TisDass (Niger)
OCCII, Saturday, October 3 at 09:00 PM GMT+2
TisDass – rock touareg from Niger
TisDass, hailing from Niger, is set for another European tour in 2026. Following the military putsch in August 2023, which led to the cancellation of a significant portion of their tour, the band successfully returned to European stages in 2025 with 32 dates across 9 countries.
Tisdass is led by singer-guitarist Moussa Kildjate Albadé, and is based in Niamey with roots in Tchintabaraden, a town emblematic of the Tamasheq kel of Niger. “TisDass” means ‘Pillars‘ in Tamasheq, a reference to the pillars of traditional Berber tents. This name signifies the group’s deep connection to their culture, which they aim to defend and promote through their powerful music.
Houmaïssa, released by Bolingo Art/Rebel Up (Inouïe Distribution), is named after a Tuareg symbol exclusively worn by women. With this album, TisDass pays homage to women, who are considered the pillars of the family in Tuareg society. While the album features a quicker tempo, the acoustic tracks “Tara” (Love) and “Itag Aguen” (Many things are happening) maintain the distinctive sound of Sahelian music. The remaining tracks showcase the rock direction the band has embraced on stage. The songs’ themes consistently reflect the Tuareg people’s desire and hope for peace, as heard in “Taflist” (Trust), “Derhan” (Hope), and “Ikewagne” (Root).
The inspiration for a third album arose when the current line-up toured to support Amanar (Bolingo Art), recorded in 2019 and released in 2021 (Inouïe Distribution). Since then, TisDass‘ music has evolved into a decidedly rock sound with more danceable tracks, thanks to the contributions of rhythm guitarist Mouhamed Khamed Assalerh, the faster drumming of young Issoufou Dan Nana Ichaya, and the enhanced groove from experienced bassist Bouba Hamidine Souleymane. The ever-present backing vocals and claps further enrich their sound.

STEPMOTHER (Lukas Simonis, Jeroen Visser, Bill Gilonis/Dirk Bruinsma, Tisa Neža Herlec & Philipp Ernsting) + More TBC
OCCII, Friday, October 16 at 08:30 PM GMT+2
STEPMOTHER is Lukas Simonis (Dull Schicksal, Bazip Zeehok, Coolhaven ...), Jeroen Visser (Kazanchis, morFrom ...), Bill Gilonis (The Work, The Hat Shoes, Hail ...), since this second record -only 10 years after the first- also including Tisa Neža Herlec aka Tisa World (multidisciplinarian) and Philipp Ernsting (ao. Albatre). The live version lacks Gilonis but Dirk Bruinsma (ao. Blast, Pumporgan) replaces him on bass.
About STEPMOTHER and their ‘new’ album; “Bring me flowers and tell me you love me ̈ ...
It took slightly long before this second album was finished, maybe due to the fact that the band members live in different countries, but although some material was written not long after the first album was finished, it lacked something that wasn’t necessary when that first album was made; a good singer. So in comes Tisa World and within a very short time the album was finally finished. What can we expect that is different from the first album?Then it was “...Anglo-American-Dutch post-punk prog rock and experimental soundscapes with a dash of Bonzo Dog Band thrown in...” -totally untrue-
What more could you ask for? The journey we are taking this time is as eclectic as before, musically with nifty electronics, spooky horn sections, noisy guitars, great drumming by
Ernsting and on top of that, Tisa World’s evince voice that is able to go forward in all directions without losing it’s authenticity, lyrically we go from succulent plants to more great trading days that are great, goblin markets and drunken gamblers. Can we say this? Yes we can this: he record is much more than a sum of its parts – and again it’s beautifully packed to boot, with artwork by Alfred Boland.https://stepmother-newrelease.bandcamp.com/album/bring-me-flowers-and-tell-me-you-love-me

