Golden Oriole is de Engelse benaming voor de Wielewaal; de bijna geheel knalgele, Euraziatische zangvogel die ook in Nederland voorkomt. Het is ook de naam van de Noorse band die bestaat uit tweederde Staer leden. Staer stond al drie keer in Rotterdam (WORM; Oct 27, 2012) en wie ze aan 't werk gezien heeft is zonder meer overtuigd van hun kunnen. Golden Oriole is het vervolg op Staer en zal deze smetteloze reputatie intact houden. Celestial Bodies is het volbloedige grafherrie project van René Aquarius en Vincent Koreman; beiden vaandeldragers van de Nederlandse underground. Zij hebben net hun prachtdebuut uit op het toonaangevende I, Voidhanger records.

GOLDEN ORIOLE (no / Staer members)
This duo comprises two-thirds of the mighty Staer, one of the best bands coming out of Norway in the past decade. It may be conjecture but we reckon Staer have won over pretty much every single person that have seen them perform live. The trio first spread its counter-cultural wings in 2008, gradually developing their bizarre bass-heavy instrumental noise rock. Golden Oriole is a direct continuation of Staer, keen on advancing their infectious and hypnotic music. They will release their debut on Drid Machine Records this March. Go see these guys, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

CELESTIAL BODIES (nl)
Debut Live show from this unholy union of Vincent Koreman (NIHILL, Drug Culture, etc.) and René Aquarius (Dead Neanderthals). From Nihill they inherited the pitch-black and noise-drenched sound that is deeply rooted in gnosticism and occultism, while they borrowed the avant-garde, free-jazz and improv sensibilities from Dead Neanderthals. Celestial Bodies' debut “Spit Forth From Chaos” is a cacophonous blend of anti-cosmic black metal and raw noise, propelled by an imperious drumming, tossing the listener into a nightmarish dimension where everything is Chaos, and Chaos is everything. The album was released on I, Voidhanger - one of the most adventurous labels currently active in the metal scene.

DJ ARUM SUPER (fr)
DJ arum super is the non-live performance alias of DJ Urine – a Parisian sound artist who creates literal sound collages from fragments of vinyl records. This evening he will 'just' play tunes; spicing up things nicely with a mix of mostly Southeast Asian popular music and various sound oddities. You might hear an instrumental Spazz track with bollywood vocals on top or 50s Japanese easy listening soundtracks mixed with noise.
