Escape-Ism (US) & Frankie Traandruppel

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.

Frankie Traandruppel is the bedroom recording project and pseudonym of musician Lee Swinnen (Tubelight, Double Veterans, Ero Guro). He makes pure and unpolished songs that range from intimate 60’s folk and pop to straight-forward garage bangers and post-punk songs. Live, he is joined by bassist Bart Weyens (Statue) and drummer Noah Melis (Bed Rugs, Borokov Borokov). Just let it happen - the music does the rest.
