QUEERS, THE (US)
RANDY BARRACUDA (FIN)
Keeping punk alive since 1982, The Queers are a long lasting American punk band. Despite many member changes except for singer/ guitarist Joe Queer, The Queers has always been about catchy, sing-a-long friendly pop punk. Of course with lyrical themes that include girls, alcohol and parties. Expect to hear covers from some of their main influences like The Beach Boys, Ramones or The Undertones as well.

Skweeeeeeeee. Finnish skweee brought to the swampy Netherlands by Randy Barracuda himself. He has been running the Harmönia label with a couple of associates for years now, bringing us diverse skweee artists from around the globe. He will now do the musical talking himself during this Global Mash-up duel. ► Global Mashups Fri 16 Sept, 00:45 - 01:45, 013 Stage01

RATS ON RAFTS (NL) Post-punk
The roots of Rats on Rafts lay in the old Rotterdam pop and wave scene. After endless rehearsals, the band was invited to support Jay Reatard during two of his Dutch tours. In 2008, the band self-released their first EP. Now, they signed with our good friends of Subroutine Records who will release their first full-length somewhere around the Incubate festival. ► Subroutine Cares Sun 18 Sept, 19:45 - 20:30, Kafee 't Buitenbeentje
▲ RAINBOW ARABIA (US) Electronic, Psychedelic, Experimental
106
Don’t be fooled by their recent signing to the minimal/techno label Kompakt, Rainbow Arabia are a completely different cup of tea! This husband and wife duo makes lo-fi electronic synth pop on very tribal rhythms that give them a Middle Eastern and extremely groovy feel. Add some psychedelic sounds to this and you get the picture. Catchy, uplifting and drifting as the rest of the label’s roster! Tue 13 Sept, 20:00 - 21:00, Paradox
