So what's in store?
GINGE will be present, the Utrecht-based, sultry soul singer who surprised us with her latin-flavoured, anti-Xmas dinner pop song this year.
S.LOIS will be performing. Our mascotte. The banjo-wielding maestro from Meppel. The bluegrass boogieman. it's his third time at CAGG and certainly not his last. This is the gorgeous tearjerker he released this season:
We are very pleased that Patrick PONDERTONE is performing with a band. His Christmas songs have been highlights on the blog every year. He is upfront about his politically tinted, humane and anti-capitalist opinions in such a way that you can sing along. And although he said he wouldn’t record Christmas music, he did so anyway. Once you’ve been pricked by the pine needles… He’s also bringing a sizeable band to Paradiso. Blast from the past, but new song coming up: TRUUS DE GROOT is Dutch punk royalty. She can say she recruited Lee Renaldo in her band, performed with Rhys Chatham, has an eclectic back catalogue AND a personal view on Christmas classics. This promises to be...different.
ROBIN KESTER made the bestest Dutch rock album last year, so said the two leading newspapers in Holland. Which was totally correct. She was part of the Clean Pete Christmas revue and wrote the magnificent ‘Small Christmas Tree’. This year she will perform a new version of her song, which serves as an ode to her granddad. And she will sing flawlessly and with guitar reverberation.
THE MIETERS play beatmuziek. Garage rock. Nederbiet. Surf rock. Give it a name. In Dutch. We had 'm on the blog with their gigantically cool Christmas tune earlier, and they're rehearsing new stuff as we speak. This will be totally MIETERS:
THE GREY PANTS are Henk and Elke. You know Henk as the singer of Hallo Venray, a cultband in Holland who made several totally fantastic rock albums. As The Grey Pants, Elke and Henk made two very charming indiepop albums, a new one is on the way. They're debuting their Christmas tracks this year at CAGG!
