Fact is, where their first CD Moneymakerme (2004) almost exclusively dealt with life as seen through the alcoholically tainted specs of boisterous frontman Leon Caren, now it is time for a little contemplation and - letâs say - distance. Conspicuously labeled as alternative rockâ (the way the indication of the genre was originally meant), BLUES BROTHER CASTRO is as indie as indie could ever be. If rock was intended to be the anti culture, then this lot comes closest. Fun sounds like the definition of recalcitrance, but even in this there are various grades. Fun is different, and not only lyrically. The intensity that the word blues in the band name refers to is comparable only to that of the legendary Gun Club or Jon Spencer, and has remained fully intact. The music itself is also strikingly less one-dimensional than before. Fun is definitely multi-layered. That layering is due in large part to the bands recent touring schedule. In the wake of their 2005 appearances at Popkomm and New Yorks CMJ Music Marathon, BLUES BROTHER CASTRO toured the US for a month. Then, when the band was invited to play the prestigious SXSW Showcase in Austin, TX, they saddled up and did another three weeks in the States in early Spring. The release of FUN was followed by extensive touring in Holland, Spain and the UK as well as an appearance at CMJ in the fall of 2006.

Living in the multi-cultural port of Rotterdam, the street sound clashes from open windows and pimped-up cars seem to float directly into Malorix“ laptop. The rags of rai, gabber, bling-bling raps, drum“n bass, banghra, grime and many traditional tunes don“t leave the laptop before they“re cut, chopped and melted to be finally processed into tracks typically recognised as Malorix style: jumpy, freaky, groovy, weird and refreshing. Listen to Malorix souns http://www.malorix.nl     THE LOW POINT DRAINS The Low Point Drains are a trash garage rock\'n\'roll band from around Hellevoetsluis/ Rotterdam, The Netherlands. We are Mr. Point (guitar+ vocals), Mr. Drain (drums) and Mr. Low (bass+ guitar). Since 1998, we played as a duo. From april 2005, Mr. Low joined us to contribute to our wall of sound. Low Point Drains will blow you away with their filthy trashgarage sound... Their short & fast\'n\'rockin\' songs grab you by the hair and bash your head onto the ground. Uncompromising garage rock\'n\'roll with a slight blues vibe! Live shows are energetic as hell! Our debut 7 “ EP was released on Dutch label KURIOSA Records in 2005 and another 7 “ appeared in 2006 Slovenly Records USA. http://www.lowpointdrains.nl . http://www.myspace.com/lowpointdrains .     DEFORMER Deformer hails from Rotterdam city and stood up during the 92/93 Breakbeat/ Jungle era. They were one of the first serious producers in its genre in The Netherlands. In the time that real Junglists revolted against the new commercial alternative Drum n Bass, DEFORMER already produced some revolutionary tracks. Some of them got stolen by crooked record companies, which gathered demos of relatively unknown artists. The second DEFORMER album - Revolution Theory - tops all enthusiasm received by their debut, Fxecutioners on all fronts. Revolution Theory became a very versatile full-length album within its genre. From danceable Jungle tracks to heavy experimental Drum n breaks and deep trip hop tunes, a large audience embraces this album already and the press loves it. The DEFORMER sound is very recognizable by its raw, jungle orientated drum programming supported by dark scores creating a unique identity. Up till now, DEFORMER has never had a single bad review by the critics and if they will in the future, they probably wont have understood it... www.redrumrecordz.com . http://www.myspace.com/deformer . photo - Daniel Baggerman     APPLEGARDEN Their first musical collaboration resulted in the independent album release of APPLEGARDEN (2002), an eclectic Vaudeville exploration, that got national attention. The trio prolonged their collaboration. During their first public performances around the underground music scene and artists-initiatives in the lower parts of the lowlands, APPLEGARDEN moved away from their first album towards a more dance-oriented repertoire. Honing performance-skills and excavating creative differences over the following years until their 12 Twentyfive 6 Four (Putsch 79 remix) dropped at Clone records (NL) july 2006 got them noted in the Dutch Club circuit. Now, at the beginning of 2007 Appegarden is a well-known act, embraced by many for their energetic liveperformances where they effortlessly combine