This weekend, The Hague will be the epicenter of underground culture. On Friday and Saturday the sixth edition of State X New Forms will take over different stages in and around the Paard van Troje venue in The Hague. It’s a festival giving cutting edge music and art a chance in the limelight and a diverse audience. Just like… well us, really.

Action Beat: the name says it all. its action combined with beat. With beat from up to 4 drummers (give and take a few). And with 4 guitarplayers and a healthy dose of improv you can easily file the tenpiece from Bletchley (home of the World War II code breakers) under Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth and Rhys Chatham.  Check their new release on Southern Records called, simply, ‘The Noise Band From Bletchley’.
