Now Peter Meeuwsen, promoter at Incubate, is the second one to give 5 tips for the festival. Here they are:
John Maus performances are as weird as they are amazing. When i saw him he was only singing his own backing vocals while totally freaking out to his eighties sounding synth pop. It felt completely honest and as an ironic comment at the same time, and so does his music.

Stranded Horse
In a previous life Yann Tambour was known as the person behind french post-rock band Encre. As Stranded Horse he’s making the most beautiful folk music. This is how Nick Drake would’ve sounded if he had learned French and played the kora.
Stranded Horse – And The Shoreline It Withdrew In Anger
After the Arab Spring and Occupy Wallstreet there’s now the New Way Of Danish Fuck You. Iceage is the first band to emerge from this new Copenhagen scene. Loud and wild kids, making the most urgent punk rock songs i heard in a while. Fuck yeah!
Iceage – New Brigade
Bill Callahan
Bill Callahan made some brilliant lo-fi records as Smog in the nineties. His last two records under his own name prove that after twenty years he is still one of the best songwriters of our time. Was dating Joanna Newsom the inspiration for the amazing arrangements on these last two records?
Bill Callahan: Apocalypse
Rats On Rafts
I saw these guys opening for Jay Reatard and they were great! Two years later they have now finally finished their excellent debut album The Moon Is Big, proving to be the most exciting dutch band of the moment.
