Queen's Day and some mo'

HARD to the core gigs around Queen's Day, including some outdoor hip-hop in between. Celebrations this year started a bit earlier with OT 301's Power VS Power Label Night on Friday - April 27, followed by Thirsty Dogg outdoor party for the Queen's birthday on Monday - April 30 and Vrankrijk's
punk/crust night on Tuesday - May 1.

Void Strike - Power vs Power event at the OT 301 happened to be the night before Queen's Day weekend. Urban sounds, hip-hop, drum & bass and hardcore - all scheduled between 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Live act by Shen Connerie (Fr/Alg), Dj set by no28 (Fr) & Power vs Power (Pl) and visuals by Nuns with Guns - all performing in support of the street kids in Indonesia - benefit initiative by the OT301.


Thirsty Dogg's outdoor celebration started at 10 a.m. on Queen's Day, providing beer for the thirsty, beer for the hungry and beer for the poor. Check on the video underneath.

More of the raw with Vrankrijk's 1st of May event. Death Reign (crust punk / France) and Autonoma Paradise & The Dreadlock Terror (crust / France) both kicked the crowed at one of Amsterdam's legendary squats. The social center opened doors at 7 p.m. Entry was free and bands started playing around 10 p.m. Beer was cold and sound was rough so for that, we thank you.
