Protagonizing in Amsterdam


Earlier this year (10th June 2011, to be exact) PDG performed at the Soundart festival in Amsterdam, organised at former squat OT301, and frankly it was a rather brilliant night. It was the first year the event had been run and was a showcase for sound artists of a varied selection of styles and cultures to come and perform in a single setting, some of which you can see displayed in the video above. Said visual unfortunately omits two PDG favourites from that night, the insane performance art anarchy of Massaccesi and the raucous jams of triple guitar band Ni (who DG got to help push on stage.) It does, however, feature US in a slither of a clip performing Nobodies Only (set to feature on our debut album, currently in the works), third bit in. We at Protagonist central would love the festival to continue into the future as a further demonstration of the fab work being done by loads of artists venturing into exciting new sonic areas outside the accepted conventions of the mainstream music industry (plus we wouldn't mind performing there again, ourselves!) For more info on the event and artists this is where to go. Stay tuned for more updates, Earthmen.
