Incubate Festival 2012

quote:

Same place, same time, it’s Incu Thursday again. That moment where we can finally share all confirmations that our promotors gathered for Incubate 2012, and gathering is what they did. The versatility of artists in this Incu Thursday emphasises our proposition. You know: ‘Black metal next to free jazz’, that part. These are the names we can confirm today:

We’re thrilled to announce that martial industrial-band Laibach will perform on the Incubate Sunday. Roadburn ’12 highlight Conan will bring their doom/sludge back to Tilburg, and Busdriver is the first hiphop confirmation. Mark Sultan is replacing Royal Headache, who cancelled their European tour and last but not least we booked the dutch synth sensation Earth Control.

Also added is the hand-drawed film Midori-Ko and the shortfilm Body Memory.

Ja ik heb Wolvon paar keer gezien, te gekke band (en ik ken ze natuurlijk, hoe hip ben ik).
Maar er zit inderdaad niemand van Earth Control in Wolvon Want Earth Control ken ik ook (kijk me gaan dan, hipsterpoint-madness).

Its Thursday again, the Incubate office worked at full speed for all the confirmations for todays Incu Thursday. The line-up for Incubate 2012 already has 70 artists confirmed. Today we can add another four to the bill for the festival in September:

French musician Yann Tiersen will take one of the prominent spots on this years bill. Hes done soundtracks for Amélie and Good Bye, Lenin!, but his main focus is touring and making studio albums. On his latest album he collaborated with Efterklang, Peter Broderick but also Matt Elliott, who just so happens to be the second confirmation for today.
Last year Yann Tiersens music could already be heard at Incubate. Nu.nl wrote the following: How much the soundtrack of Amélie is imprinted in the collective memory was made very clear during the Play Me Im Yours-project during Incubate festival. The catchy movie tune was by far the most played tune on the through the city scattered pianos

The hugely influential and one of the forerunners of techno and electronica genres Chris & Cosey are also added to the line-up of Incubate 2012. Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti formed this collaboration out of the ashes of Throbbing Gristle. The fourth confirmation for today is King Midas Sound, the London-based project which flies under the wings of Hyperdub.

Usually we announce new confirmations on Thursday, but because it’s World Goth Day we’re sharing some new confirmations for Incubate ’12 today. We reached a total of 95 confirmed artist with these four new additions:

We are very proud to present the exclusive performance by the legendary English goth rock band Fields of the Nephilim. By incorporating elements from heavy metal and Carl McCoy’s trademark growled vocals they have been setting the standard in the gothic scene since 1984. They haven’t performed in the Netherlands since 1988! For World Goth Day (today!), the band has been awarded with ‘Best 90′s goth band’ and ‘Best 2000′s goth band’ of 2012. For an interview with Carl McCoy, head over to thequietus.com.
Friday, 14 September - Gothic rock, eighties, rock noir

Yes, we managed to get the rarely performing Darkwood to play Incubate 2012! Darkwood is the neofolk unity of many different elements. From traditional themes and acoustic instruments with experimental soundscapes and samples and mixing English and German lyrics. They only performed live 16 times and their last performance was in 2007, which makes this occasion extra special.
Friday, 14 September - Neofolk, dark folk, apocalyptic folk

Renowned extreme noise act Consumer Electronics will definitely make some ears bleed during Incubate. Vast walls of noise are coming your way with power electronics interspersed with industrial sound. Walls that will vaporize every eardrum that comes unprepared.
Saturday, 15 September - Noise, industrial, power electronics

The collective Drum Eyes led by Shigeru Ishihara aka DJ Scotch Egg, notorious from his Game Boy act. With this collective he and his fellow musicians explore different facets of electronic music. As you can see from the numerous of different genre-tags used, this band is mixing more elements than your average blender.
Date TBA – Drone, kraut, electronic, post-rock, dub, psychedelic

It’s Thursday again, the day that we announce all things happening during the run-up of this year’s Incubate. As an independent festival we love to involve others. New persons participating alongside our point of view yields new ideas, critical notes and a lot of energy. On the other hand it prevents tunnel vision and slumber. This Incu Thursday emphasizes on that what is important to us; collaboration and participation!

Louder than War and Incendiary Magazine curate V39
The two webzines join forces for the curatorship of V39. The two of them also got something to celebrate as well. Louder than War celebrates its label launch and Incendiarymag celebrates their 10th anniversary. John Robb (photo), editor in chief of Louder than War, was a guest at Incubate 2011. He then performed with his band Goldblade and interviewed Steve Ignorant at the DIY Conference.

As collaborations yields new ideas they’ve come up with their own theme for their curatorship: “Cultural Cringe”. Cultural Cringe will host a number of bands that don’t fit – bands who are old, ugly, uncool and un-rock, ignored acts, nobodies, bands singing in strange languages, and bands who are strangers in their own lands. These bands are:

Gnod Friday, 14 September - A Manchester based collective dealing with cosmic jams and urban stoner grooves
Ravage! Ravage! Friday, 14 September - A glossy Gothicke pop band of the highest tradition
The Membranes Friday, 14 September - Post-punk band playing for the first time in 20 years in The Netherlands
Nouveau Vélo Saturday, 15 September - Provincial lads making a tremendous racket that brings the Undertones to mind
Plant Duw Saturday 15, September - Playing burning and psychotic Welsh language rock
Paranoid Visions Saturday, 15 September - 30 years of fierce DIY punk rock, recently found sudden success with 2 top 10 hits in Ireland
Fawn Spots Sunday, 16 September - Two piece that managed to translate the rush, imagination and energy of underground rock into pop
Gul Night Out Sunday, 16 September - Truly out there experimental non-pop pop music, possibly one of the most enigmatic noise acts around
Boutros Bubba Sunday, 16 September - Wild, weird and absurd, cocking a snook at Beefheart and Slayer

Ze stonden een paar dagen terug nog op Le Guess Who? May Day in Utrecht, maar Sleepy Sun komt ook naar Incubate. De bevestiging was te zien op een posten op het Pinkpop-terrein.

De Amerikaanse band bezweert met een spannende mix van stoner, folk en psychedelica en stond eerder op o.a. Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Crossing Border, Dour en Bevrijdingspop Haarlem.

Sleepy Sun - White Dove

Had dat eerder gezegd, was vanmiddag in Tilburg

The whole week we’ve been looking forward to this moment to announce four really stunning new names for this year’s Incubate. First of all we like to start that living legend Kenny Dixon Jr, better known as Moodymann, is coming to Incubate 2012. This extraordinary appearance is together with Theo Parrish the creator of the Detroit techno/house-scene and comes to Tilburg to let us hear why he is, after making music for 20 years, still relevant.

At the same night as Moodymann, Saturday the 15th of September, another big name will come to visit our festival this year; Nathan Fake. This English electronical musician just announced after releasing his debut record & the in 2009 released record Hard Islands finally a new record. Steam Days, is gonna be released again on the record label of James Holden at the end of August; exactly, just a few weeks before our festival.

The last dance name of today is Ital. Daniel Martin-McCormick, who’s also part of earlier announced acts as Mi Ami and Sex Worker, is a typical cross-patch in the experimental house scene. His tracks are getting released by Planet Mu and Silk 100%, but the according to XLR8R one of the best new artists of 2011 is mostly known for his extraordinary live performances.

Incubate is a festival for everyone, so we’re also adding a non-eletronical name to this year’s line-up: Howlin’ Rain. This psydelic rockband from San Fran sounds like a modern-day answer to classic 70s rock acts and according to our collegue gave this band on of the best perfomances during this year’s SXSW.
