Time: 19:30
Entrance: FREE

Droom Dit
Droom Dit is a six-headed band with electric stage energy and all-disclosing autobiographical songs. Their songs sound like deep love slowly slipping away, the deadliness of loneliness, or a bloodthirsty desire for mental calmness. The poetic lyrics are accompanied by a modern mix of raw electric beats, dreamy guitar riffs, and cutting synthesizers. One request only: dance, scream, sing and dream along with Droom Dit.
Puck Verras
Puck Verras is a visual artist who explores worldbuilding, art direction, and costume design. Their work typically incorporates a narrative element and has a campy and whimsical style that allows for the exploration of complex issues in a more accessible way. By using this approach, beyond stigmatic boundaries, they aim to combat desensitization by building a more empathetic world where people can feel comfortable sharing their stories and caring for one another.
Gedachtespinsel
Elliot is a musician, actor, and loves to dance and tell stories. Every detail in our world possesses a story, and in his creative process Elliot loves to take you along to discover them all. As a musician he is part of the feminist punkband TRUI as a multi-instrumentalist. Styled as ‘Gedachtespinsel’ he writes his own songs about growing older, not fitting in, being a bad plant parent, and capitalism.
HOEDAT
HOEDAT spells out House of Entertrainment, Dance, Animation & Theater. As a creative business it tackles everything in the field of entertainment, providing theater in the streets, party entertainment, and hilarious character archetypes without batting an eyelash. Right now it is working on it’s first full-fledged musical production ‘Queerland’ in collaboration with MIAUW. This musical presents a comical adventure in a country where everybody is LGBT+ – or aren’t they all?
THU 12 OCT

OPENING NIGHT: ART EXHIBITION – “OUTSIDE INSIDE” BY LAWRENCE JAMES BAILEY + THEMED DINNER + LIVE MUSIC: GRENS
TANKSTATION IS OPENING AGAIN!!! Come by for a jam packed opening night – starting off with an art exhibition opening from artist Lawrence James Bailey, then a themed dinner based on his art, and finishing off with some live music by Grens. Don’t miss out!
Lawrence James Bailey (b.1976) grew up in the post-industrial ruins of 1980’s Britain before studying Fine Art at the Hull School of Art and later at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. His interest in geography, history, counterculture, folklore, protest movements and his background in theatrical set design serve as reference in his drawings and sculptures. Peoples relationship with the landscape forms the core to this work – in particular how individuals can be historically connected to the land through deeply rooted folk stories, struggle and beliefs.
“I’m always fascinated in marginalised landscapes and no-mans-lands; areas on the edge of cities which are normally banished from our sense of what is pastoral or romantic. I depict these bastard spaces as being in flux, unstable, uncertain and mysterious, just like the people who thrive within them.”
Lawrence currently lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
