Escape-Ism (US) is the razor-sharp garage/post-punk project of cult figure Ian Svenonius from the United States, known for among others The Make-Up, Chain & The Gang, Nation of Ulysses and his sharp pen as a writer and performer. Escape-Ism delivers tight riffs, repetitive grooves and lyrics that are raw, absurd and drenched in dry humor and annoyingly spot-on ideological social criticism. Live, Escape-Ism is relentless and immersive: no frills, no escape - just being dragged along.

There’s only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain, and the ones that observe. And well, baby, we’re put-on-a-show kind of clowns.

For the 11th edition Send in the Clowns brings the circus into De Studio – for real this time. Prepare yourself for a camp night out with your favorite drag clowns in a show where we celebrate circus, tame wild animals (or not) and transform De Studio into a Pink Elephant Club.

Istanbul’s Lalalar remind you of your favorite 80’s cult show theme, and simultaneously sound like a delightful dumpster dive of spaghetti western-psychedelics, Anatolian funk, sampling and fresh psychedelia from Istanbul! With their retro-cinematic bass lines, dirty electronic beats, rebroken vocals, flirting guitars and attentively dug samples from the legacies of Anatolia, Lalalar evoke a future nostalgia.

From Sun Ra’s cosmic tones and the motorik rhythms of Krautrock to the hypnotic, angular soul of vintage Ethiopia: this is not just a concert, it’s an odyssey. Don’t miss Mike Reed’s Separatist Party ft. Marvin Tate, Ben LaMar Gay and Bitchin Bajas at De Studio during this short European tour!
