Pier15 x MEZZ: Dorpsstraat 3 & badtime at Pier15

MEZZ and Pier15 present: Double Bill
A night exploring the boundaries of Dutch-language post-punk and raw lo-fi synthpunk. An absolute must-see for fans of dark electronics, gritty post-punk, and innovative Dutch bands.

Dorpsstraat 3
The Dutch sensation Dorpsstraat 3 blends post-punk and synthwave with influences from a diverse range of musical styles and eras. 

The project was formed after an exploration through an abandoned building at Dorpsstraat 3, where a priest once lived. In the basement, they discovered analogue synthesizers, drum machines, and a large vinyl collection. 

Inspired by Grauzone, ZZ & de Masks, Kraftwerk, and Erkin Koray – and by the many empty wine bottles – they wrote their first track and named the band after the place where it all started. 

Their sound is a vibrant, sometimes confusing but always intriguing mix of post-punk and synthwave, full of stories you haven't heard yet.

badtime
The The Hague duo badtime, consisting of visual artists Kevin Schuit and Ioana Ciora, grew into a multidisciplinary universe. Their music is the soundtrack to their drawings: sinister and sombre, yet energetic and danceable. 

Expect electronic drum beats, pulsating basslines, hypnotic synths, and energetic punk guitars.
