SPACE ROCK BAND DESCENDS UPON UTRECHT FOR EXTRAORDINARY BLEND OF PSYCHEDELIA AND ELECTRONICS.
Attention Earthlings! You are chosen to attend an audience with HENGE. The extraterrestrial collective has been bringing color to the grey skies of Manchester for about a decade but gladly boards their UFO to sprinkle astronomical doses of joy on other settlements. Don’t worry, these aliens don’t wield weapons; instead, they combat earthly woes with lively spacerock, synthpop, and psychedelica. Band members Zpor, Goo, Grok, and Nom are now familiar faces on festival grounds both within and beyond this galaxy. However, they undoubtedly fit perfectly into the colorful universe of De Nijverheid. In the words of HENGE: get a wriggle on!
