Baby Berserk, Housepainters + Lena Hessels • INDIESLEAZE LIVE x Indiestad

The Amsterdam trio Baby Berserk is a whirlwind of style, sound, and self-expression. Founded by Eva Wijnbergen, Lieselot Elzinga, and Mano Hollestelle, the band effortlessly balances the exciting energy of indie with the hypnotic beats of the club scene. Think pearls and punk, glitter and danger. Their latest album, ‘Slightly Hysterical Girls With Pearls,’ takes you on a wild ride through pop culture, rebellion, and raw emotions.

The Amsterdam trio Housepainters consists of Anna Fleuri, Tom Ogilvie, and Marnix Wilmink, blending disco with wave and dub. Think tight basslines, pulsing synths, and a deep, resonating sound that takes you through the night. Their debut album, released in spring 2024 on Magnetron Music, builds on this sound and offers further exploration of their distinctive genre mix.

Lena Hessels is an Amsterdam-based singer and producer. Her music combines hyperpop, alternative electronics, and a DIY indiesleaze aesthetic. Expect glitchy beats, distorted vocals, and raw energy that recalls early electroclash and contemporary experimental pop. Her music is expressive and direct, with lyrics about independence and self-discovery.

In the Basement of Paradiso, the INDIESLEAZE CLUB NIGHT kicks off with a surprise show. Which band is it? That’s a secret, but trust us: this trio is one to watch. Expect a danceable live performance full of surprises and tons of energy, just as impressive as the way this band is currently taking over the Dutch indie scene.

Elmer makes her debut behind the decks at INDIESLEAZE, following in the pawprints of her DJ dog Skipper. Don’t expect a tame set, but rather an eclectic mix of electro-funk, pop and sleazy bangers, inspired by all things raw and edgy. She plays the kind of tracks she’d want to hear at a party that’s getting slightly out of hand, all with her own playful twist, just as you’d expect from Elmer.

Charlie Avalon is your ticket to a night full of alternative dance, indie, and sleazy pop. The DJ duo consists of Charlie Rombach and Avalon Peters, and with their healthy obsession with the underground scenes of the UK and Belgium, they’re more often on the road than at home, always hunting for the best records and the wildest nights. They’ve already shared decks with 2manydjs and The Dare, so expect an edgy mix of beats, bass, and attitude.

Handshake Collective is for anyone who prefers to shake hands on the dancefloor rather than at the office. The DJ duo, consisting of Ingrid Enache and Eros Risiglione, is known for their eclectic sets, exploring all corners of the underground. From punk and post-punk to electro, new wave, and all kinds of club classics. DIY to the core, deeply rooted in the alternative scene, with DJ sets like a rhythmic handshake that’s as solid as the bangers they blast through the speakers.
