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.

VAMOS
The name Planet Of Sound is inspired by a Pixies song, so nothing is a better match than letting a Pixies tribute band play at the 7 year celebration. Vamos comes from Wageningen and the singers both have a serious Black Francis/Kim Deal vibe going on. Be sure to check them out.
PLANET OF SOUND SYSTEM
As it should be at any record store, the owner and employees are serious selectors and play a mean set of vinyl between sets. Ronny, Pat & Mat, and the Single Girls are members of the Planet of Sound System.

ROSA VERTOV:
This all-female band from Warsaw brings distorted guitars immersed in reverb, resonant, vibrating bass, trancey drums with a distinctive floor tom presence and ghostly organ sound, combined with four ethereal voices.
Dissonant, restless compositions soaked in melancholy that send listeners into a dreamlike world.

DINNER + LIVE COMEDY!!
Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00), grab some drinks, and laugh your backside off because Silk Route Comedy is back, baby!!
Sharon Em
Sharon Em fluctuates between trying hard and hardly trying. Mostly found on her couch plotting how to realise her life goal of having pints with Tommy Tiernan (main life inspiration). Or pondering if straight bananas will ever be a thing! Her best friends describe her as ‘who?’
Michael Jäger
An Amsterdam-based Comedian, Storyteller and Producer from Germany.
Michael studied Psychology and Economics. After studying Economics he despised business people. After studying Psychology he despised all people. And after starting comedy he fell in love with people.
Tim Hill
Tim Hill is a recovering cynic. A backpacker who settled down to become a dad. A sweet guy with a sting in his tail. But above all, a smartass who loves referring to himself in the third person (he really does). Tim does not approve of people calling him a hipster – meaning he probably is one – and sees the world as a meaningless yet endlessly fascinating place. Tim is cheap, clean and sustainable and is therefore considered by many to be a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
Luana-Elena Matei
Luana is a young, up-and-coming Romanian comedian who is mostly active in the Amsterdam scene. Her comedy is funny, insightful, and deftly encapsulates her many experiences of having lived all over the world!

Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00), grab some drinks, and dance the night away to our live band coming in from Germany!
A shape-shifting blend of driving Krautrock aesthetics, vivid psychedelic pop and techno-indebted electronics, Flying Moon In Space’s ambitious first full-length album was released recently with Fuzz Club Records.
Although they cite influences that span the likes of Can, Neu!, Brian Eno and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, ‘Flying Moon In Space’ is an album indebted to the band’s own experimental live approach more than anything else.
Flying Moon In Space are a six-piece band from Leipzig, Germany born out of live improvisations experimenting with different rhythms, layers of sounds and other textures which are known to last hours at a time. Their improvised live shows typically see them perform with four guitars, bass, drums and vocals, resulting in huge walls of sound that are awash with hypnotic motorik beats and orchestral walls of reverb.

Nicolai has been working with visual arts for almost 5 years now, he paints freely but often with a deep and already conceived idea.
“My idea is often a melancholic dream world, sometimes about death but also things that never die. To be immortalized. A make-believe world, a world when you were little, a kind childish spring. What this life should be I think.
But sometimes it passes by, especially with creative people who change often, who don’t really belong anywhere. The ‘moon child’ who has no real purpose in life, but lives in being. This is sometimes difficult for me and we are often removed from it by society and the system.
I see and feel that deep fragrant flower of innocence and love in my work.”

Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00), grab some drinks, and dance the night away to our live band all the way from Columbia!
Every now and then, traditions need to be redefined.
The music scene in Bogota, Colombia is renewing its traditional music. Vallenato, Peruvian Chicha, Colombian Raspa, Champeta Criolla, African sounds and Cumbia all make part of the new style that is exposed in the Colombian music scene. Bands such as Los Pirañas, Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero and Chupame El Dedo all are inspired to combine modern experiments with traditional music, while still keeping it danceable and loads of fun.
Of those bands, who all have the same pool of rotating musicians, Los Pirañas has the rawest of performances, with an out of control computer, a distorted Surf/Peruvian Chicha´s guitar and a rhythmic madman behind the drums.
Los Pirañas revel with humour, noise, none-solemnity and a hard groove a lysergic surprise, perfect to enjoy the psychedelic connections between Champeta, Afrobeat, Rock and Cumbia.

KOREAN NIGHT @ TANKSTATION
We invite you to board on a short trip to the other side of the globe together with us! On the 26th of May, Tankstation hosts a Korean themed night with food, music and more.
We will serve a full plate of delicious Korean food and a specialty drink. After dinner, you can have fun playing a variety of Korean games. If you feel competitive, a Ddakji tournament will take place in the evening, which you can freely join! If you don’t already know it, Ddakji is a traditional Korean game played using folded paper (you might have heard of it from Squid Game). At the end of the tournament, the winner gets a prize.
For this themed night, our cozy space will be fully decorated in Korean style and Korean music will play throughout the whole night. So if you like kpop, come along and bring your friends as well!
And for our Korean guests, we hope you can find a bit of your home’s comfort here at Tankstation

In this workshop, we will focus on interior photography, especially in dark spaces. We’ll go over some of the technical bits, and then quickly move on to the more creative aspects of photography.

VEGAN DINNER + LIVE BAND: MONSIEUR DOUMANI
Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00), grab some drinks, and dance the night away to our live band all the way from Cyprus!
The members of this trio come from Nicosia (Cyprus) but all have different musical backgrounds. However, they are all anamored of the traditional Cypriotic 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 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 flavor.
In those 10 years Monsieur Doumani played successful concerts all over the world, from Womad to Sziget, from Paradiso to Mupa.

YOGA + DINNER + LIVE BANDS: STUDIO SHAP SHAP & DAWN OF A NEW WORLD
Come by and enjoy a delicious dinner (18:00), grab some drinks, and dance the night away to our live band all the way from Niger, plus a local supporting band!
STUDIO SHAP SHAP
In November 2015, a new radio station was establishing itself in Niamey, Niger. To diffuse quickly they were looking for musicians to create a series of music jingles. The request: create 27 musical pieces in just 3 days. The members of Studio Shap Shap knew one another well and took on the challenge. The contract was completed “shap shap”, which means ‘’quickly and well done’’. The creative energy pushed them to continue this new adventure together. Studio Shap Shap was born.
Music is the common language amongst the group. The members are of different origins, generations and stories. One goal: make Africa heard in a new and different way.
Two of the members, bass player Arobasse and mola and komsa player Ousselni were both members of one of the best bands from Niger: Mamar Kassey. Percussionist Maï Douma played with Mamane Barka before and has a foot technique for changing the pitch of the drum like the Dutch jazz drummer Han Bennink.
In April 2016 the first album was created and was named after the neighbourhood where the musicians meet: Château 1. Studio Shap Shap creates a tradi-modern sound that is full of samples of the natural and the urban world, traditional and electronic sounds, speech and song intertwined. In 2018 they toured Europe for the first time.
DAWN OF A NEW WORLD…
…intends to take you to another place; a vast place of moving sound, deep bass and brightening atmospheres, away from the nihilism of everyday life.
It connects modern electronic (dance-)music with cinematic influences to create a dynamic and melodic experience. It’s music features influences of Odesza, Parra for Cuva, Jon Hopkins and Max Cooper. These sources of inspiration are at the base of a kind of music where the listener can be taken to another dimension.
Live Dawn of a New World combines and loops his arrangements using percussion, drums, vocals and keys.
