Proud we are! Not only on Tilburg but also on my (our) little brother who forms the blackmetal band Nihill, together with Vincent K. They just released their second album called Grond on Hydra Head Records and it got very good reviews. Listen to a track of the album here.

Tilburgs Pride, part III: Nihill

Stereofound
Check out this blog called Stereofound created by fellow Tilburgian LouLou: “A collection of ‘non-music’ and ‘oddities’ on vinyl, found at thrift stores and flea markets. Think of stereo-test records, jingles, sound effects, instructions, spoken word, language courses and, well, basically everything recorded out of the ordinary.”

Tilburgs pride, part II: Hooghwater
In my hometown Tilburg, sometimes called ‘the Aldi of Dutch cities’, something good is going on. Some serious talents are coming above ground, like it often does in places where it’s been grey for a while. Musicians, festivals, tattoo artists, graphic designers, motion designers, ilustrators, you name it, are blooming up.
New Tilburg based band Hooghwater is riding this wave proud. The rocky sound easily makes your upperlip rise to your nose while you are knodding your head to the music. Great charisma mixed with a new sound: could be a super band in the making. Made you curious? Check out their myspace.

A lot of Ingos on the wall
In T-Town you will see a lot of Ingos glued to the walls these days. That’s because next friday Klub Tilt: Berlin Schwung will be held in 013. You should go there, because we all do too! Katarie as a DJ, Sea Captain Plonk E as the creator of the logo and poster, Mickey Tilburg as an artist of one of the records that will be spinnend and finally Archie as a financial sponsor! Succes guaranteed. So see you there.
Oh and, if you will grow a moustache and you can show it, you and / or your girl will get free champagne!
Read their, yes indeed very similar, blog here.

Tilburgs pride, part I: LouLou & Tummie
In my hometown Tilburg, sometimes called ‘the Aldi of Dutch cities’, something good is going on. Some serious talents are coming above ground, like it often does in places where it’s been grey for a while. Musicians, festivals, tattoo artists, graphic designers, motion designers, ilustrators, you name it, are blooming up.
The illustration couple LouLou & Tummie are a perfect example of this wave. Every piece they make is fantastic. Not only in Holland they rock the country, rumours go that they even cannot cross the Taiwan streets without shades these days.

So, you want to start organizing a festival?
Our friends at ZXZW threw their whole hebben en houwen on the street. Think Open Wiki 2.0 Social Festival twitter. In other words, they made their whole business model transparant through internet: “With this development the organization asks input of everyone who feels committed to the festival.” So, feel free to contribute!

Menno van Gorp
Is the world champion breakdancing and he’s from… Tilburg. That brings a small tear to our eyes. That’s because our own Seacaptain Plonk E used to dance break in the streets of Tilburg the time Beat Street came out in the early eighties. Although he never even could fix the windmill, Da Plonk is ever so proud to see young Menno conquer that title.