electro, disco as well as synthpop. They sound like Electric Six, Snap!, Talking Heads, Parliament and Milli Vanilli in a Warsaw Pact blender. APPLEGARDEN Live is a tryptich constellation of: Job Willems - Vocals, Percussion Phlegmatic preaching beats & grooves on the push of a button. Melodious vocals & recorder, mouthharp & ad-libs. Percussive finishing touches. Maziar Afrassiabi - Vocals, Electric organ, Bass Unchallenged musical boxer-engine pumping vintage Philicorda-orgel of Dutch origin. Producing Off-beat basslines with a reasonably prized 80s Yamaha-keyboard. Bob Geldermans - Vocals, Analogue Synth Unisono soul from a dying Davolisynth (Italy) Freehand effect-balancing. Man of sensual chorus lines, challenging the finest in gospel myspace.com/applegardenmusic     ST0MA Stöma is on a quest for new sounds and emotions. Stöma gigs are always intense and vibrant, balancing on the edge of improvisation. Drummer Wouter van Wijk, bassplayer/vocalist Bruno Xavier Ferro da Silva and turntablist eNi-LesS are well known musicians in the alternative scene here in Rotterdam/Holland. Bruno and Wouter played in Doodoos Coffee (DDC) which is quite a big name over here. (cd Choosen Boundaries 2002). DDC is back in full action again after a break up which lasted three years. During that time Stöma was formed. Bruno liked to refer to Stöma as the colostomy bag Wouter and Bruno needed to get all the shit out they bottled up after DooDoo’s Coffee split up. Aside from DDC they both play in The Must which is the back up band for famous keyboard wizard Harry Merry. Furthermore Bruno plays in various projects like Bruno&Robin (with Belgian drummer Robin Schaeverbeeke), Dr. Schnitt, Grillig (hiphop) and WeGo (Danish dance/performance group). Wouter also plays in Clayborn; a rockband from Rotterdam. Beside his solo career, eNi-LeSs founded a production team Redrum Squad , Redrum Recordz an independent recordlabel, featured at many performances of well known groups and innovates in organising a large festival. The National Phonographic Festival focusses on all perspectives of the turntable, including many performances by famous international producers and turntablists, dj workshops, art and lectures that has created an enormous success. This festival made a large audience get in contact with the turntable as being a real musical instrument for the first time. During his busy schedule, eNi-LeSs releases several cd’s and vinyls, produces for a lot for international artists, does a lot of t.v. appearances and now performs woldwide. Stöma made a big impression on audiences around Holland, f.i. playing as opening act for Tricky at The Nighttown club and during the popronde (Hollands equivalent to Loolapalooza), Metropolis and on the Noorderslag side festival in Groningen. We’ve seen them putting young punkrockers and older Tricky fans alike into a frenzy at their gigs. Their music is intense, psychedelic, dynamic and with diverse influences such as: Stravinsky, Stooges, Public Enemy, DJ Disk, Autechre, Minutemen, John Coltrane, Butthole surfers, Steve Reich, Hendrix, Ruins, Nels Cline, Captain Beefhart, Sonic Youth, Primus, Beastie Boys, Jane’s Addiction, Eric Dolphy, RHCP, John Zorn, King Crimson, Squarepusher, Arab on Radar, Mark Dresser, Gregg Bendian, Cheech Wizard, Harry Merry, Mya Masaoka, Tool.....etc..... http://www.myspace.com/st0ma photo - Daniel Baggerman     ENI-LESS Enio Ramalho also known as ENI-LESS, is a born musician and started experimenting with several instruments at an early age. He first mastered playing the guitar and gathered a lot of experience writing and performing his own compositions. His technical musical skills soon get practiced within studio work and not only does he play traditional instruments, but he also starts to focus on midi-programming and turntablism. His experimental compositions stand out and ENI-LESS becomes a well known beatcreator and turntablist. During performing a lot in The Netherlands, ENI-LESS gets recognised by media and bookers from various music scenes because fusing different genres is his strength. He also brings his unique sound across a wide audience. Beside his solo carreer, ENI-LESS founds a production team Redrum Squad , Redrum Recordz an independent recordlabel, features at many performances of well known groups and innovates in organising a large festival. The National Phonographic Festival focusses on all perspectives of the turntable, including many performances by famous international producers and turntablists, dj workshops, art and lectures wich has created an enormous succes.

