OCCII, Saturday, February 27 at 08:00 PM GMT+1
LIONSTORM is returning to OCCII in this *FLINTA line up.
Lionstorm
LIONSTORM is a heavy queercore duo from Amsterdam, the Netherlands consisting of romantic partners Ski and Stars. They labelled their energetic gory style Dyke Goth Drill and make music based in the horrorcore, industrial metal and reggaeton genres. Their work embodies queerness, weirdness and challenging social norms.
Their raw style reflects in their lyrics, performances, music videos, and merchandise which they all release under the same label. They’ve collaborated with pioneers such as Quay Dash, Grove and Backxwash.
They are known for their extreme live performances, expect to twerk in the middle of a bloody mosh pit. Leave your expectations at the door and get pulled into LIONSTORM’s world. It got them a Japanese and European tour and shows at festivals such as Rolling Loud Netherlands The Great Escape UK and Fusion Festival Germany.
The duo isn’t afraid of tearing down societal expectations, resulting in bans on all social platforms (even YouTube) but that only makes them more dedicated to their mission. Their debut album KING IS DEAD is set to release February 2027 and will reintroduce them more musically diverse and bloodthirsty than ever.
Pretty Ugly
THEY DEFINITELY STOLE MY NAME, BUT I AM STILL INVITING THEM TO THE SHOW.
court jester, truth teller, part-time medium & your fav twink. in prettyugly’s repertoire, you will find a mix of gym bro culture, mysticism, truths in drag, shapeshifting, speculation, a passion for mirrors, disappearance-into-noise, and at times gay porn (with a touch of romance) prettyugly likes images that collapse on themselves. they work with worldbuilding, creating stories as if they were a house of cards, which they dismantle with a blow and patiently build from scratch again.
