record stores.

The always amazing Philine van den Hul took some cool pictures of people attending the event, to be seen here.

 

Much love!

 

 

The Visual impress at Best Kept Secret Festival

We are so proud of The Visual, who absolutely killed it at Best Kept Secret Festival, gracing the line up amongst acts like Guided By Voices, Kraftwerk, Fat White Family, Stereolab, Spiritualized, Mac DeMarco and more. Some reviews of their show (in Dutch):

3VOOR12
“Op het climaxmoment schuiven wolken voor de zon, alsof de weergoden begrijpen wat voor setting deze act nodig had. Het moment geeft meteen rillingen over de rug, en is een gevalletje ‘nomen est omen’: we zijn een kind geworden in de dystopische, zwart-wit arthouse film van The Visual.”

Dansende Beren (BE)
“Hun korte set ging van chaos naar extreme sereniteit in de finale. Nadat Anna met haar gitaar de microfoonstaander aan diggelen gooide, sloot ze in haar eentje af met het rustgevende “Hold Your Breath”.

The Daily Indie
”Tussen alle mystiek door vallen invloeden als Jeff Buckley en Beach House op. De hoogtepuntjes uit dit optreden zijn toch echt wel de nummers Lost in Translation en Under My Skin.’

The Hazzah Album Release Afterparty

All the info for this weekend in one place:

? The Hazzah album release ?

The Hague based garage rockers will release their debut album ‘Post’ online on Friday March 15th, with a release show on Saturday March 16th at Paard (support: Torii) and a official afterparty at De Zwarte Ruiter Den Haag (DJs: Cosmic Silk)!

‘Refining their post-psychedelic roots for their upcoming debut album, The Hazzah’s songs have become louder, deeper and shorter. The scuzzy sounds and words draw influences from bands like Black Lips, The Rolling Stones, Ty Segall and Tomorrows Tulips’.

 

The Hazzah Album Release Show March 16th

We would love to see you all at The Hazzah’s album launch at Paard in The Hague on the 16th of March! Our very  own Torii will be doing the support at this show, and an afterparty wil be at Zwarte Ruijter.

Tickets are €6 and can be found here.  Check out the Facebook Event here.  You can now pre-order POST on 12” heavy weight vinyl in our webshop – click here. 

We would like to invite you to the celebration of the release of ‘Post’, debut album by The Hazzah. These boys from The Hague have played in every corner of the city and added close to 100 shows throughout the rest of The Netherlands and France in the past 2 years. During the release show at Paard the band will perform their new material and the album will be available for the first time on 12” vinyl.

The Hazzah’s music is a reflection of the warm comfort of existential freedom experienced through a smoke break during a long road trip. Refining their post-psychedelic roots for their upcoming debut album, The Hazzah’s songs have become louder, deeper and shorter.

‘Post’ was recorded over the summer of 2018 together with producer/engineer Michiel Mutsaerts. The album came into being in recording spaces varying from high-end studios like Wisseloord in Hilversum, to a DIY temporary self-built studio in the headquarters of a scouting group in the North of Holland. The Hazzah recorded their new song without any restraints, resulting in an album that beautifully combines the members’ diverse music tastes.

Backed by acclaimed Dutch live agency Friendly Fire, The Hazzah have toured extensively throughout the Netherlands, performing at festivals like Le Mini Who, Dutch Design Week, Life I Live, Crossing Border and Paaspop, and supporting acts like Mattiel (CA), Pale Waves (UK), Alex Lahey (AU), St. Tropez (NL), CFM (VS), Hallo Venray (NL), Equal Idiots (BE), The Glücks (BE), Phobophobes (UK). Their music has been featured on 3FM, in Spotify playlists like ‘New Alternative’, and on music/film blogs like Noisey, The Daily Indie and Booooooom TV.

Avocet Announce EP Release at The Poetry Club, Glasgow

Avocet are releasing their debut EP during a night in their hometown of Glasgow, on May 23rd, at The Poetry Club!

Drawing inspiration from both the psychedelic folk scene alive in Britain during the 1960’s and 70’s, and free form blues, Herbie, Iona and Sam create their own compositions on harp, guitar, double bass and vocals. Their music has been compared to that of artists like like Nick Drake, Pentangle, and John Martyn.

Recently signed to Dutch/Scottish record label Mink Records, they travelled to the Netherlands to record their debut record at the Abbey Road Institute, Amsterdam.

Avocet have performed on BBC Scotland, and at an array of festivals and venues including Celtic Connection and Eden Festival. They were winners of the Danny Kyle Celtic Connections Award in 2017.

The trio released their debut single ‘Causeway’ on January 26th, 2018. The track received critical acclaim from platforms like Folk Radio U.K, and can be found in a number of Spotify playlists.
