Shitfaced Mermaids/Shoe Eating Rabits/Nono and The Sinking Ship
Three great folk/punk acts in one evening!
The Shitfaced Mermaids are known for its long-lived fun-mindedness, with a crate of beer or a bottle of rum you can usually lure the mermaids to your party. It is a group with lots of smells and colors, without frontman but focused on playing together. They play acoustically with instruments like the banjo, a homemade basjo, bouzouki, Musical saw, violin, accordion, washboard, clarinet, cajon, guitar and multi-voice singing. The mermaids play “Semi-fishy wasted freakfolk” and the texts are about the sea, about beer, about fish, but also about anguish, TV zombies, sauerkraut, foxes and dogs and a man in a train. In short, a real party band with sometimes a sensitive side.
From all different musical points of the compass The Shoe Eating Rabbits found each other. They found each other in the need to play music as much and often as possible. Fiddle, accordeon, resonator guitar and three part harmony singing enable them to play anywhere at all. Festival stages, a pallet on the floor, a picknick table, the local pub, your living room, the corners and squares of the cities in Europe and the wet clay of their home province of Groningen in the Netherlands are all places that the Rabbits love to play. As long as there’s an attentive ear and nodding head, the Rabbits will play! And if there’s a dancing crowd, then the party is complete. An up beat, sometimes subtle and sensitive, but mostly contagious mix of traditional and trashy anarcho folk, balkan, bluegrass, or like the Scots called it on their last tour to the hilly North: ‘Footstomping music!’
Nono &the SinkingShip is Jessie Leyten, former singer, writer, guitar player of the electro garage punk duo The Suicidal Birds, with small hit songs ‘Me Animal’ on BBC Radio1 and ‘Summersetsun’ on 3FM 3voor12 in 2005. After touring (drinking, driving, smoking) too much for some years, she quit all of this. But blood is thicker than water… And out of some other musical projects, Nono &the SinkingShip arose. A simple set up with banjo and a drum made out of a wooden box. Songs inspired by living on a ship, all the problems in life and the world, happy tunes with a dark background. Still punk.
Dinner: from 18:00