ENI-LESS also works at music instrumentarium store Feedback Rotterdam, The Netherlands as head and specialist of the dj-department. At this moment ENI-LESS is working on new productions, which will be released soon including his solo album... http://www.redrumrecordz.com www.myspace.com/eniless photo - Daniel Baggerman     AUX RAUS AUX RAUS is an Amsterdam based techno punk band consisting of Bastiaan Bosma and Luuk Bouwman. Their idea is simple: to mix the urgency and energy of classic punk rock with contemporary techno and gabber. Songs were written on two drum machines, a shredded guitar and an old computer resulting in a high voltage mix of punk riffage, crowd moving techno beats and pop sensibilities. Capturing the spirit of the alcoholic dance parties and the dirt of punk shows AUX RAUS know how to make a party out of a funeral. Creating a maximum impact with minimal means they became known as the enfants terribles of dance music . Shows took place in bars, squats and seedy discothĂšques all over the globe: from the undergrounds of Amsterdam, Mexico City and Berlin, to the glamour of Paris and New York City, and back to the welcoming warmth of their parents’ livingrooms in Noordwijk and Oss. In 2005 the band recorded their debut album in Mexico City called ‘This is how this works’ which is already in stores in Mexico. The album was produced by Julian Lede, aka Silverio - and Dr. Bono Bonso aka Carlos Navarette. No mames guey. AUX RAUS will support THE LOCUST on some of their shows in Europe in August and September. www.auxraus.com myspace.com/auxraus music video Fall     DJ Leen Steen I play a mix of electro, rock, punk, garage, soul and indie. From classic 60s , 70s, 80s 90s stuff to very hip modern sounds... Im an old school punkrocker with a taste for the bizar but danceble!! My aim as D.J. is to get people off with good music regardless of genres, showing that good music is made in all genres immaginable... http://www.myspace.com/tocadorecords http://www.tocado.com/       POETRY   Jules Deelder Justus Anton Deelder (Rotterdam, 24th November 1944) is a multitalented poet, writer, actor, artist and dj. He is often referred to as the mayer of the night in Rotterdam. He released three albums on which he collected his favorite jazzmusic of the 1940s and 50s in order to prevent them for being forgotten. Jules Deelder is undoubtedly one of the Netherlands best-known poets. He owes much of his fame to public appearances, in which he combines a dandyish pose with a curious mixture of popular city humor and irony, dished up in an uncut Rotterdam accent. He is arguably the godfather of Dutch performance poets. There is an unmistakable link between Deelders poetry and the Dutch ultra-realists of the 1950s, and an even stronger kinship with the carefree anarchism of the 1960s. Many of his poems are on an exciting collision course with established taste. Apparently, Jules Deelder has found the recipe for successfully combining a deadpan exterior and crass realism with the comic effect of irony. He calls himself a neon realist, a neon romantic and a neon comedian. Deelder has a rare command of register, mimicking the language of soaps as effortlessly as that of military rhetoric or the quasi-profound verbiage of esoteric or antiquated cultures. He does this in his poetry as well as in his prose, which never fails to betray the poet. Deelders work often tends toward cabaret, but was not cabaret the mainspring of a movement like Dadaism? With the Dadaists he shares a fondness for the absurd, born from a relentless defiance of established high art. He has thus made of himself a kind of enfant terrible of the Dutch poetic scene, but one that cannot be ignored. Several of his poems have achieved the status of modern classic, and if he is not one of the Netherlands most read poets, he certainly is one of the most heard. http://www.deelder.com http://www.epibreren.com/deelder deelderdraait.htm wikipedia.org/Jules_Deelder       FILM and VIDEO-ART   IMPAKT: Second Nature & Sublime Moments The Impakt festival, Dutch curator of video-art from all the world, will present two programs in which they show Dutch video-art in a wider context of videos from all over the world. Having a succesfull event at the SKIF-festival a few years ago, curator Arjon Dunnewind, this year wants to bring a few new and refreshing programs to Russia. Works by Roy Villevoye, Guido van der Werve, Jeroen Kooijmans, Nicolas Provost, Takeshi Murata, Chris Shepherd and others are shown in two programs. IMPAKT: Second Nature 73 minutes, video A program of recent video-art from NL and the rest of the world. Humans and animals are sometimes no more than an inch apart. Literally, because they share habitats, or figuratively, because some people behave like animals and animals sometimes have human characteristics. IMPAKT: Sublime Moments 71 minutes, video A program of recent video-art from NL and the rest of the world. Beauty can be found everywhere: in an alley or in an underground car park, at a rock concert or at a crackling fireworks spectacle. But you must have an eye for it (and sometimes a long-focus lens can be helpful). http://www.impakt.nl     FILMBANK 1 A program of recent experimental short films, selected by the Filmbank - distributor of experimental films. The program will be introduced by