Ryskinder + Those Foreign Kids

Sunday, February 16, 20:30, entrance € 8 / € 6 (students)

RYSKINDER
Jerusalem’s Underground Pioneer Ryskinder creates a loopy and sample heavy version of rock ‘n roll by unleashing beats and guitar riffs from his sampler and singing / rapping in Hebrew. Ryskinder shows are a wild fusion of Live electronics, Punk Attitude, Hip-Hop rythmes and Warm Psych rock riffs.

THOSE FOREIGN KIDS
Those Foreign Kids’ daredevil stage antics and smoldering, cataclysmic garage punk anthems notwithstanding, the duo manages to elude their odds-on spectacular collapse. Westerlaken still wields a myriad of (custom) guitar effects like some punch drunk orchestra conductor, while Heijmans seems inclined to inflict havoc on his skins for the sole purpose of quelling the inner voices in his head.

Any other band might’ve been at each others throats, but TFK seems to take it all in stride with demented bemusement. As their spur-of-the-moment ‘let’s start a band’ pact a decade ago betokens, Heijmans and Westerlaken entrust their creative instincts to chaos and randomness instead of letting those things to impede on their delightfully knee-jerk stage dynamic.

Before the imagination can run rampant, you have to start with an empty canvas.. a void of sheer nothingness. And luckily, TFK embrace sheer randomness and escapism for the sake of just THAT.
