The Friendship Issue

Joni Mitchell once sang ‘Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone’. A striking sentence in relation

to this image of a dead ring-necked parakeet (made by this month’s featured artist, Annegien van Doorn) and the three words printed

above it. Shall we spell it out for you?... Cherish the colourful beauty of friends, folks. Life’s short.

So let’s talk friendship, darlings. You know, the heartfelt, offline, comfort-ing sort of friendship. The kind that makes you answer your phone at four in the morning, regardless. ‘Cause we all need a little love every now and then. especially in this digital era, where everything seems so out of con-trol. In a good way, sure. But still, we are in need of an anchor. So what about your childhood friends? have you seen them lately? Maybe you should. ‘Cause we are alone in the universe, but at least we’re all in this together. Just saying.

Top 5 last month at our office

1 Event: Le Mini Who our le Mini Who programme at Moira was a blast! amaz-

ing venue, cheap beer and jam-packed shows. Spilt Milk was sold out and aWoTT from Moscow took the stage wearing outrageous masks and outfits and then shredded up the place, with their raw and relentless noise music.

2 Common Era: Week 22 animal Collective, dan deacon and health all performed

in amsterdam during this glorious week in May and all three shows were free for Subbacultcha! members. Christ-mas came early this year, folks!

3 Book: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzerald Fuck the film, read the book, it’s awesome. It’s a great

american novel vs expensive american hollywood pulp. and the book doesn’t contain songs by Jay Z, lana del Rey and Beyoncé, nor do you have to wear those silly 3d glasses. It’s a win-win-win situation.

4 Cuisine: Korean food kagi and Miri are known for running the cloakroom at

oT301. however, they are also outstanding cooks. Be-sides offering up their fine korean dishes for the bands that are playing, they also run a bi-monthly food and film night called Youngwha.

5 Exhibition: Monica Nouwens at FOAM Monica Nouwens’ exhibition Look at me and tell me if you

have known me before sure offers poetic examinations of the currently vibrant dIY subculture in los angeles and makes us long for those simpler, warmer summer days.

LAW www.lawholt.com

edinburgh-based vocalist lauren holt, aka laW, is causing quite the stir with her super-moody, super-cool track ‘hustle’. It’s the only thing she’s released so far, but I expect a few more tracks will be released in due course – and based on this one, they’re gonna be dope. This particular track has got an eerie, clappy rhythm to it that will make you wanna swig whisky in a tiny nightie in some motel room till you pass out. Yeah, that’s what the video is like, or perhaps a lo-fi, drunk-er, slowed-down version of Cher’s ‘Believe’. Watch this lady: things are going to get mega good for her.

Wolf Alicesoundcloud.com/wolfalice

london four-piece Wolf alice have that wonderful quality of be-ing both loud and quiet at the same time, cleverly borrowing from all across the guitar music spectrum and coming up with something that’s catchy, thoughtful and just really good. vocalist ellie Rowsell has that kind of voice that makes you want to shamelessly imitate it in the shower. The other three guys, Joff, Joel and Theo, do a pretty swell job too. This is the one band you should be on the lookout for on gig posters in your town this summer. Check out their track ‘Bros’ and pre-pare to be amazed.

This French term describes the funny pattern effect that appears on television screens when weather presenters accidentally wear hound-stooth jackets. Moiré’s music is similarly characterised by opposing patterns of synths, abstracted vocals and stuttering repetitions that glimmer and glisten like the big digital boobies that feature in his vid-eo for ‘I don’t get It’. We don’t know much more about Moiré, save for the fact that he’s not French and he probably does not wear hound-stooth (phew). his latest eP, Rolx, is out now on Rush hour and it’s a belter.

Features The Friendship Issue

RyanHemsworthRyan Hemsworth makes the kind of hip hop

beats that have a lot of really fast hi-hats and snare drum fills over spaced-out synths to accompany

a night of cough syrup abuse, if you’re into things like that. And although it may seem like the kind

of music you would make if you’re from New Orleans or some other place in the southern US,

he actually lives in Halifax, Canada. It was a bit of a hassle to arrange the interview, as he’s currently

touring through Norway, so we just sent him some questions via email, to which he kindly responded.

He’s nice like that.

‘I don’t think I’m worthy of being a mentor. I’m still always learning myself ’

Hi Ryan! So, I just looked up Halifax on Google Maps, and took a virtual stroll to get an idea of the place. It seems quite beautiful, but also probably pretty iso-lated from the rest of the world. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

‘My neighbourhood was pret-ty normal, middle class-ish I think. I was always, like, five minutes away from my schools and friends and stuff. It was nice having everything close. Easy growing up, I guess! Mak-ing music and stuff was definitely in-teresting to me because I guess it was just something different from what was going on around me. I never liked sports or school and I’m pretty out of touch with real-world issues.’ I’ve found that remote places tend to have these close-knit scenes. Are there a lot of different scenes in Halifax? Which one did you belong to, if any?

‘Yeah, there definitely were a lot of different little scenes where I grew up. But now that I’m travelling more I’m realising they weren’t as polaris-ing as in a lot of major cities. When I

was in school I was friends with weird kids, smart kids, dumb kids, poor kids, rich kids. I like having friends, it’s great to hang out with different peo-ple all the time. I would get tired of hanging around someone like myself quickly, I think.’ When you were growing up, who were the kids you looked up to and why?

‘My older cousin Matt had the best horror movies and played in a cool band and let me borrow his Ra-diohead CDs, he definitely got me on the right track. It’s lucky if you can have someone help you figure out stuff without wasting too much of your youth making mistakes.’How did you get into making beats? Was there someone to help you out, or did you do it all by yourself ?

‘Yeah, I guess producing and making beats was a solo venture for me. I didn’t have any friends in my city who I talked with about this stuff. I’d just go home after school or what-ever and work on stuff as much as I could until I had to do homework.

‘When I was in school I was friends with weird kids, smart kids, dumb kids, poor kids, rich kids. I like having friends, it’s great to hang out with

different people all the time.’

Features Ryan hemsworth

I’ve always liked locking myself away like that.’ Do you ever take the role of a mentor to other (young) kids? Like, hook them up with sick plug-ins or software and stuff ?

