La gira Volcom Garden Experience regresó a Europa con un verdadero éxito en Frida's Pier en Stuttgart, Alemania.

Música en vivo, exhibición de arte, mercado creativo, Skateboarding y buenas vibraciones ocurrieron a la orilla del río en un perfecto día de verano.

 

El equipo de cinco componetes, Marcoca abrió el escenario del muelle con sus relajados riffs de jazz y surf, que trajeron el ambiente perfecto al barco a primera hora de la tarde.

Mientras tanto, los visitantes también pudieron echar un vistazo a algunas obras de los artistas destacados de Volcom Chrissie Abbott, French et Bob Mollema, o gastaron algo de dinero en el mercado creativo con un montón de artistas locales exhibiendo y vendiendo sus obras.

Cuando el sol comenzó a ponerse sobre el río, Dead Elvis & his one man grave entraron al escenario para calentar la pista de baile y asegurarse de que el consumo promedio de bebidas no disminuyera.

 

Eventualmente condujo a una sesión de skate en la rampa Volcom de usos múltiples frente al escenario, que estaba tan animada que incluso las volteretas hacia atrás desde el bote no fueron suficientes para refrescarse después...

Luego, Mooon de Holanda mantuvo el ánimo en alto con algunos de sus icónicos himnos de surf y alcohol justo antes de que SUCK de Kassel, Alemania, hiciera que la multitud soltara los últimos fragmentos de su mente con riffs mortales y su agudo punk mientras se ponía el sol.

Luego, la fiesta pasó al segundo escenario bajo la cubierta del infame barco Wilhelm Knipscheer con Iguana Death Cult y terminó la parte de música en vivo con un espectáculo loco que mareó hasta a el último alma, obviamente debido al moshpit.

Maxcarpone sacudió la pista de baile después con su selección única seguida por Theo Spazzatura y Vihgdohr Bocelli.

Si te has perdido el Volcom Garden Experience en Stuttgart, no dudes en reservar tu viaje para el próximo evento en Breda, NL, el 10 de septiembre en el Pier 15 Skatepark.

About The Bands

IGUANA DEATH CULT 

Rotterdam-based fivesome Iguana Death Cult initially made their mark with giddy, hard-hitting garage punk and a miasma of acid-drenched psychedelics, only to blossom into an all-embracing unit that implements frameworks of post-punk, krautrock, new wave, soul and disco!

SUCK

There must be something in the water in Kassel these days - the latest hairball this shabby little town spat out is a bunch of wasted no-goods called SUCK. Their straight forward magic potion containing pacy '77 Punk, early Sabbath-heaviness and the slime of sacred frogs from the Amazon jungle will make you go absolutly loco! 

 

MOOON

Way back, in the early 2013's, a new and loud sound was born in a little 
backyard barn in a far away town called Aarle-Rixtel. 
They were producing what they would call 'Good Music'. 
The brothers Tom and Gijs de Jong, and their cousin Timo van Lierop were feeling so groovy with their instruments, that they decided to form a new musical collective, called MOOON.

MARCOCA

LSD is overrated. To embark on a colourful journey just play ‘Magic Drips’. This song reveals all the wizardry of the German band Marcoca who takes you on a magic ride thanks to their smooth bassline and an enveloping synthesizer. Between psychedelic rock and funk, the ending of the song will melt your ego and turn your inner being into pure bliss. 

 

 

DEAD ELVIS & HIS ONE MAN GRAVE 

Elvis... Dead? Yep, just believe me, he is!... Long gone dead and done but not just quite done!! The Memphis stiff is rockin’ like never before, back from the grave, alone and rawer and more primitive then ever! Takin‘care of business as a ONE MAN BAND! Dead Elvis without the Memphis Mob, Pills or Viva Las Vegas. Just one monster playing drums guitar and howlin’ like he’s got nothing to lose! This is primitive Rock & Roll as it is meant to be! Sounds that will wake you up from your hit parade nightmare!

BOB MOLLEMA 

Bob Mollema, Bennekom 1990, works as an illustrator, artist and musician. He mainly works on large projects where humanity, absurdity, desire and dishonesty are central. These elements form a cocktail that results in critical, sometimes humorous, illustrations that make people think. A recurring theme is archaic Europe and the way people spiritually dealt with nature, incorporating the often naive and pure style of the archaic peoples into his art. He mainly works with graphite and eraser because the roughness, coincidence, margin of error & the analogue aspect are in keeping with his search for purity and authenticity. It is an act of rebellion against the uniformity that is slowly but surely devouring the world.
