VANZELF. + Key Key and the Locks
Simplon UP:
Energetic indie pop/rock
VANZELF. is a four-piece indie rock band from Drenthe and Groningen, effortlessly crafting catchy English-language songs. Expect danceable melodies, tight musicianship, and a live show that धीरे pulls you in and refuses to let go. Think the sound of The 1975, Elephant, and BLØF, but straight from the northern Netherlands.
KeyKey and the Locks is an energetic pop/rock band from Drenthe, consisting of Kiki (vocals), Rowan (guitar), Herke (bass), and Aiden (drums). Since forming in April 2025, they have performed at Bevrijdingsfestival Assen, Popspot Drenthe, and Drentsch Peil. During Popspot Drenthe, they won the Audience Award Drenthe 2025.
Their music, a blend of catchy pop and powerful rock influences, captures both raw emotion and playful energy. Recently, the band appeared on radio station ZO!34 for a live interview, where their brand-new demo “Poison” premiered. They are currently working on new material, with their debut single “Color Me Blue” set for release soon.
