Punk between glitter stickers and the moshpit
De Zweefclub describes itself as making sweet songs for nasty people. And vice versa. With their self-proclaimed “Tinkerpunk,” this seven-piece band navigates between deliciously loud and surprisingly tender. De Zweefclub combines dreamy vocals with quirky Dutch-language lyrics about kite flying, polka dancing, and mud wrestling. Their words capture the subtle depth of everyday life and keep fluttering through your mind with a mischievous grin.
Humor and sharp edges are the key ingredients of the unmistakable Nederwave created by this seemingly commune-born collective. In search of their own identity, the band takes on modern-day cowboys and other scoundrels. Hop aboard their emission-free rocket for a journey around the sun. Look down and watch pathetic tech billionaires make way for picnic blankets and campfires. Pew, pew, pew! The establishment might as well wrap itself up with a bow and disappear. De Zweefclub proves just how cute punk can be.
