Space Siren & HOWRAH & FIEP

Space Siren

During its existence, Space Siren was a sharp band within the Dutch underground and formed the solid noise foundation of Subroutine Records for years. Even now that Space Siren has to stop, their influence lives on in fantastic bands such as WOLVON, The Sweet Release of Death, and (of course) HOWRAH. During the COVID years, forgotten recordings such as the EP DGDABE were released, once again demonstrating how unique Space Siren was: gritty, dreamy, and full of energy. Now they bring a mix of outtakes and old favorites to the stage—layered guitars, pedal violence, and pure joy of playing.

HOWRAH..., All CAPS, because they can and because they know how to make a real impact. They've made another good impression with their third album, Ends And Means. The unmistakable HOWRAH sound is fuller and tighter than ever, without losing any of its rough edges. The band, with roots in the Dutch underground (Zoppo, Seesaw, The Howl Ensemble, Space Siren), has developed a unique, compelling sound since its inception in 2016 and will also be playing one of their last concerts tonight. After January 23, both bands will be calling it quits.

The bands have two shows together in Germany this week, but are coming back especially for Eindhoven to say goodbye. The playful and quirky FIEP will be joining them on stage.

FIEP – the project surrounding musician and songwriter Veerle Suzanna Driessen – writes accurate indie rock songs that dig deeper than just a catchy hook and sharp melody. Veerle also reveals everything that lies beneath the surface of the proverbial iceberg: the restlessness, the doubts, the reflections, and the dreams. A surprising twist and a playful observation are always lurking.
