Incredibly rare UK sighting of legendary Rotterdam Electro-Dada Art Punx!

"Rotterdam’s Coolhaven are a breezy, clever act that just keep on keeping on; making music for the sake of making music. That might sound patronising but I genuinely mean it as a compliment. Coolhaven are in love with pop and use it as a vehicle to get up to all sorts of mischief. They’ve made some great records (a favourite of mine is Strømblocque Phantasiën) produced cod-operas about Friedrich Nietzsche, dressed up in C18th attire and generally mucked about on the fringes of both the cultural sector and the international underground pop scene for years. Though they might not like me saying this a lot of their music is playful in a very Dutch manner, ever-so-slightly self-effacing and clever but always fun. Unsurprisingly, there is a distinct whiff of Rotterdam in their sound: an “up-for-it” air, sometimes abrasive but earthy and quick-witted. The band (Lukas Simonis, Hajo Doorn and Peter Fengler) know the underground music history of their city like few others and this latest record is one that celebrates two very distinctive and brilliant parts of it: the punk and gabber scenes." - Louder Than War