‘Ha-ha, I always try to get back to people when they have questions about making music. I didn’t have many people to give me answers when I was starting out so I know anything helps when you’re trying to teach yourself production and stuff. I don’t think I’m worthy of being a mentor though. I’m still always learning my-self.’ One other thing: I saw you studied journalism. Did you by any chance in-tern at a local newspaper? What do you think of the role of local newspapers in building/sustaining/nurturing a com-munity or scene? What are they doing right and what are they doing wrong?

‘I wrote for a local paper, like an alternative weekly one that fo-

cused on arts and community. I had a lot of fun just writing about weird little local bands and stuff and try-ing to interview people. I think lo-cal papers have been important for a long time, but obviously things have been changing for a while. Popular-ity is focused online; I know at least in my city the local free papers and stuff are more for people commut-ing or on a work break, stuff like that. I think it’s just hard to find ways to combat data plans and iPads and lap-tops now, y’know? You just have to of-fer the most local, fresh stuff as possi-ble really and hopefully create a buzz in your city. Offer something that the sites people go to can’t, whatever that may be exactly.’

On the next spread you’ll see a photo of a rainbow-shaped climbing frame. At the centre

stand guitarist Russ Waterhouse and pianist Lea Cho of avant-rock outfit Blues Control. The photo

was taken by Christopher Schreck in Brooklyn. A pretty picture isn’t it? Perfect for our friendship

issue. A few years ago, the couple moved from Brooklyn to Coopersburg, PA, for a dose of rural

idyll. They continue to make their peacefully rebellious ‘piano-rock’, but these days with a more focused mind. We spoke of embracing the quiet

life, communities and cute animals.

‘We’re open to the element of confusion and surprise, but we always stay concerned with trying

to make people feel happy with our music’

Read the interview Brenda Bosma did with them online.

The show is free for Subbacultcha! members.

Who was the first friend you ever made? Do you still know him or her?

‘I guess it would be my friend Joanna. She was about two or three years older than me. My parents are from Poland and they moved to New Jersey in the Seventies. They had a lot of friends who were also from Poland and this girl Joanna was the daughter

of close friends of theirs. I’m not in touch with her any more ’cause… well, she’s kind of nuts.’ Were you part of the Polish community back then?

‘Me personally? Not exactly. But my parents definitely were, and I guess I was by proxy.’Are your parents still part of it?


The BabiesVivian Girls’ singer/guitarist Cassie Ramone formed The Babies with pal and Woods bass

player Kevin Morby during a break from their main bands, trading vocals and songwriting skills to create songs that have a ramshackle charm to them. For their second album the East Coasters brushed off their characteristic slacker aesthetic to highlight Cassie’s endearing and slightly off-

key croon. We talked to the songstress about childhood friends, work ethic and being distracted

by digital media.

‘My mom is really into the Uni-tarian Church community. She’s also an artist so she goes to a lot of art classes. Those aren’t exactly Polish communities but you know, all her best friends are Polish.’So how did you select your friends when you were growing up?

‘Growing up in Hackensack I

would just be friends with the kids in my neighbourhood. There was this re-ally cool girl named Tamila who lived a block away from me. And this real-ly cool guy named Robert who lived two blocks from me. Then I moved to Ridgewood, where I lived till I was 18, and there weren’t any kids on my block. So I guess I just… I don’t

People who have a good spirit. I like weird people. People that are kind of… crazy’

know… I just became friends with anyone who wanted to be friends with me. ’Cause I was kind of a weird kid [Laughs]. In high school I was friends with a lot of bad kids who ended up as drug addicts and up to no good in their later lives [Laughs].’How do you select your friends nowa-days?

‘I like people who are creative, have a sense of humour, are sponta-neous. Go on adventures. People who have a good spirit. I like weird peo-ple. People that are kind of… crazy [Laughs].’Do you think you’re part of a network of friends? Like a social structure?

‘Absolutely. I think that in Brook-lyn – and all over America and the world – there’s definitely a very large network of people. And I feel like, at the end of the day, everybody’s con-nected, even in different cities and countries. That’s a pretty special thing to be involved in. It’s nice to know that everywhere you go there’s always going to be a little part of home there.’I imagine your recording sessions as just one continuing relaxed Sunday after-noon. Am I wrong?

‘Our two albums were recorded very differently. We recorded our first album over the course of two years – like, a weekend here and a weekend

there. So that was definitely relaxed. But almost too relaxed, you know. It took such a long time. And then our second album we recorded over the course of two weeks – in LA. That was definitely more high pressured. We were in the studio for more than 12 hours a day, constantly working. It’s actually what I prefer. I liked being in the studio, going: “Okay, we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna get this done.”’So you like structure?

‘Yeah, I do. Because otherwise it’s really easy for me to get off track. This makes it easier for me to focus.’I saw you are quite the tweeter (twit-ter.com/cassieramone). What are your thoughts on social networks like Face-book and Twitter?

‘I wish they didn’t exist. I mean, it’s the modern world: you’ve got to do it. It’s a useful tool for self-pro-motion. But at the end of the day, I wish that the internet didn’t exist. I wish that cell phones didn’t exist. I believe that digital media really con-fuse things and make people distract-ed – well, it makes me really distract-ed, anyway. But whatever, I just try to go along with it.’

The Babies play at EKKO in Utrecht on 15 June, the show is free for Subbacultcha! members. Other live dates: 16/06 - Para-diso, Amsterdam, 18/06 - Vera, Groningen.

Spilt MilkSubbacultcha! recently released Spilt Milk’s brand

new 10" Funeral Blues. It features ten songs – mostly about death – with lyrics composed of

poems by dead poets. The album is accompanied by a 36-page booklet titled De Dudduvuddu, in

which writers, poets and artists of all sorts joined forces to fight mortality.

Now, for this merry occasion we asked Spilt Milk’s Brenda Bosma and Marc van der Holst (Best

Friends For Ever) to have a small chat about these joyful products of the artistic searching of the soul.

