Eurosonic Noorderslag Festival (NL)
ESNS
19-22/1, 2022
Online – alla kanaler nås gratis genom ESNS.n.
Festivalen som vanligtvis äger rum i Groningen, Nederländerna, kommer i år igen att köra sitt program online. Det betyder att du kan delta i showcase-spelningar, networkingsessioner och paneler från ditt eget hem.
Sverige har 5 akter i line-upen, samt den svensk/danska konstellationen Vola under dansk flagg, och i år har ExMS gått in med stöd för att underlätta produktioner av liveinspelningar..
Nedan finns samtliga svenska akter listade, nu uppdaterade med tid och datum för sändning.
Amason (SE)
Kanal: ESNS 01
Datum: ons, Jan 19
Tid: 21:20 – 21:30
Their spectacular sophomore album, ‘Galaxy I’, showcases just how close-knit Swedish supergroup Amason has become. Alongside production team Bloodshy & Avant, keyboardist Pontus Winnberg wrote and produced for everyone from Madonna and Britney Spears, as well as co-founding the band Miike Snow. His brother Petter launched the popular Swedish band Little Majorette with drummer Nils Törnqvist. Vocalist Amanda Bergman (aka Idiot Wind) collaborated with the likes of The Tallest Man On Earth and Lykke Li, and guitarist/vocalist Gustav Ejstes rose to fame with cult psych-rock project Dungen. Quite a lineup, quite a band.
Juno Francis (SE)
Kanal: ESNS 01
Datum: ons, Jan 19
Tid: 22:25 – 22:40
The Swedish lovechild of a 60s gentleman and an 80s lady, Juno Francis invites you to dance in a synth-pop-disco dream. Psychedelic and glamorous, hazy and glittery, hypnotic and dramatic. Her voice melts in your heart and as you feel weak at the knees and faint, you land on a bed made of silky smooth synth pads.
Melby (SE)
Kanal: ESNS 03
Datum: tors, Jan 20
Tid: 20:40 – 20:50
Stockholm four-piece Melby have constantly been developing since their acclaimed debut record ‘None of this makes me worry’ (2019), followed by tour dates all over Europe. The band often gets compared to fellow Swedes Dungen and Amason but Melby’s dynamic sound, with influences from folk, psych, indie and pop, stands out. The light, semi-psychedelic folk pop is led by Matilda Wiezell’s enchanting voice which fits perfectly with Melby’s special musical landscape – that’s been called “otherworldly, and wholly brilliant” by The Line of Best Fit.
Smash Into Pieces (SE)
Kanal: ESNS 02
Datum: fre, Jan 21
Tid: 22:20 – 22:30
Swedish alternative rockers Smash Into Pieces have become internationally recognized through their heavy touring, releasing six full length albums while also syncing their music with their cinematic video stories. In August 2021 the band released not only an album, with ‘A New Horizon’ they released a new story with episodes linked to each track. They are confirmed for over 60 live shows in 2021/2022, among others the “Worlds Collide Tour” with Within Temptation and Evanescence (March 2022).
Vero (SE)
Kanal: ESNS 02
Datum: ons, Jan 19
Tid: 21:00 – 21:10
Stockholm based Vero debuted in 2019 with the EP ‘Saxophones and Danger Zones’, got signed by independent PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd, HOLY) and released their sequel EP there in 2020. Flirting with 90’s alt-rock, the group is currently in the studio finishing their debut album, due early 2022. The sound has grown more defined, rock ‘n roll-esque, polished yet still dirty. Inspired by bands such as Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Yo La Tengo, Vero are ready as ever to hit the stage.
