Rob Berends writes:
Last weekend I learned that Hans Pieters had said goodbye to life. The times were not on his side.
The farewell-ceremony was last Monday.
Hans was an impressive human being, and a brilliant bass-player. He was in Poppi Uk, the second band I ever worked for, and the first Dutch band at that. I was Poppi Uk's booking agent throughout the band's existence (1981-1992) and I was close with all of them.
I was not the only one who thought Poppi Uk were a brilliant band: John Peel invited them for a Peel-session, Dave Henderson released a compilation-album on his Dead Man's Curve label, record company Community 3 from New York signed the band, Rock Summer Festival in Estonia invited them to play there during the 'indepence'-edition of 1991 (when Estonia was almost independent from the Soviet-Union), etc.
Poppi Uk covered Tuxedomoon's song 'No Tears' once. Last Monday this song was played during the farewell-ceremony. Needless to say that the title did not apply.
Hans will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

In most countries. corona restrictions are being lifted or eased, while the vaccination campaigns are progressing.
That all sounds like good news, and many live-music-events can indeed happen in the next few months.
However, the highly infectious delta-variant from the virus shows that it's all unpredictable, and we are concerned that a careless summer will mean another (devastating) lock-down for the live-music bizz in the Autumn.
Hopefully the delta-variant can be kept in check, and the fantastic artists listed here below will find their way to your festival!

English rock-sensation Hardwicke Circus will release their debut album 'The Borderland' on July 23. Check out these video 'Let's Make New Mistakes' and 'Walking On Broken Glass' taken from the new album.

10cc will play the brand-new Amare theatre in Den Haag, The Netherlands, on Friday October 29 this year. This spectacularly designed venue replaces (a.o.) Zuiderstrandtheater. Ticket sales have started.See below for the full Dutch tour by 10cc this year.

The original choir of Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares is available for shows in the Netherlands in September '22. They had to switch to the name of The Bulgarian Choir Angelité, and their music is just as mystical as it was when they started in '87.

In September/October of this year, Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot will return to the Netherlands and Belgium with her impressive show 'Riot Days'. Two dates are still available for shows in the west and south of Belgium: September 26/27.

New York roots ensemble Hazmat Modine is working on a new album, that will be released in spring '22. In July '22 they have a confirmed festival in the south of the Netherlands, and are available for 1-2 more shows. See below for available dates.

Adorcism is what Ifriqiyya Electrique will offer you with their show. This is a healing ritual of possession and trance, a centuries old heritage brought here by former slaves who had been sold in North Africa. A syncretism between animism and Islam, Diwan (Algeria), Gnawa (Morocco), Stambeli and Banga (Tunisia). In the spring they are available for shows in the Netherlands.

A Band Called E (USA)
website, facebook, instagram, twitter, bandcamp, label
E (also known as A Band Called E) from Boston (MA) is Jason Sidney Sanford (Neptune), Thalia Zedek (Come, Uzi, Live Skull) and Gavin McCarthy (Karate).
E makes angular, energized, and idiosyncratic rock music. These accomplished and inventive musicians could not be more different in the way they express themselves but their ego-less dedication to ensemble playing and writing shapes E’s distinct sound.
Negative Work, their second album, is the product of three individuals whose dedication to the collaborative process may very well be the source of compelling tension underlying their songs.
Their third album "Complications" was released last year.

This fresh 6-piece from Carlisle, in the far North-West of England, delivers an exhilarating sound that mixes blues-rock with sometimes punky rock'n'roll, reminiscent of The Rolling Stones, The Boomtown Rats, Tom Petty, or Graham Parker. Still, they sound very much present-day, with a clear social agenda.
Hardwicke Circus has played a lot of shows in the U.K. and Ireland already, including some of the major U.K.-festivals, and several shows in London. The future looks bright now that the band has been picked up by manager Dave Robinson (formerly Stiff Records, Island Records).

Live Skull (USA)
facebook, wiki
Formed in 1982, the quintessential New York noise band Live Skull are back with two brand-new albums in two years: 'Saturday Night Massacre' saw the light of day late 2019, and December 11, 2020 saw the release of another classic: 'Dangerous Visions'. Together with other New York bands Sonic Youth and Swans, Live Skull defined the term "noise rock".
In his much-quoted review for The New York Times, Robert Palmer declared, "With each new record, New York's Live Skull delivers a more concentrated brand of emotional intensity, a more ferociously disciplined sonic assault".
Often brutal and yet strangely seductive, full of hooks and emotional intensity, and with a drone-dance-quality that reminds us of the early Velvet Underground.
After a gap of 30 years, Live Skull are back!

Minimal Compact (ISR)

Formed in Amsterdam in 1980, Minimal Compact were part of the original post-punk explosion – and remain one of its most distinctive voices. The band developed a unique mix of propulsive rhythms, spacious bass lines, rich keyboard textures, mesmeric guitar lines, and vocal melodies with a Middle-Eastern inflection. They sounded like nothing that had gone before.
Well-known releases include the album 'Deadly Weapons' (with club-hit ‘Next One Is Real’) and 'Raging Souls'.
Minimal Compact have now reconvened, together with producer and long-time collaborator Colin Newman (of post-punk legends Wire), who will also perform with the band live in May 2020, to record part of their material in the best possible way, with a brand-new song as a bonus.
