It’s surprising to learn that a band as energetically noisy as Portland Oregon’s The Thermals are approaching their tenth anniversary. It feels like only

yesterday they showed up jetlagged at Metropolis Festival for their Dutch debut. In reality it was the summer of 2003. They’d just launched their debut album More Parts Per Million via Sub Pop and the single ‘No Culture Icons’ was resonating around indie discos. The young band seemed shocked that so many were already familiar with the lo-fi garage punk they thrashed through.

The energy of the songs was so pure back in those days, it was hard to imagine them evolving beyond it. But lead duo Hutch Harris and Kathy Foster have succeeded in realigning focus on subsequent albums. Their third release in particular, The Body, the Blood, the Machine, brought a swell of religious and political imagery to Harris’ lyrics. It was devised in the dark days of the Bush era, but even now, Harris isn’t relaxed about the state of politics in the US. ‘We’re still involved in two wars that appear to be endless

and we’re getting involved in a third conflict!’ he exclaims. ‘We still don’t have good healthcare and the rich keep getting tax breaks.’ And while Obama has officially launched his next campaign for office, what if he loses? The alternatives are a President Gingrich (less renowned in Europe) or President Palin. ‘Newt Gingrich is as boring as he is horrible. He’s a cheater and a hypocrite. Palin will bring about the end of the world. She’s a fucking nut job, pure and simple.’

On latest album Personal Life, the band has broken away from politics, starting in a new direction once more. It’s less frantic than their earlier releases and the single ‘I Don’t Believe You’ may even be the catchiest song they’ve recorded. Was it deliberate? ‘Yeah, it was all intentional,’ he says. ‘We’re always trying to make our songs as fun and catchy as pos-sible. This time it’s very sparse. There’s a lot of space and no guitar overdubs; just one doubled lead vocal. We just wanted to make a record that was clean and simple. Personal Life is that record.’

The Thermals play De Verdieping on 21 April. Support from The Coathangers, TV Buddhas (who’ll participate in a special Seeing Sounds film programme), plus a Die Like Disco! afterparty.

A flash in the canBy Monte Bergamont

BEELDDRAGERS ExPOSE EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

We’ve all seen the pictures before: bleary-eyed youths, mouths agape and arm-in-arm, some yelling something at the camera, others

on the verge of collapse, others just plain collapsed. The photos are too dark in places, too light in others, blurry where they shouldn’t be and too sharp where they really need to be blurred. While amateur event photographs have been a part of popular culture for as long as we can remember, Amsterdam ‘cultural collective’ Beelddragers’ latest SCENE exhibition features work from six up-and-coming photographers and aims to show this rather maligned art-form in a completely different light.

‘Some of the photographers we knew, some we researched and some we might even have stalked,’ explains Tjade Bouma from Beelddragers. ‘Our purpose with this exhibition is to show the diversity of this type of photography. We tried to select a variety of different photographers who all have their own style and operate in different scenes – from gay to straight, commercial to underground and everything in between.’

The result is a surprisingly haunting collection of tableaux vivants. Clubbers are frozen mid-air on the dance floor or mid-stare in a bathroom mirror reflection, couples are caught in the act and singles sit alone. Yet all are shot with a professional eye, and it’s this that is key. ‘Where you normally see pretty blonde girls posing with their pretty blonde friends, we want to display the experimental and surprising side to event photography. You might recognise yourself in one scene, and then might be amazed by another,’ says Bouma.

While SCENE focuses on event photography in particular, Beelddragers are organisers and initiators of a host of events and exhibitions in the city. When asked about upcoming plans, Bouma coyly states: ‘We try to show images in original ways and places. Next on our wish list is using Amsterdam as a canvas.’ And when asked for ‘talent to watch out for’, Bouma is just as cautious: ‘Picking just one feels wrong. We like to think all the people we work with are worth looking out for. So get your butt off the couch and come to Beelddragers doet SCENE!’

BEELDDRAGERS doet SCENE, De Wittenplaats, de Wittenstraat 27, 15 April, Opening 20.00. Until 17 April