Illustration by Bert Scholten

Brenda: That’s quite the statement we made. I actually don’t have all that much of a problem with death as long as it comes after a string of relatively nice ex-periences. What’s your problem with it?

Marc: Well, first of all, in a lot of cases it comes after a string of not-so-nice experiences...

B: And second of all?M: That it’s last of all. No, you know, losing loved ones, the ran-domness, the unfairness of it all?

B: But why hang on to life when you know it won’t be an everlasting picnic anyway?

M: There seems to be this inner drive to live. I was just reading about that, actually. Borges, on immortality. But yeah, I wouldn’t want to live for ever, I just don’t want to die.

B: Ha-ha, I think you’d make Heidegger turn in his grave with this statement. He’s more about accepting one’s tempo-rarity and acknowledging death so that one can fully live a meaningful life. Pro-testing against death would be futile.

M: You’re telling me now?B: I just googled it. I’m sorry. Back to De Dudduvuddu. It contains some pret-ty dark stuff, some people might even think it is pro-death.

M: I think most contributors recognised protest was futile...

B: Are you up for making another pro-test paper?

M: It would kill me.B: Well, I’m up for it. Making this one made me feel really alive. We could make one against bad weather, or weak shoe-laces – or wait! A few days ago I got mail from my funeral insurance. They invited me to their annual members meeting. I think we should definitely make a pro-test paper against the high costs of cre-mation (€5,000) and burial (€7,000)!

M: Jesus! I can’t even afford to die!B: Let’s go to that meeting, hand out De Dudduvuddu and ask for a discount. Would that be the end of our protest?

M: Yeah, and then die, if the dis-count’s only valid on that day.

Spilt Milk are playing Concertgebouw in Am-sterdam on 14 June as part of the Memen-to Mori programme. The show is free for all.

Annegien van Doorn

This month’s featured artist, Annegien van Doorn (1982), lives and works in Amster-dam. Her photos and videos revolve around her fascination with everyday objects, their meaning and their history. She focuses on things that are usualy not focused on and rearranges them into a new reality. She in-tervenes in her surroundings, re-creating reality and replacing it with a new one. An important realisation is that the result is not better or more beautiful than the original; it is just different and with that it exposes the randomness and the endless possibilities of life. Annegien currently resides in Den Hel-der, where she is artist-in-residence at Het Pompgemaal.

Majical CloudzImpersonator

(Matador)

We live in an era of constant stimulation, of having the world at our fingertips. Unlike so many of his contemporaries, Majical Cloudz songwriter and vocalist Devon Walsh decid-ed to resist the temptation to overstuff his songs with instru-mental ideas and references, and instead make music that’s ‘emp-tied out as much as possible’. The Canadian duo’s full-length debut, he says, is ‘not meant to energise and turn you out to the world, it’s meant to do the op-posite; it’s more like a cocoon’. By enveloping Walsh’s rich vo-cals and intensely personal, qui-etly devastating lyrics in delicate waves of white noise, synths and minimalist percussion, Imper-sonator succeeds masterfully in creating a safe place for both him and listeners to be vulner-able, to feel feelings, and hope-fully to someday move on.

Way YesTog Pebbles

(self-released)

With their Avey Tare-esque vo-cals, Afro-pop touches, and at-mospheric soundscapes, this Columbus, Ohio psych-pop quartet immediately evokes Animal Collective, and while they’re far from the first band to do so, they are among the few to infuse their sound with enough of their own personality and style to transcend mere mimic-ry. Upon forming in 2010, they set out to make feel-good music with a dark twist. Although the lyrical themes explored on their full-length debut include such heavy topics as suicidal grand-mas and hating one’s job, as they put it, ‘Listening to Tog Pebbles is like attending a funeral on a beach’: bad things happen, but they’re much easier to peaceful-ly accept when acknowledged by sweet multi-part harmonies afloat on a sea of warm, exoti-cally gorgeous instrumentation.

WampireCuriosity

(Polyvinyl)

Wampire’s Rocky Tinder and Eric Phipps have been jam-ming together since they were in middle school. They cut their teeth playing wild, shitty house shows around Portland, but be-ing a legendary party band wasn’t enough for these greedy Budsuckers: they craved eternal life. What better route to im-mortality than recruiting one of the most talented guys you know – in this case Jake Portrait of Portland’s beloved Unknown Mortal Orchestra – to produce and co-write your debut al-bum? On Curiosity, as it’s called, these lost boys explore a vari-ety of genres and tempos, some-times sounding like Ric Ocasek and the synth player from Dire Straits doing a macabre retake on ‘Walk of Life’. The result is a curious little collection of breezy organ-driven pop you’ll want to spin from dusk till dawn.

Pure XCrawling Up the Stairs

(Acephale)

This Austin trio once described their sound as ‘40 degrees + raining + out of coffee + out of cash’. Their 2011 debut, Plea-sure, was indeed somber and de-feated sounding, yet it possessed an ethereal, anaesthetic beau-ty. As if running out of coffee wasn’t bad enough, things got even tougher for Pure X follow-ing Pleasure’s release, as multiple band members endured break-ups and singer Nate Grace suf-fered a debilitating leg injury which left him on crutches for much of last year. Crawling Up the Stairs recounts this pain-ful period in Pure X’s existence, with the band setting a groovy, often improvised stage upon which Grace’s narrator tumbles downwards, thrashes about in frustration, and ultimately claws his way back out of hell. Coarser but braver and more satisfying than their debut.

Real Estate’s Alex Bleeker has once again recruited a motley crew of musicians from like-minded bands like Woods and Big Troubles to help make his sophomore LP. Though it trac-es the dissolution of a relation-ship, How Far Away keeps its eyes fixed on the horizon thanks to Bleeker’s bittersweet and charmingly awkward vocals and the relaxed overall vibe.

Jon HopkinsImmunity

(Domino)

This UK producer has re-mained elusive despite play-ing in Imogen Heap, contribut-ing to Grammy- and Mercury Prize-nominated albums, and collaborating with Brian Eno. His fourth full-length opens with the sound of a key unlock-ing a door, and what follows is a rare glimpse into his world – one replete with organic sounds and his most danceable take on techno yet.

