Grote Geelstaart + Crybabies

Indie in Town is back at The George Tavern on 26 November to introduce some very exciting Dutch bands to you all. We've got the amazing Grote Geelstaart and Crybabies joining us for this one. They have both never played in the UK before, so you’ll be the very first to watch them on British soil. Bring your friends, we'll bring the mini stroopwafels. See you on 26 November!

Grote Geelstaart walks the tightrope like an acrobat who could lose their balance at a moment’s notice. Noise orchestrated in such a way that it bubbles to a boiling point. They haul a sizeable mountain of gear to every show, including two drum kits and a collection of pedals that would make even a harsh-noise enthusiast blink twice. With oblique soundscapes over even more oblique time signatures, they create a live show that is as claustrophobic and cramped as a fish out of water. Grote Geelstaart manages to enchant their audience with their daunting-Dadaist-dance beats. Their pristine white shirts and colourful ties prove to be nothing but a farce.

Crybabies: Have you ever considered how a thunderstorm would sound during clear sunny skies? Crybabies from Tilburg, the Netherlands knows how to conjure up that feeling into heavy beats, fuzzy, dreamy guitars and melancholic lyrics. As the name suggests, the members love to shed a little tear now and then (often), and they find that being “too” sensitive is a great thing to be in a cold and bitter world.
