MUSIC HUBBLE US

minimalism, ambient, psychedelic A head-on shredfest presented to you by Ben Greenberg, the fret-master known for gigging around in an armada of bands. About his album cover he said: “If you frame anything right you can make it look like space.” Something he certainly succeeded in. Live, endless repetitions with subtle variations are combined with an energetic performance giving it something spectral. Space telescope ‘Hubble’ broadens mankind's view, but this Hubble serves as a microscope that expands your view on minimalism. Sunday 16th, V39 ▲ IDES OF GEMINI US stoner, doom, post-rock Imagine being followed by a choir of ghosts in ancient, desolated and haunted ruins of the city of Constantinople (hence their album title). Your soundtrack would be Ides of Gemini, the brand new project of vocalist/ bassist Sera Timms of Black Math Horseman signed to Neurosis´ Neurot label. The term “dream doom” has been floating around to describe their beautiful side, but on the other hand their music sounds more intense and more terrifying than any black metal band you can imagine. Highly addicting! Saturday 15th, Little Devil

HUMAN DON'T BE ANGRY (MALCOLM MIDDLETON) UK

indie, post-rock, krautrock Renowned for Arab Strap and various solo projects, Malcolm Middleton will come to Incubate with his newest brainchild ‘Human Don’t Be Angry’. One of the ground rules of this project was not to do any interviews, so it’s hard to figure out what the premise behind this project is. But what we do know is that Middleton wanted to focus on guitar. He also stated that this project ‘feels like wearing a disguise’. Let’s find out which disguise he’ll be wearing in Tilburg then. Friday 14th, Pauluskerk

ICEAGE DEN

INSANITY ALERT AT

punk, hardcore, noise rock Iceage was supposed to play Incubate 2010 but had to pull out the last minute. In any case, we are lucky to have them on the bill for this years edition! Their live performances perfectly translate their sound on record; a wave of bombastic, noisy and fast post-punk riffs with a vile hardcore/punk sound. File this one under catchy and intense; their 20 minute sets are all it takes for Iceage to knock your socks off. Saturday 15th, 013 Stage01

thrash metal Insanity Alert is a thrash band from Innsbruck, Austria. They started in 2011 and are influenced by the likes of S.O.D., DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Bones Brigade, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust and Slayer. Their mission: Thrash hard, smoke weed, drink beer, watch football and skate once in a while. Sunday 16th, Little Devil
