Live performances:
Saturday, Nov 7, 2009:
Dress (Holland) (pop/alternative/indie) and AwkwardI (Holland) (other)
DRESS: Amsterdam's electro-acoustic duo: Jochem Klijnman & Bjorn Uyens.For the past eight years, Dress has been quietly and steadily building a very solid, loyal fan base. Their blend of solo drums, rounded Rhodes sounds and Bjornís vocal style which is reminiscent of Kurt Cobain with a bit of Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) has made them a favorite to anyone who has seen them perform live.
Opening for Dress, AwkwrdI: Djurre de Haan: (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Diederik Nomden (keys, percussion, guitar, vocals) Jelte van Andel (cello, bass, vocals) Susanne Linssen (violin, vocals).

Saturday Nov 14, 2009:
Vicky Lovecat (Belgium) (singer-songwriter)
Imagine this: a blend of Joni Mitchell, PJ Harvey, and Suzanne Vega with a splash of Lady Gaga and you get Jasmine Wynants a.k.a. Vicky Lovecat. Formerly one half of The Jack Stafford Foundation, Jasmine has taken some of the tongue-and-cheek humor she was known for and added it to some intensely personal tales which are sung by her alter ego Vicky Lovecat. In her distinctively soothing voice layered over some deceptively simple melodies, Vicky Lovecat reaches deep into your soul and sometimes makes you laugh at it all.

Friday Nov 27, 2009:
Kingalita and Turo Rudy Gipsy Band (Hungary, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Serbia.) (Gypsy/Oriental/Balkan)
Kingalita and Turo Rudy Gipsy band has an almost embarrassing amount of talented musicians. So, how fast this band has gained a reputation and popularity with the Amsterdam ìin the knowî crowd is no surprise. Through their uplifting Gypsy/Oriental/Balkan crossover music and high energy charismatic performances, you know thereís always going to be a party atmosphere – so bring your dancing shoes as the dance floor is sure to be / swinging/crowded/gezellig/hopping! An interesting bit of information; Turo Rudi Gypsy Band takes its name from a famous Hungarian cheese/chocolate bar.
