Fields of the Nephilim, Darkwood, Consumer Electronics and Drum Eyes confirmed for #incu12

Stein — Tue, 22 May 2012 12:25:25 +0000

Usually we announce new confirmations on Thursday, but because it’s World Goth Day we’re sharing some new confirmations for Incubate ’12 today. We reached a total of 95 confirmed artist with these four new additions:

We are very proud to present the exclusive performance by the legendary English goth rock band Fields of the Nephilim. By incorporating elements from heavy metal and Carl McCoy’s trademark growled vocals they have been setting the standard in the gothic scene since 1984. They haven’t performed in the Netherlands since 1988! For World Goth Day (today!), the band has been awarded with ‘Best 90′s goth band’ and ‘Best 2000′s goth band’ of 2012. For an interview with Carl McCoy, head over to thequietus.com.
Friday, 14 September - Gothic rock, eighties, rock noir

Yes, we managed to get the rarely performing Darkwood to play Incubate 2012! Darkwood is the neofolk unity of many different elements. From traditional themes and acoustic instruments with experimental soundscapes and samples and mixing English and German lyrics. They only performed live 16 times and their last performance was in 2007, which makes this occasion extra special.
Friday, 14 September - Neofolk, dark folk, apocalyptic folk

Renowned extreme noise act Consumer Electronics will definitely make some ears bleed during Incubate. Vast walls of noise are coming your way with power electronics interspersed with industrial sound. Walls that will vaporize every eardrum that comes unprepared.
Saturday, 15 September - Noise, industrial, power electronics

The collective Drum Eyes led by Shigeru Ishihara aka DJ Scotch Egg, notorious from his Game Boy act. With this collective he and his fellow musicians explore different facets of electronic music. As you can see from the numerous of different genre-tags used, this band is mixing more elements than your average blender.
Date TBA – Drone, kraut, electronic, post-rock, dub, psychedelic

The Incubate gospel according to Jasper van Vugt

Sebastiaan — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:00:29 +0000

The Incubate gospel according to’ section gives you Incubate 2010 tips from insiders. Sixth one: Jasper van Vugt.

1.Who are you?
Many a philosopher has spent his (somehow all famous philosophers seem to have be men) entire life finding an answer to this question. But, if we take a -questionable- shortcut and use the equation ‘work=personality’: I am Jasper van Vugt, journalist (and in the case of OOR also editor) for publications like OOR, Algemeen Dagblad, CJP Magazine, NL20, Vice and Jazz Magazine. On a weekly basis I ramble about new Dutch talent on the airwaves of the wonderful Radio Mortale, where I invite promising new bands to play live. To make me feel more important and powerful I do the Simon Cowellthing for Grote Prijs van Nederland, Mooie Noten, Nu Of Nooit and Amsterdamse Popprijs. And since the age of Twitter I’ve seen people use ‘Twittering’ as an activity you can mention on your resume as well, so here you go: I Twitter (jvanvugt).

2.What will you be doing during Incubate 2010 (Sept. 12-19)?
The usual us journalists do at a festival: drink free booze backstage, hang out with the rockstars, shagging an intern or two, doing blow of groupies’ genitals, throw parties in my paid-for hotelroom and occasionally watch one of the hottest bands. When I get home and have to write my article I just use copy/paste from last years review and change the dates and bandnames. Like I said: the usual.

3.Which three artists do you recommend to see at Incubate 2010?
Zea of course, Dan Deacon, DJ/ Rupture, I Am Oak, Serena-Maneesh, Nikoo, Eklin, Kiki, Women, Space Siren, Traumahelikopter, Black Mountain, Daniel Haaksman, Die Weisse Rose and Josephine Foster. Oh
just three? Ok:
1. Zea
2. Dan Deacon
3. DJ/ RuptureIAmOakSerena-ManeeshNikooEklinKikiWomenSpaceSirenTraumahelikopterBlackMountainDaniel
HaaksmanDieWeisseRoseJosephineFoster.

4.Any non-musical things you recommend during the festival?
Three words: Heavy Metal Bowling.

Artist Exposed: Monolithic

Erik — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:06:52 +0000

One part extreme metal, one part big balls rock’n roll, a whole lot of sweat and more energy than a raging flock of bulls. Monolithic seek to push the boundaries of what is physically possible in rhythmic music today. Monolithic is total awareness and explosive energy throughout! Baritone guitarist Stian Westerhus also plays in Puma (also on ZXZW Tuesday 16 September), Bladed and Jaga Jazzist. Kenneth Kapstad is also the drummer in Motorpsycho and Animal Alpha.

Monolithic is part of the Norwegian Invasion and will play the 013 on Tuesday 16 September. Norwegian Invasion is a collaboration between ZXZW and our Norwegian counterparts of the independent music club Bla, in Oslo, and is supported by Bureau Cultuurmakelaar in Tilburg. The Batcave will host a whole week of cool Norwegian bands and acts including Shining, Svarte Greiner and Shari Vari.

Appie Kim added !

Erik — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:59:41 +0000

We managed to squeeze one of our own favorite bands into the line-up with the cancellation of the also great LAKES, we saw an opening to get a very cool Dutch indie rock band named APPIE KIM to ZXZW. They sing cool songs for cool people. And nerds.