Dim Pinks + Venus Tropicaux + My Purse + DJ Steve
Three female-fronted bands: starting dreamy-noisy, moving into raw melodic punk, and ending with fresh playful meaningful punk
Dim Pinks
Dim Pinks – I Don't Want To (Official Video)
Dim Pinks make dreamy noisy music that captures life’s ups and downs and everything in between. On their new EP Universe they place everyday themes against a cosmic backdrop. Their sound brings to mind The Breeders, Pixies and Horsegirl, with hints of Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo.Venus Tropicaux
Venus Tropicaux – Lagrimas
Venus Tropicaux is a no wave band from Rotterdam. The band makes raw, idiosyncratic punk with a strong DIY mentality and a love for short, explosive sets. Ten years after releasing their first and only EP Lycra Pants, Venus Tropicaux will release their debut album independently in 2027.My Purse
My Purse – I Smell (Official video)
My Purse has been making waves in Amsterdam. With members from Yodel Queen, Cardigan Inn, and Hondenfokker, they bring a new multi-vocal celebration of playful punk and lots of fresh energy. As a female punk band, they feel it’s important to make music that reflects their perspective. Songs are strange and funny, but usually with an underlying message. Throughout 2026 they are bringing out new singles, DIY animated clips, and a new album.Presale/door prices adjusted: our events are set up by volunteers in favour of supporting DIY touring acts, but it is getting ever more risky to plan and book events – please support the community and buy your tickets early!

HALLOWS + Orus Boris + Grauzone DJ team | grauzone presents
Cinetol, Friday, September 25 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
HALLOWS
HALLOWS is een in Los Angeles gevestigd dark electropop-duo, bestaande uit Vanee Dusoruth en Dom Rolando, beiden afkomstig uit Mauritius. Hun muziek ontstond vanuit de underground punkscene en brengt 80s synths en moderne elektronica samen in een sound die tegelijk dansbaar en melancholisch is. Met invloeden uit new wave, donkere elektronica en een sterke focus op emotie beweegt HALLOWS zich tussen de dansvloer en heartbreak. Live vertaalt dat zich naar energieke, fysiek intense shows die nog lang blijven hangen. For fans of Desire, Pixel Grip en Nuovo Testamento.
Sinds hun debuut-EP Subtle (2020) bouwde HALLOWS gestaag aan een plek binnen de moderne dark electronic scene. Albums als All That Is True (2021) en A Quieter Life (2023) leverden onder meer de fan-favorieten “All That Is True Dies”, “Talk To Me” en “Things That Hurt” op, en brachten het duo op festivals als Absolution Fest, Freakout Fest, Substance Fest en Verboden Fest. In 2025 tekende HALLOWS bij Artoffact Records en volgde hun eerste Europese tour. Hun derde album Dream (2026) is een filmisch en hartstochtelijk album over toxic love, verlies en de drang naar menselijke verbinding, waarin analoge productie, pulserende baslijnen, glinsterende synths en urgente én tedere vocalen samenkomen.
ORUS BORIS
Orus Boris is een coldwave-croonerproject onder leiding van de Rotterdamse Paul Mogwitz. Wankelende synthesizerlijnen vermengen zich met door New Romantic beïnvloede vocalen, gehuld in lo-fi melancholie. Een soundtrack voor langzame dansen in Italiaanse horrorfilms uit de jaren 80, lange ritten door besneeuwde stadslandschappen en diensten in schaars verlichte fabrieken.
GRAUZONE
Grauzone presenteert een divers en vooruitstrevend programma waarin muziek, film en kunst elkaar aanvullen. Het programma biedt ruimte aan zowel jong talent als gevestigde namen die geworteld zijn in of beïnvloed zijn door de undergroundmuziekscene, van new wave en elektronica tot psychedelische en experimentele muziek. Het Grauzone DJ Team bestaat uit Natasja Alers en Marc Emmerik, de oprichters en organisatoren van het Nederlandse Grauzone Festival. Ze draaien een donkere, energieke mix van postpunk, new wave, EBM en Italo disco.
