LEWSBERG from Rotterdam are a four-piece rock group, named after writer and fellow Rotterdammer Robert Loesberg, famous for his dangerous novel Enige Defecten from 1974. This is one of the band’s main sources of inspiration: the counterculture and big-city cynicism of the 1960s and 1970s. Yet there is also a softer side to Lewsberg’s music and lyrics. On their upcoming, fourth album, Out and About (to be released on Sept. 15th on 12XU), this side is more present than ever. Rudimentary pop and rock songs are deliberately kept bare, only occasionally embellished with a violin or organ part. In the lyrics, the tendency towards existentialism and black humour is nuanced with an almost naive openness and engagement. Lewsberg are: Shalita Dietrich (vocals, bass guitar), Michiel Klein (guitar), Marrit Meinema (vocals, drums) and Arie van Vliet (vocals, guitar, violin).

DAYSLEEPER are the purveyors of fine rock n’ roll of the dark and mysterious variety — like the aural version of Grant Wood’s American Gothic. Featuring some familiar faces of the LFK music multiverse.

PERFECT LOVERS (imagined here as a PERFECT SOLO SHOW) is one of KCMO’s most exciting musical exports, featuring the smart and tender songwriting of Cassandra Gillig (who you’ve also seen playing perfect bass guitar in Thee Silicone Prairie Live Band).

All LAAND events are all ages and we do not permit outside alcohol to be brought to the show. For our outdoor shows, the audience is mainly on a grassy field. Bathrooms are located inside the Schoolhouse and are accessible by a staircase in the front of the building.

All Ages, as always
