Venue: DB’s, Utrecht (The Netherlands)
By: Sabine van Gameren
Pollination event was on for the night, Easter eggs have been found during the day and the evening was there to find some music.
 Staatseinde was the first band to play. They are a little mysterious and it may take a bit before getting the cause of it. A mix of electro pop and new wave makes them float between the hip electro scene and the dark electro scene. A little IAMX with a wink to acts like Diorama and Solar Fake.
The band has some show elements in their performance which makes this act the most interesting to watch but as many people decide: it’s danceable as well. A little humor is included and this makes the performance even more silly. A nice start of the evening. |
| Less of an active show comes from van Zoon van Snook. These Brits have a story behind the name. The story of a Belgian immigrant. Their music is electronic and all sorts of instruments and effects are used to spice up their set. In the start of their set it seems like most people just want to observe and the music does not really hit grounds by those who have not heard it before but the final part of their set was more danceable. Overall they brought a diverse set in which they showed different sides and styles blending into their own set. |
| Viso <> Nero is also coming from UK and brings a set with drum and bass and dubstep Although most of the audience was already warmed up by other acts, the party took off a little later than expected. This is not really a band to observe at all, so the dancing seems the right thing to do. Who was waiting for a smile, could have a hard time waiting, the duo seemed to focused on what they are doing to have any interaction going on. Most people seem to appreciate it anyway. |
Finally the evening was ending with Chrome, a dj. Quite some people went home though. After all it is still a Sunday, but for those who have been there until the end it was a good closure of a the festival.
