Coaster presents Spiderland
COASTER ORGANISES SHOW IN HONOUR OF SLINT
It’s too good to be true: we’re skipping Sinterklaas and celebrating Slinterklaas instead. An evening filled with songs by Slint. Expect Spiderland, along with some hidden gems from Slint, performed by Utrecht’s own Coaster with support from Uncle Arthur!
Coaster Coaster is a folky slowcore duo from Utrecht, formed by Bart Appel and Paul Dijkman. The duo, primarily guitarists, quickly bonded over their shared love for calm and slow-paced music. Inspired by the lo-fi and slowcore acts of the ‘90s and ‘00s, they capture memories and moods and transform them into intimate dreampop. Their melancholic music centers on resilience and cherishing life’s small moments. Live, they are joined by Stephan de Hoop on drums and Kyon Edelenbosch on bass.
Uncle Arthur Uncle Arthur is a collaboration between guitarists and songwriters Pim Cruiming (State Power, Two And A Half Girl) and Jelle Crooijmans (Cavolo Nero, Moon Moon Moon). Born from a shared love for quality guitar pop of the ‘90s and ‘00s, they spent a long time writing songs as a duo before heading to the studio in 2023 with Jan Schenk to record their debut EP, UA-001. It features five punchy powerpop songs about dealing with the fallout from toxic relationships and the struggle of opening up again to someone new.
