Kowai + Eve's Fall + Mindshade

Kowai is een gothic rock/metal band uit Utrecht. De band onderscheidt zich van anderen door het samenvoegen van muziekgenres zoals metal, rock, symphonic, en doom, en door de beklemmende melancholische sfeer die de nummers creëren. Frontvrouwe van de band is Laura, en Kowai wordt gecompleteerd door zanger/grunter/gitarist Bertran, gitarist Arjen, toetsenist Ruben, bassist Rik, en drummer Joost. Kowai heeft geopend voor bands als Stream of Passion, Trail of Tears, Nemesea en Autumn, heeft de finale behaald van het Radio 538 Demo Duel, is gedraaid op oa. KinkFM, heeft in Paradiso, P60 en Bibelot gespeeld, en heeft zelfs internationale optredens gedaan. Op dit moment is Kowai hard aan het schrijven voor de eerste full-length release (gepland voor begin 2013), die geproduceerd wordt door Joost van den Broek (ex-After Forever).

Eve's Fall is a pop-influenced metal band founded in 2011 by members from different corners of the musical spectrum. The result is a sparkling mix of catchy, heavy music which is accessible for everyone. The band is led by the crystal clear vocals of Liesbeth Cordia, who is known for her success in reaching the finals of the SoundMixShow. Since then she has come a long way and is now ready to take the next step. Alongside of her are (ex)members of Bullerslug, Malkovich, The Bullfight and Annatar, who have shared the stage with names like Epica, Suffocation, After Forever and Trail of Tears. In addition, the bandmembers played on festivals such as Zwarte Cross and Vlietpop. Working closely with a very talented team of producer Djuri Boot and sound engineer Dave Schinkel, known from Live Surround Sound, Eve's Fall are currently taking the last steps needed to complete the first full-length album, due to be released in the beginning of 2013. After the first few succesful try-out gigs, to promote the upcoming release, the band is now ready for the big stages!

MindShade is a band that plays 'female fronted metal'. Although with a vocal combination of mezzo soprano and grunts quickly placed into the 'gothic genre', MindShade plays its own variated style of rock, metal with a little bit of gothic. With a heavy sound and melancholic lyrics MindShade truly creates a shadow in your thoughts...
