2025 came with the birth of our music project Max Forage. we got to to play numerous venues, festivals and release our debut EP ‘the country, the city’. as a band we grew closer to each other and truly fell in love with playing live together. yet, this is only the beginning.
next year we’ve got a lot of new music to share with you! as we’re also gonna take a deep dive in the studio to record some of our demos. very excited to play for you all in 2026 again!
now please enjoy your holidays with family and friends xx see you next hear 💚🖤

@maxforage____ brengt alternative met een voorliefde voor triphopgrooves en experiment. Denk aan de meeslepende diepgang van Massive Attack, het rauwe experiment van Young Fathers en Fever Ray, de gelaagde gevoeligheid van Dean Blunt, met echo’s van Yves Tumor en Fontaines D.C.
Speciaal voor de gelegenheid worden ze op het podium bijgestaan door live painting van de jonge Hasseltse kunstenaar @artbyscal (aka Servaas Coppens). Zijn werk verbindt de grenzen van kunst, mode en muziek door gebruik te maken van live paintings, pop-up performances en live printing.
