MARATHON (Indie)
PRINCE ALBERT

Marathon is not just a band, it’s a top-level sport. The Amsterdam-based trio is bursting with energy, and it explodes out of them on stage, captivating audiences everywhere they go. Marathon’s music is a passionate response to the crisis-ridden twenty-first century, channelling the energy of punk and the dissonance of shoegaze and post-punk to give voice to urban anxiety. Marathon is a band that demands attention, and their growing fan base is a testament to their undeniable talent.

LOUPE (Indie Rock)
PATTERNS DOWNSTAIRS
May 17 // 12:30pm
ONE CHURCH
May 18 // 9:15pm
Amsterdam-Antwerp indie rock formation Loupe has the unique gift of sounding both impulsive and hypnotic: a fluid sound in which styles such as synth pop, alternative folk and indie rock are expressed through their unique chemistry. The smooth, aerodynamic grooves of Annemarie, the melodic basslines of Lana and the dynamic, virtuoso playing of Abel form a kind of secret language. The recent addition of singer Nina Ouattara gives Loupe a unique voice to push the band towards a new creative path; the new single Tested Waters sounds both effortlessly groovy and intricate at the same time, and combines dark, moody lyrics with memorable sing-along hooks.
SARAH JULIA (Alternative Indie)

Inspired by a variety of artists (including Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief and Joni Mitchell), Sarah Julia create music that considers both folk and pop influences with the use of their songwriting and sonics. Woven through the sisters’ two vocals in considered harmony.