Anna Abrahams of the Filmbank. All films will be shown in their 35 mm copy. Total duration 71 www.filmbank.nl Anna Abrahams, Jan Frederik Groot: Roeien / Rowing Netherlands | 2003 | 3 min. 30 sec. | 35mm | black & white | no dialogue Animated film loop of a rower, made with a self made pinhole camera. The frozen images are timeless, the journey eternal. Anna Abrahams (Oslo, 1963) studied film studies, art history and mass communication studies. Jan Frederik Groot (1959) studied communication studies, art history and audio visual design. Together they founded the Rongwrong foundation in 1989, for which they make experimental films and documentaries concerning cultural and social subjects. Anna Lange: De Aardappeleters / Space Potatoes Netherlands | 2006 | 7 min. | 8mm | pal | black & white | silent | no dialogue The potato cult in the life of two old peasants at their farm. The filmmaker portrays a lost way of life which she was deeply influenced by. It is a tribute as well as a goodbye which puts things into perspective. Concerning us as much as the two humble characters. Anna Lange (1969) works as a multimedia and interdisciplinary artist. Lange studied at the Academy for Visual Arts in â��s-Hertogenbosch and at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. â��Shooting short silent movies doesnâ��t mean to me that I make a nostalgic move, or even worse a regressive one. My only aim is to improve and encourage the possibility of concentration, while watching my films. Real attention is the beginning of finer experience.â�� (Anna Lange) Guido van der Werve: Nummer Twee / Number Two (Just because Iâ��m standing here, doesnâ��t mean I want to) Netherlands | 2003 | 3 min. | 35mm | colour | Dutch, English titles In a desolate, provincial neighbourhood the filmmaker films an ode to spring. This can hardly turn out right now can it? Guido van der Werve (1977) finished his audiovisual studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Since 2000, he has made several experimental films and videos and was also actively involved with performances and theatre. Jaap Pieters: Jimmyâ��s Ballet Netherlands | 1993 | 3 min. | 8mm | colour | silent | no dialogue A man in a road sweeperâ��s coat totally absorbed in directing traffic in the De Pijp area of Amsterdam. Transferred from 8mm to 35mm. Jaap Pieters (1955), known as â��The Eye of Amsterdamâ��, films several small events and portraits on Super8, mostly from his apartment in Amsterdam. Ben van Lieshout: De Zone / The Zone Netherlands | 1999 | 18 min. | 35mm | 1:1.66 | colour | Dolby SR | no dialogue This short film provides a nerve-wracking and revealing view of a very Dutch phenomenon, the drive-in, screened car parks used by streetwalkers and their clients. The camera usually looks through the windscreen of a moving car and shows the locations from a manâ��s perspective. The soundtrack is made up of statements culled from interviews which provide insight into the world from the point of view of the prostitutes. Ben van Lieshout (1951) studied at the Free Academy in The Hague and works as a teacher at the Utrecht School of Arts. He makes experimental short films and feature films. Taatske Pieterson: One Person / Lucy Netherlands | 2005 | 3 min. 30 sec. | 35mm | 1:1.85 | colour | Dolby SR | English There are thousands of reasons that can cause the death of one person, but only just a few that cause the death of thousands of peopleâ�Š Taatske Pieterson (1978) graduated cum laude at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. For One person / Lucy, she received the Zebra Award on the Poetry Film Festival, Berlin 2006. Esther Rots: Ik ontspruit / I Sprout Netherlands | 2003 | 15 min. | 35mm | colour | Dolby SR | no dialogue A woman returns to her parental home that she left when she was six. The cold winter turns to a summer filled with scent and memories; memories of a bicycle crash, a tree blown down and a crawl through the surrounding undergrowth. Inside the house everything is quiet and familiar - until someone starts screaming in terror. Esther Rots (1972) studied at the School of Arts in Arnhem. Both her films Play with Me and I Sprout were selected for the short film competition of the Cannes Film Festival. Eveline Ketterings: Als wij GROOT zijnâ�Š / When We Are Big Netherlands | 2006 | 7 min. | 35mm | 1:1.85 | colour | Dolby SRD | no dialogue A revolting meditation on the passing of childhood innocence. Is it an intellectual crime of passion, everlasting love, loss of youth or only an abstract and surreal still life of a girl thrashing about in a living room set under water, in the iron grip of a figure lost in thought? The audience asks itself: Why? Eveline Ketterings (1965) works as theatre- and filmmaker, performer and opera singer. Her first â��officialâ�� film work is done in 1998. Itâ��s an opera fragment â��Didoâ��s Farewellâ��. Most of her work concentrates on confrontation and creating new values. Since 1999, she has made experimental works in which she often performs the leading role herself. Pieter Jan Smit: Le Grand Tango Netherlands | 2002 | 11 min. | 35mm | 1:1.85 | colour | Dolby SR | no dialogue Filmmaker Pieter Jan Smit uses one extended shot in extreme close-up to show how music takes possession of the musician. Pieter Jan Smit (1960) attended the Free Academy in The Hague.

Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975) was a performance artist, filmmaker and photographer who lived in Los Angeles for most of his career. His work was obsessed with sadness, searching, loss and falling. For example, one of his more well-known works is a film called I too sad to tell you (1971) in which he simply cries in front of the camera. This sense of sadness and loss is maybe best portrayed by one of his writings:The sea, the land, the artist has with great sadness known they too will be no more.

Images on Music contains a selection of mainly Dutch filmmakers and artists that explicitly deal with music and what it can represent. Apart from the video clip as the most obvious format the artists also delt with sound, music and pop culture in various other ways. Where in mainstream music video the song dominates the images some of the artists in this program treat image and sound as equals in order to achieve real synergy. Other artists focus on the lifestyle, the industy or the dreams that are behind the music and the role music plays in our lives. http://www.impakt.nl       INSTALLATIONS     EXHIBITIONS   Daniel Baggerman Daniel Baggerman started taking up photography some 10 years ago. Almost immediately he started photographing bands on stage and later on at photoshoots as well. He is most famous for his live portraits, which are mostly in gritty black & white and gained him a lot of followers among Dutch and especially Rotterdam-based musicians. Besides photographing he also designs for a lot of musicians he has worked with throughout the years. He has done cd covers, websites, some t-shirts and is working on his second video right now. myspace.com/danielbaggerman www.danielbaggerman.com/     Renee Castelijn [Angst] In a series of photographs Renee Castelijn focusses on the phenomenon of fear. Departing from his own fear of the actual physical decay, illness and death, he tries to enter a subconscious level to reach the more profound fearscapes and their counterforces of nihilism that silently remove everything that is on the inside. Rene Castelijn (1965) is a photographic autodidact. Departing from his earlier studies in Philosophy he began working as a professional Photographer in Rotterdam in the year 2000. www.renecastelijn.nl     Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva graduated from the Royal art academy in Rotterdam. Plays with a lot of different bands (at Dutch Punch in Stöma), the part of the art collective: Antistrot. Antistrot Antistrot a visual arts collective, have been working together since 1997 members Paul Börchers, Johan Kleinjan, David Elshout, Silas Schletterer, Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva, Charlie Dronkers (video) and Michiel Walraven, started the group as a reaction against the establishment academy and gallery walls. The collaborative is tight, when working together, individuals come second to the collective and the final product is less important than the dynamic process of action and reaction through which Antistrot`s paintings and drawings come about. To Antistrot`s members these sessions form a visual sounding board for reflection on our constantly changing world. Their eclectic, chaotic and seemingly incoherent works mirror the avalanche of images, impressions and temptation to which we are daily exposed. In so doing, the members of Antistrot do not make value judgements. Not only do they react to consumer society, they are also - wholeheartedly - part of it. By completely accepting consumer society Antistrot aims to reveal shades of reality that overabundance and desensitization have rendered invisible. http://www.antistrot.com     Marcel Ruijters Marcel Ruijters was born in 1966, grew up in the South of Holland, where he spent some years at art school in the 1980s.
