April 22, 23: ass-crack stage-hack #12 and The Diamond Exchange

The weekend of April 22/23 is going to be another interesting one for sure. I organize two events this weekend! On Friday April 22 John Dear Mowing Club and Sir Ian play at ass-crack stage-hack #12 in Havenkwartier Deventer. Two intimate singer/songwriter concerts I don’t recommend missing.

Here’s a slight preview of Sir Ian to win you over:

And then, the night after the 22nd of April it’s the 23rd of April. Time for the very first edition of The Diamond Exchange, featuring Bart Folmer (Radion) and Harco Rutgers (Cette Truc), who also happen to be  the founding fathers of esc.rec. way back in 2004. The Diamond Exchange will take place in Het Burgerweeshuis in Deventer. You have to pay 6 euro to get in, but then you also get to enjoy the 5 year anniversary of Deventer Dub Sessions with San Soda and Tom Trago.

Both nights are typical no-brainers in my mind. You can’t not be there!

March 18: ass-crack stage-hack #11

After almost a full year of radio silence esc.rec. continues the line of adventurous and often intimate concerts by popular demand. That makes this the 11th edition of the ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer.

The brothers Kleefstra performed here before in an earlier edition of ass-crack stage-hack, then together with Machinefabriek and Soccer Committee. That was such an impressive performance that esc.rec. cordially invited them back again. This time, the Frisian poetry of Jan Kleefstra and soundscapes of guitarist Romke Kleefstra are combined with the enchanting sound of renowned bass clarinetist Gareth Davis (UK).

The second concert of the evening is provided by Bela Emerson (UK). She plays (electric) cello with a fascinating virtuosity. Her solo performances are very intense and exciting. Using electronics and effects, this lady from Brighton builds layers of rhythm and sound, making use of every part of her instrument.

Date: 18 March 2011
Open: 21:00 uur
Entrance: 5 euro
Location: Havenkwartier
