Buy your tickets for Incubated online!

November 18, 2011

On December 1th, the next official Incubated night hits the Paradox in Tilburg! With none other than cult hero R. Stevie Moore, Ariel Pink-affiliated Gary War and weirdest Dutch popstar Harry Merry!
And there’s more! You can now buy your tickets online for the upcoming editions via the Timoco website, Incubated.org and on our official Incubated Facebook page! Ticketprice is €9,- excluding a small fee of 0,80 euro. That’s not very expensive, is it? So what are you waiting for?

R. Stevie Moore
R. Stevie Moore is the uncrowned king of Do-It-Yourself. The cult hero of the underground. He started out as a ‘musical diarist’ and he released all those ideas in the 70’s on his own R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club. More than 400 titles have been released to date on cassette, LP or CD. With such an uncompromising approach, it’s no wonder he never made it to the big league. He doesn’t care about that either. R. Stevie does what he wants. Which is releasing suprising, weird, catchy poptunes alongside recordings he made on the toilet. To call this ‘pop’ is too narrow for the wide range of music he makes. Even calling it ‘avant-garde’ doesn’t fit the mold created by Moore.
Last year, he got the attention of the blogs with a hilarious clip on Kickstarter, where he tried to get $10.000 to make a new cd and ultimately raised more than $11.000. Now, he’s on tour in Europe and performs exclusively in The Netherlands on Incubated! So this is a unique chance to see this legend perform live!

Gary War
There’s not much information to be found on the Internet about Gary War. He’s from Brooklyn, NY and played with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti between 2005-2008. We know that. And we know he delivers some psychedelic lo-fi weird pop. Echoes, backwards samples, distortion, 80’s drumcomputer beats, undecipherable vocals, soft guitars, distortion and other noises define his sound. He calls it ‘goosestep’. We call it awesome. Some call it pop for experimental music fans. It’s a blurry tribute to… to… we have no idea to what actually. You’ll have to see Gary War and figure it out for yourself. If you dig John Maus and Ariel Pink, this is an act for you!

Harry Merry
Harry Merry (Harry den Hartog) is a multi-instrumentalist from Rotterdam and is one of the few Dutch artists who can be placed in the genre of ‘Outsider Music’. Merry is a distinct figure with his 70s hairdo and sailor suit. After years of locking himself in his room, he finally got out of his room and got his first gig in 1996 at a singer-songwriterfestival in Rotown Rotterdam. This was a huge succes with lots of positive criticism.  Soon after the first performace he toured around Europe and even did tours in America! His first CD was released eight years after his first performence and it’s called ‘Well.. Here’s another mess you’ve got me into‘. It took him three years to complete the album and it’s about his immediate surroundings. After the CD-release he performed at Noorderslag, de Grote Prijs and Popronde receiving positive reviews as well. In 2007 he started performing with a backing band ‘The Must‘, they recorded another CD, ‘Veronika‘.