HoundmouthFrom the Hills Below the City

(Rough Trade)

This countrified quartet from Southern Indiana were a duo ‘til they recruited two more mem-bers perhaps after realising the gospel’s a whole lot more fun when delivered by a choir. The deviant tales of drinkin’ and drugs on their debut album don’t deviate far from South-ern Rock tropes, but do offer as much guilty pleasure as a glass of bourbon whiskey.

Hooded FangGravez

(Full Time Hobby)

Formed by a group of friends with no musical training, these Torontonians specialize in lo-fi garage pop inspired by ’60s surf rock and girl groups. Compared to 2012’s Polaris Prize-nom-inated Tosta Mista, Gravez is more punk-oriented and dark-er in tone, though were it to soundtrack a funeral, it’d still be more of a celebratory, ash-es-shot-out-of-a-cannon-style affair.

‘ A SENSATIONAl EllE FANNING ‘The New York Times

By Basje Boer In theatres Film

Before Midnight(Richard Linklater, 2013)

Richard Linklater once again tries to tackle the myth of the one true love. In Before Sunrise his protagonists fall in love during one annoyingly romantic night in Vienna. Nine years later they meet again in Paris, in Before Sunset, their view on love more cynical than the last time they hooked up. In Before Midnight we meet the couple in sunny Greece, where an apparently idyllic summer evening turns quite bitter. In theatres 06 June.

Oh Boy( Jan Ole Gerster, 2012)

This German festival favourite, described by IMDb as a ‘self-ironic tragicomedy’, portrays college dropout Niko

Fischer, the ‘straight man’ in a world full of idiots, neurotics and assholes. We’re on Niko’s trail for 24 crazy hours as he meets a nosy neighbour, plays golf with his dominant father, visits the set of a cheesy WWII drama and runs into an old schoolmate who is as bitter as she is pretty. And all the while he can’t even manage to order a cup of coffee. Classic offbeat coming-of-age comedy, reminiscent of old-school Woody Allen. In theatres 30 May.

Also looking forward to:

We’re also looking forward to two reprises of successful collabora-tions. Ryan ‘hey girl’ Gosling and Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, whose bromance super pow-ers brought us the excellent Drive, have once again joined forces for the ultra-violent Only God Forgives. On the other side of the movie spectrum there’s quirky Frances Ha, bring-ing together indie-flick superstar Noah Baumbach and queen of mum-blecore Greta Gerwig for the second time since Greenberg.

No3: Alien vs. Predator, by Michael Robbins

By Marc van der Holst Books

Time to put some poetry on our R’N’R bookshelf. We could have picked some old beatnik like Al-len Ginsberg (‘Howl’ is actually really good) of course, or Rim-baud – and they rock all right... Or the collected lyrics of Chuck Berry, Lou Reed or Patty Smith. Or The Outlaw Bible of Ameri-can Poetry, a great gathering of bohemians, hippies, punks and slackers. Instead, we’re going with this witty white kid from the suburbs: Michael Robbins.Seemingly out of nowhere, in 2009 Robbins’ poem ‘Alien vs. Predator’ made it into The New Yorker. This was not your typi-cal TNY poem (though you can tell, reading this 2012 debut col-lection of the same name, that Robbins is a big fan of regu-lar TNY contributor Frederick Seidel). ‘Praise this world, Ril-ke says, the jerk. We’d stay up all night. Every angel’s berserk.’ Robbins is most brill and he’s rhymin’ & paraphrasin’, to para-

phrase the Beastie Boys. Which seems apt, his poetry being a lot like hip hop, with lots of sam-ples, rhymes and wordplay. It even features Ghostface Killah and Jay-Z, yo.

Avs.P is soaked in today’s pop and consumer culture, feels like semi-randomly surfing the internet at times (it even looks the part, its black cover with green type reminiscent of MS-DOS), and can be just as frac-tured. Though there is certain-ly a stylistic coherence to the book, and a logic to its sphinx-like poems, this arguably not al-ways makes for very ‘deep’ or ‘emotional’ poetry. It is, at the very least, a lot of nonsensical fun though, and hey, the same thing could be said (though I’d disagree) about ‘Tutti Frutti’s ‘A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop’. Or, as Robbins puts it: ‘That elk is such a dick. He’s a space tree making a ski and a little foam chiroprac-tor.’ A-lomp-bom-bom!

Alien vs. Predator by Michael Robbins

What did you find inspiring about the band?

‘In their video “Baby”, front woman Cassie sings karaoke alongside kitschy exotic holi-day pictures projected onto the background of the video. I just loved the overall dreamy atmo-sphere it breathed.’Which piece from your outfit did you get first?

‘The necklace, which actual-ly was a gift from a friend. I cus-tomised it by adding a few small charms that have multiple sto-ries to them.’Nice starting piece! And then?

‘I layered two stockings on top of each other to create an exciting pattern. I bought them for a good deal at the Noorder-markt, 3 for €5. The shoes were also a gift from a friend. They completed my outfit perfectly.’So it seems the clothes themselves came last?

‘Yes! I put all my faith into Queen’s Day finds and it

worked! I got the denim shirt and the skirt at a flea market on Apollolaan.’Which karaoke song would you be singing in your dreamy outfit?

‘“Underwater Love” by Smoke City. Why? Because of its dreamy bubble sound, of course.’

Lo-fi pop band The Babies were this month’s inspiration for 34-year-old Lauren Mary Dyer, visual artist at her own collective,

‘A World of Bliss’.

Food Cooking with... By Zofia Ciechowska

As members of Wampire, how do you deal with garlic?

Rocky Tinder: ‘I love garlic but I kind of gave up on it. It’s such a hassle to peel.’

So I heard that you guys have known each other since fifth grade. Do you have any food memories from those times?

‘It never stops being fun to eat string cheese. When I was a kid I would just throw a whole string cheese log in a tortilla and microwave the hell out of it, roll it up and eat it, it was super ghetto. I also microwave CDs – if you haven’t done it before, you should try it. When I first met my step-brother he told me that he microwaved his cat. I instant-ly didn’t trust him, ha-ha.’

