Lineup

1. The Krontjong Devils (NL)

   

   Straight from ‘Surf City Groningen’, the Krontjong Devils have been throwing some marvellous instrumental surf music over the years. All following the recipe: sun, sea, Southern California and Dick Dale.

   
   

   And yet there's no pigeonholing the K-Devils!

   Straight from ‘Surf City Groningen’, a name borrowed from a broadcast of the late TV program Lola Da Musica, the Krontjong Devils have been throwing some marvellous instrumental surf music over the years. All following the recipe: sun, sea, Southern California and Dick Dale.

   
   

   In 1994, those fresh surf sounds were pressed on real black vinyl for the first time. “Moovin’ with the Krontjong Devils” on Kogar Records has become a collector’s item. And instrumental music knows no boundaries: the Californian quality label Hillsdale Records released an EP by the Devils in the nineties.

   
   

   In 2022 the LP “Music From The Stars, Volume 1 (a journey through space and time)” was released on the German Topsy-Turvy Label. This new record by the Krontjong Devils is full of proven 70s/80s hits as instrumental surf tunes.
   Who would have ever expected Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”, Kim Wilde’s “Cambodia” or Julio Iglesias’s “Quiero” on the Krontjong Devils’ repertoire?

   
   

   As it turns out, there's no pigeonholing the K-Devils!

3.  (BE)

   

   Baríton Loco brings the rawness and finesse back from the instrumental 50s and 60s and don’t try to hide their history in the heavier music genres. Think of the sound of Link Wray, the attitude of The Cramps and the class of Mancini.

   
   

   Not for the faint of heart!

   The debut EP “Down Below” by Baríton Loco blows away all expectations of the clean ‘Beach Boy sound’ in surf rock! This surf rock quartet brings the rawness and finesse back from the instrumental 50s and 60s and don’t try to hide their history in the heavier music genres. Think of the sound of Link Wray, the attitude of The Cramps and the class of Mancini.

   
   

   Founded in the home of family Declercq in 2019, they played their first show at the blues club Missy Sippy, the same place where they released their EP. The long concert-silence following their first show didn’t hold brothers Danté and Faust back of producing a short devilish EP that captivates the live energy of Baríton Loco on vinyl. What you can expect from “Down Below” is: mean twangy guitars, a piercing bass six, raw driving drums and a nice cup of fuzz mixed in.

   
   

   “Down Below” is the ideal soundtrack for your slasher horror film. Not for the faint of heart!

4.  (NL)

   

   With roots in The Mono‑Tones, The Surf‑O‑Maniacs and The Ribble Chips and a record collection full of Dick Dale, Astronauts and Surfaris, Tilburg locals The Malbehavers blast their songs, full of wild surf guitars, across the dance floor.

   
   

   Sonic beach party.

   The wild surf guitars of Tilburg locals The Malbehavers, for a sonic beach party!
   Instrumental surf music from the days when ponytails were still worn high on the head, swimming trunks were still fitting tight around the scrotum, and when you could still shamelessly shake your hips on the dance floor.
