[Frontfrau, die]
een vrouw die een leidende rol aanneemt in een band, organisatie of beweging; ze treedt naar buiten als vertegenwoordiger en neemt het voortouw – vooral wanneer er sprake is van weerstand.
Drie vrouwen, drie bands, drie geluiden. De stoelen gaan aan de kant; dansen is wellicht noodzakelijk.
NEST – Nederlandstalige indie pop met ska & punk invloeden
Stella Luft – Duitstalige en Engelstalige alternatieve elektronische pop
no:la – Experimentele pop / triphop uit Duitsland
Entree: gratis/vrijwillige bijdrage
///ENGLISH
[Frontfrau, die]
a woman who takes a leading role in a band, organization, or cause, representing it publicly and taking the lead — especially in the face of opposition.
Three women, three bands, three sounds. Chairs will be removed, dancing might be necessary.
Nest — Dutch indie pop with ska & punk influences
Stella Luft — German & English alternative electronic pop
no:la — Experimental pop / trip-hop from Germany
Entry: free/donation-based
Nest
Who gave these five idiots instruments to play? And why are these songs so catchy, yet so angry? NEST is a scrapbook of frustration with Dutch lyrics that’ll have you crying and music
that will have you flying (over the dance floor). They take everything that rubs them the wrong way, devour it and spit it back out. Is it pop? Is it punk? Is it ska? No, it’s NEST.
NEST is the embodiment of unrest. Tessa (the front woman of NEST) started this project to give words to this unrest in the hopes of trying to understand it better.
Meanwhile, it has transformed into an explosion of frustration about inequality, hypocrisy and about how people could ever choose to stomp all over each other. NEST asks the question: are you angry or are you scared?
For fans of Sophie Straat, Doe Maar and Wolf Alice.
Stella Luft
Stella Luft creates electronic alternative pop in English and German, combining deep bass-driven productions with layered synths, powerful vocals, and hypnotic melodies. Her
sound balances delicate vulnerability with bold, danceable energy. Luft is German for “air” - as her artistic concept, it symbolises spaciousness, openness, and a sense of freedom where emotions are allowed to be transformed through sound. Transformation is the core of Stella Luft's music, inspired by her own journey of reinvention. Having rebuilt her own life by following her heart, she inspires others to embrace change, trust themselves, and choose their own path. Her debut EP amsterdam / berlin is a journey of being caught in the push and pull between two emotional extremes, dealing with questions like: How far am I removing myself from myself for the sake of love? And how do I find my way back to myself? Stella Luft’s new material takes this journey a step further. Written from a perspective that has moved beyond anxiety into empowerment, it embodies a self-loving persona that puts herself first and knows where she stands.
no:la
no:las last concert in this formation! Since their formation in 2020 in Leipzig, Germany, no:la has been creating a fusion of atmospheric trip-hop, jazz, indie, and experimental pop. In 2021, the band released their first EP „Outlines“, followed by the single „BANGS“ in 2022. At the end of 2024, no:la kicked off the final chapter in this formation, which will come to an end on October 24, 2026, at De Nijverheid in Utrecht. no:las EP „blindly and fast“ deals with the feeling of being overwhelmed. It speaks of that moment when you realize that the outside world doesn’t align with what’s inside. When you can’t meet the expectations placed on you. The EP tells of the gap that forms when you sometimes have to respond faster than you even knew how to ask the questions. Blindly and fast – that’s how it has to be sometimes. no:la is made up of Jakob, Nola, Georg, and Anton, playing synth bass and electric bass, effected vocals, drums, and synthesizer. They draw on the sound and spirit of ’90s and 2000s trip-hop and transform it into a modern, electronic and experimental pop sound - all performed live. Come and celebrate six years of trippyness with us on October 24!