If you could invite anyone (dead or alive) to eat dinner with you, who would you invite?

‘I might invite that dude with the boat with all the ani-mals on it – Noah. I would have him round with two of each an-imal and ask them what really happened. We wouldn’t eat the

animals, because there would only be two of them, but we’d have some chicken. I cook this super good chicken, rice and kale recipe all the time. I cooked a lot when I was younger when I worked in restaurant kitchens. What I took away from that was the simpler the recipe, the bet-ter. My first cooking job was at an Italian restaurant in Salem, I really wanted a job so I looked through a phonebook and just called places that sounded in-teresting. I cold-called this Ital-ian restaurant and got the own-er, Rob Henry, on the phone and made this spiel about how cook-ing was what I wanted to do and that I wanted to learn and the guy just hired me after that call. I worked there for like two years and he taught me tons of things about cooking, like how to slice onions properly. I moved on to cook at Mexican, Creole, Thai, German places, even a crêperie.’

Wampire’s new album, Curiosity, is out on Polyvinyl Records. They will play MC Theater in Amsterdam on 21 June. The show is free for Subbacult-cha! members.

Horoscope By Brenda Bosma

CANCER22 June–22 JulyFinally you’ve set your

mind on running that crazy mara-thon. You slip over banana peels, trip over bottles of Gatorade, faint twice and wet yourself three times, but when you cross the finish line, you have blossom leaves in your hair.

LEO23 July–22 AugThere’s magic in the

air. Black magic. Or maybe it’s just smog. You’re not taking any chanc-es though; you perform the neces-sary rituals and the smog magical-ly disappears. A global warmth fills your soul.

VIRGO23 Aug–22 SeptYou dream you’re driv-

ing a tractor. Endless fields of corn slowly pass you by. Something’s rus-tling in the corn, but you keep your eyes on the road, and focus on the faint and faraway mooing of cows and buzzing of bees. You’re on your way to the land of milk and honey.

LIBRA23 Sept–22 OctYou’ve never handled a

forklift before, but you work it like a charm, moving boxes from one side of the room to the other and back. You don’t know what’s inside the

boxes. You know you’re not supposed to look. You’re guessing forklift parts or more boxes. Something inside of you breaks and you look.

SCORPIO23 Oct–21 NovYou play video games to

kill time. You die a thousand deaths, but time just won’t die. It’s one hell of an end boss. You have a lot of FAQs, but most of all you need a walk-through of life.

SAGIttARIuS22 Nov–21 DecWhen he/she comes

near to you, you go away. When things are not clear to you, you go away. These are lines from a Vincent Gallo song. He’s a fire sign just like you. You feel he’s your best friend this month.

CAPRICORN22 Dec–20 JanYou protect your high-

ly sensitive nature with an armour of steel. Even alone in bed you wear it, causing heavy outbursts of sweat. In the shower washing your sensitive strands of hair you wear it. This isn’t stainless steel though.

AquARIuS21 Jan-19 FebYou wish you had a

million dollars. So you could light

it aflame. You don’t need money, you need adventure. You simply need your eyebrows scorched every once in a while.

PISCES20 Feb–20 MarchYou start to believe

you’re rubbing people up the wrong way, making them allergic to your essence. This month it’s all about de-lusional self-images for our funny-smelling Pisces.

ARIES21 March –20 AprilThe steady build-up of

plaque in your arteries, the state of our environment, the missing of a lost love. You don’t like to stand still and think about these things too much. To you it’s just clutter hold-ing you back from crossing what-ever finish line. You feel light as a feather this month.

tAuRuS21 April–21 MayThings never happen

the way you try to engineer them. This makes you experience life like you’re a pinball in a pinball ma-chine. You feel dizzy this month and wish things would just go tilt so as to stop this silly nonsense.

GEMINI22 May–21 June

The feeling of déjà vu you’re ex-periencing seems déjà vu-ish, which in itself seems déjà vu-ish, which again in itself seems déjà vu-ish, and so on ad infini-tum, spiralling you into an end-less series of déjà vus. You’ve real-ly seen it all before. Except Paris. You’ve never been to Paris. You don’t speak a word of the lan-guage. You also don’t speak Lat-in, but that’s because it’s a dead language. Funny how death, be-ing a once-in-a-lifetime experi-ence, cannot have the qualities of a déjà vu, you think. Well, in some countries it might. Then again: you also don’t speak Hin-di. You go out to buy papadams.

These Seattle-based psych rockers have shared stages with the likes of Black Lips and The Black Angels, with whom they’re also involved in vari-ous side projects – and presumably various drug-fuelled shenanigans. Since two of their three members hail from Texas, it should come as little surprise that their brand of 21st-century psych tips its cowboy hat to Lone Star State psych legends such as 13th Floor Elevators, Lost and Found and Golden Dawn, with guitar work more blazing than the desert sun and a rhythm sec-tion that’s not to be messed with.

ist Dance Event that heralds a grounded reevaluation of the unchallenged, dogmatic desire for (economic) growth. The relentless noisemaker and for-mer Yellow Swans member’s deformed warehouse techno sound has be-come progressively more menacing and more authoritative.

The Fresh & Onlys06 June - OT301, Amsterdam (w/ Baby Trips)

This prolific San Francisco outfit channels muses ranging from jangly psy-chedelia and Western soundtrack twang to punk revivalism, ’60s pop and garage rock, and their effortlessly melodic, old school-sounding tunes are and catchy enough to get parents’ toes tapping and modern-day kids shak-ing their hips. Their latest album, 2012’s Long Slow Dance, recalls the Cure in the best way possible, and is among the most effectively poppy and ro-mantic releases to emerge from the new garage rock movement.

His new EP, Still Awake, showcases Hemsworth’s unique sonic ex-plorations into uncharted hip hop and R&B worlds.


