Incubate – Hardcore Fest @ Hall Of Fame
Every year Incubate takes complete charge of Tilburg (NL) for about a week. Usually hardcoreshows are spread all over the fest, but this time they’re concentrating the hardcore and putting on a hardcore fest @ the Hall Of Fame featuring the almighty TRIAL. Doesn’t sound too shabby, does it?
We’ll probably do some more coverage on the fest, but for now check out the complete line-up:
23:30/00:15 Trial (US)
22:15/23:00 Anchor (SW)
21:00/21:45 Gold Kids (IT)
19:45/20:30 Oathbreaker (BE)
18:30/19:00 Run With The Hunted (US)
17:30/18:00 No Turning Back (NL)
16:30/17:00 This Routine Is Hell (NL)
15:30/16:00 Daggers (BE)
What’s a hardcore show without DIY food and some distro’s right? They took care of this too. Just Like Your Mom (Can I do a shout out to Etjen for hooking us up with the best vans ever with S&D?) will take care of the vegetarian food during the day and Shield Recordings, Reflections Records and Typewriter will take their distro’s to the fest.
And that’s not all. The Hall of Fame will be open for skateboarding, so bring your deck!
Got excited? Pick up a ticket!
Aside from this hardcore fest we would also like to recommend you (amongst others, because there’s tons of good stuff to check out) Richie Dagger’s (ex Restless Youth) show on Monday and Michael Azzerad’s (author of Our Band Could Be Your Life and Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana amongst others) talk at the DIY conference on Friday. Just check out the Incubate site for the complete line-up and details.
Back to news overview
Yesterday I went to see the movie Noise and Resistance which was screening as a part of Incubate. Great movie about DIY music from all over the world including interviews with Seein Red, CRASS, and lots more.
I good way for me to start this year’s Incubate.
Too bad i didn’t get a chance to go and see Noise and Resistance. Any idea if it will be screened anywhere else?
Let’s see what the rest of the Incubate week did for me.
Wednesday we had this free piano + picnic on the playground of my son’s elementary school which was really cool. In the afternoon I took him to this jazzclub where incubate did a kid’s event.
Today I went to the lecture by Michael Azzared (Our Band Could Be Your Life) and my wife sold lots of great books there.
Trial and Anchor tomorrow!
