On Sunday July 20'th - Ratatat play at the Paradiso in the Kleine Zaal
A few months back I got a text from a friend of mine in New Zealand to tell me about an excellent band that he was watching in Auckland. We now get to see them play here in Amsterdam in the intimate kleine zaal at the Paradiso. Their music is an interesting blend of electronica with rock with elements of hip-hop (trip-hop rock?).
This is the single off of new their aptly named third album LP3.
During the festival season its great that we get some artists doing gigs here in Amsterdam while they are on the circuit. Though there are not enough of them for me its good that we get at least some good acts in this normally quiet time of summer. Next week comes Ratatat, though more on that in my next post.
This weekend we see James Pants from the Stones Throw label. As you would expect he has elements of hip-hop in his sound alongside electro.
On Sunday night he will be playing at OCCII and he also plays in the Vondelpark at the 't Blauwe Theehuis on Sunday afternoon at 3/4pm.