The Babies + Waxahatchee15 June - EKKO, Utrecht

20.00 | €8 | Free for Subbacultcha! members

While it’s risky for a woman rapidly approaching spinsterhood to talk about loving babies, thankfully I can openly profess my love for Brooklyn’s The Ba-bies. Originally conceived by Woods bassist Kevin Morby and Vivian Girls’ Cassie Ramone as an outlet for exchanging song ideas, touring has helped The Babies mature into a proper band. Last year they delivered their sec-ond album, Our House on the Hill, a bundle of joyous garage pop swaddled in country vibes, lovably unpretentious lyricism and melodies catchy enough to take root in even the most sterile of hearts. Start your night feeling like someone flipped you upside down and slapped you till you cried (and were alive) with some emotionally raw folk from Waxahatchee.

Their powerful live shows have helped them build a devoted interna-tional following.

Blues Control + Idiot Glee20 June - OCCII, Amsterdam

20.30 | €7 | Free for Subbacultcha! membersAfter Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse had played new-age music together for some time under the name Watersports, they formed Blues Control to try their hands at experimental psychedelia. Most recently, RVNG Intl. paired them with zither maestro Laraaji for the label’s FRKWYS series, yielding an album that was surprisingly organic and effortless sounding – especial-ly given that it was entirely improvised and recorded in a single day. Open-er James Friley is a super productive figure in the music scene of his Lex-ington, Kentucky hometown. Besides making idiosyncratic and soulful synth pop as Idiot Glee, he also co-owns a record label, books shows, DJs on the radio, plays bass in Street Gnar and composes film soundtracks. Clearly not a man to slow down, his new EP, Life Without Jazz, is his most adventur-ous release yet.

Echokamer: Dustin Wong28 June - Mediamatic Fabriek, Amsterdam


Compared to the spastic art-rock of his main gig, Ponytail, guitarist Dustin Wong’s solo work is considerably more meditative. Last year Wong released his third album, Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads, on which he uses only guitar and effects pedals to weave together altered, looped and layered guitar sounds into an intricate and hypnotic sonic tapestry. Given the limit-ed tools he works with, he conjures up a surprising amount of good materi-al, and fans of the upbeat experimentation of Ponytail, Battles and Delicate Steve should find plenty to enjoy here.

Focus Agenda

Fuck Buttons We haven’t heard from Bris-tol’s seminal anthemic electro-noise duo since they released Tarot Sport in 2009. With their new album Slow Focus due out in July, and only a handful of touring dates, this’ll be an opportunity to witness the pair and their new material live. Don’t miss out!

Black Dice These vets have a penchant for messing around with uncompromising-ly weird noises, pushing the boundaries of experimental sound and churning out what may best be described as extraterrestrial electronic jazz punk. They’ve been doing it for over 15 years and counting.

No Age LA’s noisy art-punks No Age hardly need any introduction. Renowned for their raucous, moshpit-inducing live sets, they’ve won Best Subbacultcha! Show of the Year twice. Need we say more?

Kurt Vile On his latest effort, Waking on a Pretty Daze, Philly’s resident childish prodi-

gy and purveyor of carefree, acoustic-driven psych-folk creates the perfect haze for your summer festival bliss.

Autre Ne Veut With his new album Anxiety, Ashin reveals a fleshed-out and bombas-tic version of the oft-minimalist, avant-R&B. To say nothing of his visceral and confront-ing live sets.

Doldrums Airick Woodhead’s panicky, an-drogynous freakouts lead you through a wonderland of chopped-up samples and psychedelic electronics as they momentarily grasp then lose their grip on pop melodies.

The Child of Lov Months of speculation, and MF Doom and Damon Albarn features on his self-titled debut, have sent the inter-net hype-machine into overdrive. He hasn’t played a live show yet either and this might very well be the only one.

Best Kept SecretThis new indie festival focuses exclusively on music, with a ridiculous-

ly strong line-up. The festival’s gorgeous site, with its forest, beach and swimming area, should make an idyllic setting for learning musi-cal secrets you can’t bear to keep to yourself. We browsed through

the extensive line-up and selected some highlights.

Agenda Focus

Christian Marclay In his awkward but virtuoso take on turnta-blism artist Christian Marclay scratched re-cords pasted together from actual shards of broken vinyl. That was in the ’80s. At the 2011 Venice Biennale he baffled every-one with his 24-hour video installation The Clock, built from countless film scenes with actual clocks. In his performance Everyday at this year’s Holland Festival he mixes hun-dreds of film fragments live on stage into a visual score for four musical improvisers. In another concert, called The Bell and The Glass & Shuffle & Screen Play, two of his earlier ‘video scores’ will be put to the test by ensemble MAZE, who will also perform Shuffle, Marclay’s musical score in the form of a card game. Brooklyn to Berlin ft. Lee RanaldoAnd now for something completely differ-ent from Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, known for doing harmonic wonders to guitars by shoving screwdrivers between their strings or by dangling them from wires. The classi-cal string players of Solistenensemble Ka-leidoskop will adapt his new composition, performing it alongside 18th-century music and 21st-century video art.

The PyreIn her dark sceneries French-Austrian the-atre director Gisèle Vienne subverts our ideas of good and bad. The Pyre is like a hall of mirrors in which a female dancer and a boy try to escape the plot’s ominous twists. The droning soundscape will be per-formed live by KTL featuring Peter Rehberg (Pita) and Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))). Hildur GudnadóttirThe Icelandic cellist who came to promi-nence with indie band múm now presents her hypnotic, immersive solo performance, in which she combines cello, voice and electronics with customised wooden sound sculptures. L.A. Dance ProjectThe renowned Los Angeles dance compa-ny, referred to more often as an artists’ col-lective will, perform new work by Benjamin Millepied, choreographer of Natalie Port-man’s Oscar-winning steps in ballet horror flick Black Swan – and now her husband – plus radical works by Merce Cunningham and William Forsyth.

Night Beats31 May - Vera, Groningen

01 June - De Nieuwe Anita, Amsterdam02 June - AreaFiftyOne, Eindhoven

These 21st-century psych rockers tip their hats to Texas psych legends such as 13th Floor Elevators, Lost and Found and Gold-en Dawn, with guitar work more blazing than the desert sun and a rhythm section that’s not to be messed with. Read more on page 55.

