Incubated 11 is coming and you better be there! Three bands are in the line-up, Bebe Fang, Traumahelikopter and Dirty Beaches. The evening will also involve Popronde Tilburg, a festival that travels around Holland in search for the newest bands. This means the entrance is free! The doors will open at 20.00 and the first band Bebe Fang will start at 20.30. Paradox is the venue were you’ll need to be! Mark this is in your calender, the third of November: Incubated 11! See you there.

Bebe Fang – 20:30 – 21:15

As you may well know, we’re suckers for the brooding music coming for the Eklin/Adept/Bonne Apart camp. Woud (a project by Wouter Venema and Kempe Koldijk) already gave act de présence on Incubate 2011. And now Koldijk is back with yet another project: Bebe Fang. Together with Berber Visser (Miss. Ippi), they bring dark ambient soundscapes, with on top of that the beautifully haunting voice of Visser. So people who enjoyed Woud, will definitely enjoy Bebe Fang, which is a bit more experimental. Dark muggy sounds. We just made your first choice for the Popronde easier.

Traumahelikopter – 21:30 – 22:15

Met een rotgang dwars door de wolken.

The Dutch garagepunk band Traumahelikopter were formed in 2010 in Groningen Noord. Bandmembers Mark LADA and Daan Hendrik van Dalen met eachother whilst being students. Third member Knalbert is a friend from Mark LADA’s youth. Mark and Daan both dropped out of Art History and whilst living together they decided to write songs saying ‘with three chords and little talent, we could play music’.  No bassguitar, just two guitars and drums, which consist only of snare, floor tom and crash cymbals. They are in for a laugh, naming their influences from Ike Turner to exotic animals to leather. With their motto: ‘Don’t talk about it, be about it – Busta Rhymes’, they are going to blow your socks off at Incubated 11!

Dirty Beaches – 22:45 – 23:30

The one-man project of Alex Zhang Hungtai, Dirty Beaches, is coming to Tilburg! The Taiwanese Canadian lived half his life wandering through the streets. He moved from Toronto to Montreal and even to Honolulu. ‘Badlands’, his debut album, shows us perfectly how he lived his life in so many different places, with songs like ‘A Hundred Highways’ and ‘Goodbye Honolulu.

Dirty Beaches’s sound is daunting and appealing at the same time. Alex Zhang Hungtai’s music is minimalistic and experimental. The audio looks like it’s been ripped from a cassette, giving it a raw sound. When you hear Dirty Beaches it’s easily to compare him to a fifties band, minimal, raw and old sound with the heavy, dark smoky voice of Alex Zhang Hungtai. Dirty Beaches is something to look out for, and he’s playing at Incubated 11. We hope you’re as entranced as we are and we hope to see you there!
