Juan Juan + Dan and the Middle Men

The love child of The Velvet Underground and Mac DeMarco in a Mexican hammock. Juan Juan brings indie country with Latin American influences. The multi-genre debut album ‘New Mexico’ was released and recorded on a four track cassette last year. The album was in the hands of co-producer Casper van der Lans, known for his work with Personal Trainer, Pip Blom and our Frisian friends, The Homesick. Juan Juan has been selected for the Popronde 2021 and will tour around the Netherlands this autumn. But before that, you can catch him performing his laidback songs at UP!

The pandemic has not only brought bad things, it brought us a four-piece band which songwriter Dan created. With all the free time he had, Dan went looking for other musicians to complete his project. As a result, Dan and the Middle Men is no longer a solo project. Their energetic, catchy garage rock EP ‘Pattern Recognition Machine’ is finally ready to be played in front of a live audience. Right where it belongs.

‘Because it ain’t that much fun to listen to total silence in between bands, theRalfenatorX will bring his favorite records to spice things up a bit in between the performances. Don’t only expect the best music you ever heard, but also stuff that sounds ‘kinda okay’. And everything in between of course. Feeding him snacks is allowed in good consultation between parties.
