We take up space uninvited: the locker room, the boardroom, the construction site. We make them ours.

Post-rehearsal glow and a meeting that lit the spark: we’re officially gearing up for our very first music video.

Also: we’re looking for a meeting room/office space (area Amsterdam) to shoot part of the video — something with character. If you know a place, hit us up!

We got some tough news yesterday — something we were really looking forward to won’t be happening. It’s hard not to feel heavy about it. But there’s also so much ahead: a video shoot soon, shows coming up, and our album this fall. It stings, bút, there’s a lot to be excited about 🖤🖤🖤

The stage may be quiet for now, but something’s brewing behind the scenes. A glimpse into the rehearsal room… and a first single creeping closer, with visuals to match. The album arrives this fall. Stay close.

'FOR REAL' onderzoekt de intellectuele ondermijning van vrouwen en de bredere impact daarvan op menselijke waardigheid en gelijkwaardigheid. Door middel van een theatrale radioshow en honderden interviews onthult het project hoe seksisme op het verstand zich manifesteert.

Waarom we vrouwen nog steeds niet serieus nemen – en wat dat met ons doet

Saturday at #Vondelbunker — raw, unpolished, and full of grit.
With the cinematic storms of Mowing Flowers and the deep tides of Have The Moskovik. Between #darkfolk, #punk, and #post-rock, the night moved through tension, #noise, and fragile moments.
🖤 to everyone who came #underground with us.

Melancholy in music, mischief in life. Who said sad songs can’t come with a side of fruit? 🤣🍊🎶
This Saturday, we bring the gloom to the #Vondelbunker, alongside our friends Mowing Flowers & Have the Moskovik. See you there? 🌑✨

Interessant en scherpend artikel, zeker ook als #psycholoog

Steeds meer vrouwen omarmen psychiatrische diagnoses, terwijl feministen van de tweede golf die juist als onderdrukkend zagen. Is de diagnosecultuur een overwinning voor vrouwen – of juist een valstrik?

Vrouwen trekken massaal naar de psychiater voor een diagnose. Geëmancipeerd of patriarchaal?
