Dutch Ding-a-Dong: Canshaker Pi / Figgie Canshaker Pi Starting off as a high school band right across from the legendary venue Paradiso in Amsterdam, Canshaker Pi claimed the throne to Holland’s most acclaimed live-band. In 2016 they released their untitled debut album, produced by Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus. Making their mark with their debut, the band played every major festival in The Netherlands (Le Guess Who, Eurosonic, Best Kept Secret and Lowlands) and toured Europe alongside Spiral Stairs (of Pavements Scott Kannberg). A Canshaker Pi show can be described as one big kamikaze run. The Amsterdam-based quartet's inflammable brand of indie rock is a gleeful but high-stakes affair.  Beneath their fidgety, high-strung stage antics simmers a piercing intensity, one that perhaps comes with a creeping awareness that the days of being young, wild and free will eventually pass. Canshaker Pi frantically capitalize on their youthful zest with a relentless now-or-never stride.  Figgie Dutch band from Utrecht that prefers to make alternative music with lyrics about Vincent, Nathalie, Matthijs, Zwem, performing wizardry, expectations and getting late. Figgie gets their inspiration from Porches, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Gucci. 20:30 Door 20:45 Figgie 22:00 Canshaker Pi
