In March and April, Tankstation and SoundUnbound will start doing live music every Saturday! There will be local bands, national bands and international touring bands every week!
Want to help? Become a volunteer! Send a direct message to SoundUnbound records.
ALICE DEE (DE)
Powerful, raw and poetic. Alice Dee fires rap salvos at 140 BPM, a hail of words in changing flows raining down on a the crowd over attractive hiphop and grime beats. Her lyrics are about the reality of daily life, but also about looking forward to a new world.
At the last Booster festival FAVST was one of the highlights. Which is remarkable, since it was one of her first gigs ever. FAVST is the cynical yet humorous alter ego of musician and filmmaker Marie-Anne Faustinelli. Her beats are ominous and danceable, her lyrics are socially critical and literal.
BEATS AFFECT
Local crew Beats Affect, existing from Odaira, Daparohu & Luw, finishes the night with a set of banging lofi hiphop, breakbeat and Drum & Bass.

DINNER + LIVE BAND: Monsieur Doumani
Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00) grab some drinks and enjoy the music of Monsieur Doumani from Cyprus
Yes! The show Monsieur Doumani did at Tankstation in May 2022 still brings smiles to our faces and the urge to dance to our feet. We are very happy that this awesome band from Cyprus will return to our Tankstations stage.
The members of this trio come from Nicosia (Cyprus) but all have different musical backgrounds. However, they are all enamoured of the traditional Cypriot music on various levels. Their compositions combine traditional Cypriot sounds as well as the shaky conditions of today’s era forming a style distinctively their own.
With their new album, released by Glitterbeat Records in September 2021, they take it one step further, adding a full, raw-edged psychedelic sound to their music. Their music is sometimes reminiscent of vintage Greek styles, other times of 70s Turkish psychpop and psychrock, but always with their own, distinctive flavour.
In those 10 years, Monsieur Doumani played successful concerts all over the world, from Womad to Sziget, from Paradiso to Mupa.

BHAJAN BHOY
When Ajay Saggar a.k.a. will walk on stage at Tankstation it will not be the first time. About five years ago his former band King Champion Sounds did an impressive show with a seven piece band. For Bhajan Bhoy Ajay tours with a smaller setup and only two people on stage.
Being a musical fanatic, Saggar getss his influences from the obscurities of musical history and recent music, as is showcased in his regular Kosmos Club radioshows at WORM Radio, which explores a kaleidoscopic sonic universe with raga-esque excursions, meditative Dream House drone, folk, dub, electronic soundscapes and heavy guitar riffola (sometimes two chords are enough!).

VEGAN DINNER + SYNTH101 WORKSHOP
Join us at Tankstation for a delicious vegan 3-course dinner, and then grab a drink and hang out with your friends, or check out the workshop: SYNTH101

What is a modular SYNTHesizer, what can you do with it and how does it work?
You’ve probably seen them, musicians staring intensely at a box with wires sticking out of them , looking like the doomsday device from an 80’s action movie.
They call it a synthesizer but depending on the modules you choose you can design setups for all sorts of functions of course you can play it with a keyboard but you could also make a theremin or use touch sensors and make a sound installation you can use sequencers and design a setup for specific genres like drones, techno, ambient or hip hop the possibilities are endless.
In modular 101 we are going to look in to the different building blocks that make up a modular synthesizer. Then look at how a few modules can be used in different ways to demonstrate the flexibility of a small system.
In this introduction we are going to look at:
Oscillators, filters, modulators, mixers, effects, attenuators.
While looking at these core elements of modular we will make a drone piece to see them in a practical example. After that a demonstration of some of the more advanced modules and techniques.

