Rotterdam

I'm heading to Rotterdam at the end of the month for two collaborative shows. The first is with Dead Neanderthals at Vrooom, and the second is with Albatre at Roodkapje. This will be my first time guesting with Albatre, and third time with Dead Neanderthals following our mini-tour in the UK.

The Netherlands has a really strong scene of artists at the moment exploring the frayed edges of improvised music, free jazz, noise, metal, electronics, and so on, and I'm really excited to be involved with these two shows.

Details about both shows:

27th June: Vrooom, Rotterdam w/ Dead Neanderthals.

Collaboration With Dead Neanderthals

In May I'll be guesting with Dutch duo Dead Neanderthals for a couple of UK dates:

May 16th - The Vortex, London

May 17th - The Cowley Club, Brighton

Both dates will be double-bills with another excellent heavy Dutch trio 'Albatre'. Both bands are part of the burgeoning micro-scene of artists in Europe highlighting the crossover of improv, noise-rock, and jazz. Last August I put on a show for Dead Neanderthals in London and it was one of the heaviest sets I saw all year. In December we recorded a collaborative album, and these gigs will be the first time we perform together live.

Dead Neanderthals

Dead Neanderthals are an amazing sax and drums duo from Holland who combine noise, grindcore, free jazz and more. Webster/Holub will be supporting them at this London gig at Power Lunches in Dalston in a few weeks.

Here's some info and links for Dead Neanderthals:

The Dutch sax-and-drum duo Dead Neanderthals are not your average free-jazz experience. Incorporating elements from noise, jazz, metal and grindcore, they deliver a punch in the guts with every release. They already played festivals such as Le Guess Who?, De-Affaire and Incubate and they supported acts like MoHa!, Child Abuse, Neptune, Drum Eyes and Shining (No). Now it’s time to invade the UK!
