FRONTSECTOR + WUDU SJON

While many punkers in the 1970s and 1980s voiced their discontent with their parent’s generation with shocking symbols relating to World War 2, our contemporary punk scene prefers to reference the right side of history. FRONTSECTOR was the name of a secret magazine in which members of the Dutch resistance put their concerns with the German occupation to paper, using poetry and song as their weapons. That kind of resistance against injustice and plea for a better world are at the base of the combination of old skool hardcore- and garage punk that FRONTSECTOR, one of Groningen’s newest and most exiting punk bands, bring to Simplon tonight. The four give us punk as it was once meant to be played: against the status quo, against the system and without more chords than necessary.
Just as rebellious and political as FRONTSECTOR, we also welcome Wudu Sjon to the stage tonight:

WUDU SJON is a project from Groningen (Netherlands), born out of frustration in the face of the current excesses of late capitalism and the advancing environmental murder. It is a musical outlet for all the anger we carry with us in these times, and a challenge to make this anger danceable. Accompanied by various styles, such as Progressive Rock, Ethiopian Jazz, Metal and Ska, Wudu Sjon explores the in-between of musical genres with only drums and keyboard – not afraid of having no place to call home. WUDU SJON is like a bad B movie: a minimal budget, full of shock value, and best to watch around midnight.