In March and April, Tankstation and SoundUnbound will start doing live music every Saturday! There will be local bands, national bands and international touring bands every week!
Want to help? Become a volunteer! Send a direct message to SoundUnbound records.
OLAF PUTKER & THE SCENIC SOUND
With contemporary indie and seventies folk as a starting point, Olaf Putker & the Scenic Sound sounds like a mix of Wilco, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith and Netherland’s own Daryll-Ann. Since he was eight years old, Olaf has been roaming record stores and sleazbars to perform his songs. As a result he has grown into an accomplished songwriter at a relatively young age. In early 2020 he joined forces with the Scenic Sound, consisting of Nathan Becker (lead guitar), Len Harmsen (drums) and Boaz Kuizenga (bass guitar). You can hear controlled americana from time to time, but their songs often culminate in a rebellious wall of sound, invariably delivered with adolescent and brutal energy.
More info soon.

Rotterdam seems to be a nerve center for cool guitar bands these days. Bands like Tramhaus and Smudged are going to the big stages, and the next-in-lines are ready to join the party.

It used to be complicated to find local bands to support a band like Kalaallit Nunaat, but Bitter Expo is a perfect fit. Noisy, hypnotic and avant-gardish repetitiveness. Straight from Enschede.

DINNER + LIVE BANDS: ANN BLU + LANCE PRIESTER & COEUR
Come by and enjoy a delicious meal, grab some drinks and enjoy the music of Ann Blu and Lance Priester & Coeur.
Enschede got to know Lance Priester though his performance last year at the Booster Festival where he did a stellar performance at Metropool. One year later we are looking forward to seeing a more evolved show with his band Coeur. Lance Priester grew up in France, studied in London for a few years and ended up in Tilburg looking for musicians with a similar intention. He has found it in his band Coeur, French for heart.
ANN BLU
She is a big fan of recycling, which is why Ann Blu’s music has strong references to the past. Her ‘intelligent pop’ holds elements of Steely Dan as well as Amy Winehouse and immerses listeners in a warm bath of guitar and keys grounded by a steady groove. Lyrics can be philosofical as well as ordinary while expressing daily routine from unexpected perspective.

Bronwyn Isaac is a New York stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster who loves being professionally ridiculous. She can be seen on Showtime, Sundance TV, and MTV. You can read her published comedy and pop culture reporting in Vice, Paper Mag, Bustle, Reductress, Someecards, and Alternet. Or you can find her haunting your local cemetery.
Karan is an Indian who’s a psychologist, polyamorous and a life coach. If that doesn’t scream out wannabe sex guru we don’t know what else does. He still posesses the stereotypical qualities of your regular indian guy: he’s an engineer, likes spicy food, wears flip flops and also worked in a call center before. So you may ask why he‘s here today? To get more followers for his cult! Because when you work with people for more than 10 years, there is so much content you‘d be stupid not to fiddle around a hobby as a stand up comedian with it! Therefore he’s not really a funny guy, he just finds things funny and is hoping to be laughed at more than laughed with.
Born into a Reagan-era hunter-gatherer society in Alaska, Kendra started playing saxophone at age 8 inspired by the musical stylings of Lisa Simpson. After surviving the treacherous journey down the infamous Alaskan-Canadian hi-way in 1999 to study music in Oregon, she finally left the US once and for all in 2004.In search of a better life (and an affordable Master’s degree) she bought a one-way ticket to Amsterdam never to look back. Since it turns out you cannot pay rent in exposure and beer tokens she started guiding people around the city in 2010, and now performs comedy by night.

It embraces being human in all its differences, recognizing the external guidelines that judge, status positions that classify, and the human desire to be seen. Speaking out against boundaries and patterns of expectation, she stands up for the authentic human, precious and soft as velvet.

HEAL ROYALE: HYBRID SYMPOSIUM DINNER
The Symposium of The Overkill Heal Royale is an Hybrid Dinner accessible on site and online. You can be a participant (on site guests and online guests) or watch from a distance (via the stream).
The first part is an online cooking show. While the speakers cook a recipe they share their research. You can follow the cooking show online and cook along.
The on-site dinner guests take care of the online guests to create a collective and connecting experience. Linked to each course is a question to which the online guests can respond via Mentimeter. The platform is used as a connection between all participants.
In this symposium we will get inspired by the pleasure of eating and the multiple sensations food can give us to rethink our relation to the digital. We are using dinner rituals to help us discover new ways to behave with our screens and within a digitised reality.