Pete Swanson01 June - WORM, Rotterdam

Relentless noisemaker Pete Swanson re-turns to Rotterdam for another of his trade-mark beat-laden, eardrum annihilating per-formances. Read more on page 55.

Sleazefest01 June - Timboektoe, Wijk aan Zee

Organised by Amsterdam organ punk duo

zZz, Sleazefest offers up a once-a-year chance to spend a day fully immersed in sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll (and punk, ga-rage and surf) and maybe even a little bit more sex if you’re lucky. The remote loca-tion should allow for plenty of mayhem, so be sure to pack your wet wipes – it’s gonna get sleazy up in there.

The Night of Saying Sounds 01 June - Extrapool, Nijmegen

Extrapool prides itself on offering experi-ments that might go wrong. They undo mu-sic. During this evening’s experiment, they will undo music by way of a line-up of in-ternational artists who intertwine strange sounds, noises, experimental singing and poetry in bizarre, beautiful and inspir-ing ways.

skills to bands like Teeth Mountain, Dan Deacon and art-metal band Liturgy before forming Guardian Alien back in 2010, leav-ing a black hole in Liturgy’s line-up when he departed last year to focus exclusively on the new project. Guardian Alien’s 2012 sophomore album, See the World Given to a One Love Entity, is a colossal and relentless-ly intense 37-minute single-track meditation so heavy and so psychedelic, it’ll pummel you into a trance and might very well trans-port you to a higher plane in the process.

Nomeansno04 June - Doornroosje, Nijmegen

The Wright brothers arguably invented math rock when they formed Nomeansno back in 1979. Their trademark mix of complex, jazz-influenced instrumentation with punk and hardcore energy and lyrics laced with black humour has in any case proved highly in-fluential. While their famously tight perfor-mances are reason enough to show up, this occasion is extra urgent since it may very well be their last tour, and therefore proba-bly your last chance to yell, ‘SHUT UP, YOU BITCH! OR I’LL KILL YOU!’ at the top of your lungs without getting any funny looks.

Ghostpoet05June-Paradiso,Amsterdam

06 June - BIRD, RotterdamThis British experimental hip hop artist, aka Obaro Ejimiwe, has been likened to a more adventurous and more ‘indie’ Roots Manuva, delivering spoken-word meditations over al-ternately trip hoppy and Radiohead-evoking production. Given his quintessentially Brit-ish grab bag of influences, it’s no shock that his 2011 debut, Peanut Butter Blues & Mel-ancholy Jam, was nominated for a Mercury Prize (though he got out-Britished by even-tual winner PJ Harvey). His second, more accessible album, Some Say I So I Say Light, just dropped last month.

The Fresh & Onlys06June-OT301,Amsterdam

07 June - Vera, Groningen08June-AreaFiftyOne,Eindhoven

This prolific San Francisco lo-fi outfit chan-nels muses ranging from jangly psychede-lia and Western-soundtrack twang to punk revivalism, ’60s pop, garage rock and even The Cure. Read more on page 56.

Ryan Hemsworth07June-TrouwdeVerdieping,AmsterdamOn his original productions, this Canadian producer-cum-remixer-cum-DJ showcases his unique sonic explorations into uncharted regions of the worlds of hip hop and R&B. Read more on page 56.

Zes07 June - Effenaar, Eindhoven

This beatmaker and multi-instrumentalist from the City of Lights constellates his at-mospheric compositions with melancholic melodies, his own voice and subtle guitars to produce impressively accomplished-sounding, blissed-out electronica. He put out his acclaimed debut LP, Outcry, last summer; this spring found him wowing Sub-bacultcha! audiences at Listen to This and Autre Ne Veut; and this summer finds him finally giving his first performance in his hometown.

Marnie Stern07June-Paradiso,Amsterdam

08 June - EKKO, UtrechtThe latest album from fidgety finger-tap-ping guitar goddess Marnie Stern, The Chronicles of Marnia, finds her working with a new drummer after losing long-time collaborator Zach Hill to Death Grips, as well as working with a producer for the first time. The end result is sparser sounding

and more sharply focused on Stern’s vocals than her previous work. Stern’s onstage banter may very well bemuse you, but her technical wizardry is sure to dazzle, and all the single guys out there should note that she’s been known to set up kissing booths at shows.

The Zombies08June-Paradiso,Amsterdam

Despite having originally formed over 50(!) years ago, this iconic British psych-pop band, known for classics like ‘Time of the Season’, ‘She’s Not There’ and ‘This Will Be Our Year’, has continued to record and per-form in one incarnation or another into the 21st century. The band’s latest configura-tion, which features two founding members, released the well-received Breathe Out, Breathe In in 2011, and tours with a regu-larity you’d be lucky to have if you were in your 70s.

Chromatics + Glass Candy10June-Paradiso,Amsterdam

Whether Italians do, in fact, do ‘it’ better re-ally depends on what ‘it’ is, but in the case of disco they’re certainly at the head of the pack, and the New Jersey label sufficiently convinced of this fact to name themselves ‘Italians Do It Better’ has been leading the 21st-century disco revival. Co-label head Johnny Jewel is directly involved with sev-eral of the label’s acts, including Chromat-ics and Glass Candy. Although Chromat-ics made punk music for several years, they remained obscure until all but one original member left, Ruth Radelet, Nat Walker and Jewel came on board and the track ‘Tick of the Clock’ (from their 2007 album Night Drive) blew audiences’ minds in the open-ing scene of Drive. Their epic and eclec-tic 2012 album, Kill for Love, is poppier and leaner than its predecessor, and one of that year’s best. Glass Candy, meanwhile, offers

up a more experimental twist on the label’s signature sound.

Austra10June-Bitterzoet,Amsterdam

This Toronto dark synth-pop group makes ‘classical music with really fucked-up, dis-torted, crazy shit on there’, melding the the-atricality of Kate Bush with the dark atmo-sphere of The Knife in a way that’s operatic without being melodramatic, irresistibly danceable and totally spellbinding.

AAA-Serie / Memento Mori12-18 June - Various Locations,

AmsterdamLike the old Roman saying that once gleamed on their silver drinking cups, June’s six-day AAA-series festival, a the-matic exploration of the links between mu-sic, culture and contemporary issues, is a staunch reminder that we are all mortal.

