Cover The Cage is an untamable group of students. Besides making music, they have only one goal: Party!

A full night in which the hits just keep on coming, that’s the unique talent of CTC. Whether it’s the groovy eighties, the raving nineties, or the singalong zeroes, this band does it all. Well. It might just so happen that you’ll hear Coldplay, Haddaway, Madness and Mumford & Suns in quick succession. Anything goes for these musicians from the coastal town of Katwijk. From rock to rave and from funk to folk. Even the newest hits don’t scare them. A CTC-show is a full night of surprising and humorous twists and turns. Since their formation in 2012, the band members are all about having a good time, but quality as well. They managed to go through to the grand final of the 2014 Clash of the Coverbands. These six musicians have all been making music at a high level for years.

Powerful, tight and catchy. That’s the motto with which Cover Up gets on stage every single time. These Amsterdammers are used to being the life of the party, and it shows!

Everyone’s favoritve hits from the eighties until now are the cornerstone of their highly accessible set. Particularly, the six-piece have a soft spot for Lenny Kravitz. Always On The Run, Are You Gonna Go My Way and other gems from the workd of this rock-god are obviously represented. But moreover, what to think of tunes by Guns N’ Roses, Kings Of Leon en Maroon 5? The two lead singers Anouk Leijenaar and Romy Laarhoven, with their crystal clear, sweet voices, shine in the spotlights. Drummer Paul de Hoop and bass player Diederik Verzijl keep a tight rhythm and the guitar players Luuk Gerrits and Jeroen van Geel make sure the sound is chesty and groovy. Tonight, you’ll probably lose your voice at some point, singing along with your favorite songs. But it’ll be a small price to pay!

London five-piece Curse Of Lono recently released their debut album ‘Severed’, a
sumptuously cinematic record that combines harmony-laden Americana with driving,
gothic alt-rock. The album follows Curse Of Lono’s critically acclaimed debut EP,
released October 2016, which also formed the soundtrack to ‘Saturday Night’, a short
film of inter-connected music videos directed by Alex Walker. The film recently won
Best Music Video at the LA Independent Film Awards, the London Independent Film
Awards and Feel The Reel International Film Festival in Glasgow and has made the
official selection at the International Music Video Underground in LA and the
Sunlight International Film Festival in Moscow.

roots pioneers Hey Negrita, Curse Of Lono formed in early 2015, though the songs
on ‘Severed’ were written over a 14-year period. They range from the perky, Paul
Simon-ish new single ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ to the more lugubrious ‘He Takes My
Place’, the almost jazzy ‘London Rain’ and the rootsy, rhythmic ‘Send For The
Whisky’. The album belongs as much to the Americana tradition and old faithfuls
such as Little Feat as it does to more modern, playful practitioners of the form such as
Wilco and Beck.
Lyrically, the songs cover themes including infidelity and sexual jealousy, the death
of friends, and Felix’s personal struggle with heroin addiction. “Although ‘Severed’ is
a dark record in places, it is not an addiction record,” says Felix. “It’s about growing
up enough to be able to share a drink with the ghosts of the past without letting them
push you around.”
Curse of Lono will be support act during the upcoming EU tour of Chuck Prophet.

Curtis came to Rotterdam to explore the city’s vibrant music scene and is yet to be disappointed. Come along and join him on his journey - you won’t be disappointed either!
