ACU

New addition, joins the bill! We have Impact Fest at home.

Cassus are a four-piece screamo band from Norwich, United Kingdom, formed in 2012. They stand as one of the most dynamic and diverse screamo bands in the genre, with a litany of vocal stylings, a blend of melody and chaos, and the ability to craft unique songs that aren’t afraid to defy genre archetypes. This makes for an incredible album listening experience. It’s a rare occurrence to hear a band push the envelope on a genre already mastercrafted by so many incredible acts, but Cassus take the plunge into the unique and experimental, making them a definite talking point for screamo fans.

EXTRA! EXTRA! We have a very special last minute announcement! ACU will be celebrating pride with its very own volunteer organized par-tayyy!

Vinnieragua's One Man Acid Band will play 2 July in ACU.

Bring your own earplugs, so that you don't have to use disposables. It is going to be fun.

For all your eectronic experiments.

Buildup starts at 19:00.
The bar is open at: 19:00
We start playing around 20:00 – 20:30.

We do generally not use the stage. Half a circle of tables is set up on the floor. If you arrive at 19:00 you can claim a spot and have roughly 1 – 1,5 hour to setup and mingle and be there for your line check. Everyone who shows up at 19:00 gets 10 minutes to play. All forms of Electronic experiments and all genres are welcome. This is the place to be if have been planning to try out your DIY solder experiments, give your sampler a try, Make clever poetry with a looper pedal and some field recordings, wanted to use your synthesiser for a crowd, like to make some harsh noise walls, want to live code visuals on your laptop or are a DIY instrument enthusiast in general. Go wild.

Note if you are an electric guitar player and you don’t have a need for a table then this event is probably not for you.
This is a night for people who want to use their guitar as a midi controller, let it be played by circuitbent roomba, push it trough a modular synth or mangle it in an other way past any form of recognition.

Practical stuff:
We have DI’s, a projector with an HDMI cable, tables to put your gear on, microphone stands, microphones lights and a PA system .
Our assumption is that everyone has a single mono or stereo output.
Let us know if you need more than that hour to setup (this includes the line check), or if you have some unusual outputs. -> eectronicopenstage at acu dot nl.

Entrance: Free.
