[Incu Wednesday] Mueran Humanos, Kool Thing and the names for Whatspace / Let’s Jam added to the Incubate 2011 line-up

August 24, 2011

You didn’t expect this did you? Well, we’re sending out a press release about our complete line-up in a few, so we thought we might as well share the last additions to our lineup for Incubate 2011 now!

But first the bad news, you might as well have read it somewhere but Wise Blood couldn’t get their EP released in Europe on time and sadly decided to cancel their European tour, including their performance at Incubate.

The good thing is we have booked Mueran Humanos from Argentina, who will play instead of Wise Blood. We have also added Kool Thing to our lineup, who are on tour with Austra.

And finally the names for Whatspace’s Let’s Jam are finally announced! You can find the whole list of artists below.

Newly added to the music program:

Mueran Humanos – 18/9

post-punk, experimental, minimal wave

Mueran Humanos is an post-punk/experimental band with Carmen Burguess (machines and voice) and Tomás Nochteff (bass and voice). Together they create haunting, pschodistorted soundscapes filled with strange harmonies, electronic drums and spacy effects. Which isn’t that surprising with a bandname that translates to ‘Die humans’. Good fun for pessimists.


Kool Thing – 16/9

indie, dream pop, noise rock

Kool Thing is named after the first major label single by Sonic Youth. And while there’s a bit of noisy guitartones to be found here as well, it’s not as violent as Sonic Youth could be. It’s more dreamy synth-laden reverb pop that will suit your needs if you’re looking for soothing melodies with a touch of melancholy. Beautifully honest music. If you’re here for Austra, EMA and the likes, this could be your new addiction.


Whatspace’s Let’s Jam:

Whatspace / Let’s Jam – 12-18/9

Visual arts jam during the Incubate week. The guys from Whatspace run a project where they collaborate on a daily base with students and other artists, ogten guests at the festival, and create posters and other printed materials. Shapes and forms will range from hardcore abstract to collage, plus anything else that comes along. These works will be on display during the festival and at two special temporary poster walls. One at De Heuvel, the square in the middle of the city centre and one at the central station.

Participing artists:

Koen Delaere 12 -18 sept
Bas van den Hurk 12 – 18 sept
Studenten of Artez: 12-18 sept

Guests throughout the week:

Remco Torenbosch  12 – 15 sept
Piet Dieleman 13 sept
Harm van den Dorpel 14 sept
Vaast Colson 16 sept
