Kraakpand 2.8 met o.a. Team William & You Raskal You

Team William

One day William had a dream… He wanted his own indie pop band. From that day on, he spends all his time and money making that dream come true. Team William took shape in Williams's country retreat in Switzerland. All members are the result of a long qualifying race. William taught them not to play too tight, not to take themselves too seriously, to reduce the use of solos, to be as arrogant as possible and to put all their love into the music. Their numerous influences include Weezer, Bob Dylan, The Ramones, Fountains of Wayne, Wolf Parade Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and many others. Team William sounds like summer has finally started!

You Raskal You

You Raskal You is an Antwerp band with twins on guitars, a Siamese rhythm section joined at the hip, four-piece vocals and a keyboard player with a playing style that is indebted to the Game Boy. Their equally exciting and heart-warming sound leaves no one unmoved: the musical equivalent of swimming with dolphins.

MINGUZ

The idea for MINGUZ originated in Antwerp during the long hot summer of 2006. MINGUZ makes songs for bass, drums and male voice, occasionally supplemented with original samples. MINGUZ's rule: A song only comes to life when the composer gives it a soul. Silence and Emptiness are like musical instruments and deserve as much attention as music and text. Groove and Punch have multiple meanings and many faces. MINGUZ has nothing to do with Mr. Charles Mingus, nor with a so-called fish. MINGUZ is Doozy on bass & vocals and Joez on drums & sampler.
