Local Blood
Local Blood is a post-punk band from Vilnius, Lithuania. In 2022 they released "Dystopian Disco," their promising debut album, which earned them a nomination for Best Rock Band at the M.A.M.A. Festival, (the biggest in Lithuania), but the guys were already busy working on their new project at the time. "Loverman," released in mid-November 2023, is a concept album about the criminal romance of Lithuania in the early 1990s. An era when, after regaining independence, the country was adjusting to the new reality and all the dark gangsterism that came with it.
To present the album live, Local Blood transformed Loftas (one of the coolest venues in Vilnius) into a Twin Peaks-style nightclub. In doing so, they showed that beneath their nonchalance there is also a healthy dose of black irony. It seems like it's in their blood.
Local Blood is ready for big things - and it's time for you to discover them on their first European tour.
Von Veh
Von Veh (2019) is a four-piece rock band from Amsterdam. They boost the subgenre of indie rock with their unadulterated and unfiltered songs. The electric guitar riffs and moving lyrics lead you to the true, dramatic story of the song.
The aural journey of Von Veh's music is an emotional roller coaster. Their songs are like a mirror of the human experience. Infused with love, longing and a touch of rebellion.
Inspired by bands from the 1990s such as Sonic Youth and Breeders, they created their own sound with their signature blend of raw voices, catchy melodies and powerful songs with soundscapes.
It results in a sound that is both enchanting and energetic.
This indie rock attitude sets the band apart.
What's the verse, what's the chorus or the bridge? It's not always clear, but each chord and line can ignite a flame in the listener's heart.