Citizens!14 June - Westergasfabriek

(Machinegebouw),AmsterdamAfter previous editions in London, Ber-lin, Lisbon and Milan with the likes of Twin Shadow and Delorean, Singular Festival’s first stop of 2013 is Amsterdam and along for the ride are London synth-pop five-piece Citizens!.

you’ll feel liberated in a different way. Just stay away from any hot chicks that offer you an apple.

The Babies15 June - EKKO, Utrecht

16June-Paradiso,Amsterdam18 June - Vera, Groningen

On their latest album, The Babies deliver a bundle of joyous garage pop swaddled in country vibes, lovably unpretentious lyricism and melodies catchy enough to take root in even the most sterile of hearts. Read more on page 57.

Waxahatchee15 June - EKKO, Utrecht (with The Babies)

26June-Paradiso,AmsterdamWaxahatchee singer-songwriter Ka-tie Crutchfield makes stripped-down, hy-per-personal but highly relatable and gut-wrenching electrified folk. Read more on page 57.

Nisennenmondai16 June - WORM, Rotterdam

19 June - Incubated at 013, TilburgThis Japanese all-girl trio named after the Japanese name for the Y2K bug weds the chaos of noise with the inexorability of krautrock and enough danceable grooves to suggest they like to party like it’s 1999. Read more on page 57.

Idiot Glee19 June - Incubated at 013, Tilburg

20June-OCCII,Amsterdam (with Blues Control)

Besides juggling co-running a label, play-ing bass in Street Gnar and a million other things, James Friley also makes idiosyncrat-ic and soulful synth-pop as Idiot Glee. Read more on page 59.

Blues Control 20June-OCCII,Amsterdam

(with Idiot Glee)

Lea Cho and Russ Waterhouse played new-age music together for some time under the name Watersports before forming Blues Control to try their hands at experimental psychedelia. Read more on page 59.

Wampire + SSION21June-MCTheater,Amsterdam

Wampire’s breezy organ-driven pop some-times sounds like Ric Ocasek and the synth player from Dire Straits decided to reimag-ine ‘Walk of Life’ as the soundtrack for a long night drive after a breakup. Read more on page 59.

Best Kept Secret Festival ft. Doldrums, Autre Ne Veut,

Allah-Las, Black Lips, Kurt Vile, King Krule and more

21-23 June - Beekse Bergen, HilvarenbeekThis new indie festival focuses exclusively on music, with a ridiculously strong line-up in which not-so-secret bands like Sigur Ros and Arctic Monkeys draw you in, only to be wowed by some of the best new names in indie, folk, hip hop, rock and electronica. Read more on page 69.

Grauzone Summer Special21June-OT301,Amsterdam

New wave emerged alongside punk as a reaction to the over-produced, uninspired popular music of the early ’70s, but gradu-ally came to refer to bands more interested in experimentation, lyrical complexity and polished production. Given the current cor-porate cultural milieu, it’s no surprise that the genre has seen a resurgence in recent years. The summer edition of this new fes-tival links classic new wave bands with con-

temporary artists embracing the genre’s original anarchic ethos.

Gold Panda + Letherette21June-Melkweg,Amsterdam

With a name like Derwin Schlecker, Gold Panda was destined to find a profession that justified the use of a stage name. Hap-pily his choice was to make ecstatic, shim-mering electronica flecked with bits of hip hop and folk. Lifelong pals and rising UK electro duo Letherette should get the party started right with their joyous and untamed bursts of funky bass, irresistible beats, and slabs of rapturous melodies.

Aril Brikha (Live) + FCL (San Soda & Red D)

22 June - Doornoosje, NijmegenJust in time for the official start of sum-mer, Doornroosje hosts an electronica night that is sure to heat things up on the dance floor. Headliner Aril Brikha was born in Iran but moved to Sweden at an early age. Af-ter developing an interest in electronic acts like Depeche Mode in his teens, Brikha started composing his own music, inadver-tently stumbling upon a distinctly Detroit-techno flavoured sound in the process. He sent a demo to Derrick May’s Transmat Re-cords, and has been making warm, melod-ic house- and techno-influenced electron-ica ever since. We Play House’s San Soda and Red D will keep the party going till the wee hours.

Neu/Now Live Festival22-26June-variouslocations,AmsterdamThe European League for Institutes of the Arts’ 5th annual edition of its innovative on-line and live platform for emerging artistic talent showcases a carefully curated selec-tion of work from graduating artists and re-cent graduates.

Chelsea Light Moving25 June - Vera, Groningen

26 June - Doornroosje, Nijmegen27 June - Tivoli de Helling, Utrecht

Rather than hook up with a hot young floo-zy, Big Lebowski-style, Thurston Moore de-cided to follow up his split with wife and fellow Sonic Youth bandmate Kim Gordon, and their band’s consequent indefinite hia-tus, with a new project that’s heavier and more dissonant than his recent solo albums and Sonic Youth’s last release, 2009’s now somewhat ironically titled The Eternal. Chel-sea Light Moving’s self-titled 2013 debut takes notes from heavy metal and hardcore punk, genres that his main act shied away from in their later work, suggesting that Moore is making the most of his newfound freedom to shred.

FIDLAR26 June - Tivoli de Helling, Utrecht

The name of this LA skate-punk quartet is an acronym for ‘Fuck It Dog, Life’s A Risk’, and at least on record they live according to this mantra with an almost religious dedica-tion. Alternately evoking the Black Lips, the Descendents, Wavves and even Blink-182, they make risky business like surfing, skat-ing, drinking cheap beer, doing cheap co-caine, smoking cheap weed and taking shitty pills sound like so much fun, you’ll be ready to convert as well.

Dustin Wong28June-MediamaticFabriek,Amsterdam

29 June - Vera, GroningenWith his solo work, Ponytail guitarist Dustin Wong weaves together altered, looped and layered guitar sounds into an intricate and hypnotic sonic tapestry. The Amsterdam show is hosted at Mediamatics social/en-vironmental experiment, Freezing Favela Read more on page 61.
