With their combined improvisational jazz spirit, Sun-Mi Hong and Alistair Payne create a hypnotic, poetic and high-spirited exchange of rhythm and melody. Vrije Geluiden recorded a live session with the duo.

Combining swooping electronic beats and punk rock performance with Arabic and Persian folk influences, LQRQ would have performed their very first show at LGW OFF. Although that live debut will have to wait a little longer, photographer Melanie Marsman went by to visually capture a glimpse of their live energy anyway.

Amenra’s Colin H. van Eeckhout and broeder Dieleman will premiere their joint project at LGW OFF. The former is captain of one of metal’s most innovative and punishing live acts, whereas the latter writes idiosyncratic Zealandic folk that intersects both the pop and experimental idioms. Melanie Marsman visited them at the Mennonite Church in Middelburg.

Charlie and the Lesbians bring squalor and mischief in bunches with their hard-hitting, delirious abomination of garage rock and post-hardcore. Melanie Marsman visited them while rehearsing in their home base Eindhoven.
