Announcing a first Baltic exploration tour for Catalan experimental duo @los_sara_fontan . After their invitation to the @vikendicafest showcase during @tallinnmusicweek , we added a few more dates. 08/04 VILNIUS / LT @kostmosas_subinair w/ @weirduglyfish 09/04 RIGA / LV @aleponijabar @skanumezs 10/04 VILJANDI / EE @baar.konservatoorium 11/04 TALLINN / EE @tallinnmusicweek @fhoone "Violin, pedals, synthesizers , drums, triggers, pads, cowbells, and metal sheets make up the sonic universe of Los Sara Fontan. Their creative method is rooted in the analog and digital processing of acoustic sound. The artistic practice of Sara Fontan and Edi Pou emerges from improvisation, the embrace of error as a creative opportunity, and the physicality of the body and its sonic extensions as a source of material." Their latest album 'Consuelo' came out in Feb. 2026. "Consuelo means consolation, solace, relief. The world is entering a little dark age where authoritarianism is spreading, large technology corporations and their pursuit of profit at all costs mediate every relationship, neocolonialism is rampant in Gaza and other territories, access to a decent life is becoming more difficult while the richest have never been so rich, and addressing the climate crisis is postponed due to short-term interests. Immersed in this landscape, we seek solace in small communities that challenge the techno-feudalist logic and propose new hopeful solutions. We seek relief in music, and in the human fabric that articulates it, resisting capital's efforts to turn it into a product to be consumed at macro-festivals and in social media reels. Consuelo is our humble contribution to accompanying those who need it in these times. It is also a celebration of a shared way of doing things, and an invitation to keep going and not give up." --- Poster: Ammersooiseplein, Rotterdam. "Representing the last major urban renewal operation in the Agniesebuurt, it replaces the locally prevailing perimeter block with two parallel volumes set at right angles to the railway viaduct stabbing through the area." Built 1984-1988, designed by DKV architects. Photo @yugofuturism.eu , poster made in MS paint.

Rändav platvorm @yugofuturism.eu tuleb taas TMW-le oma @vikendicafest sarjaga. Telliskivi F-Hoones astub lavale rivi isepäiseid teisitimõtlejaid ja põhjusega mässajaid üle Euroopa. Vikendica on TMW-l esitlenud juba mitteametlikku Kosovo muusikasaatkonda, liitnud Balkani ja Balti ägedamaid pungi ja kunstpopi tegijaid ning viinud meie tulevikunimesid üle Euroopa tuuritama. Kuhu edasi? Muidugi uude tulevikku. 𝗟𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗹: ○80ndate hardcore pungi imede lõksu langenud @skoonebastion (EE) ○ popmuusika klišeesid nautiv elektroonika võlur @mihkel_kuusk (EE) ○ kaootiline muusikaline mahlapress @vgtbl.pl (PL) ○ rasket süntesaatorimuusikat piitsutav @worm.man.project (RS) ○ ekspreimentaalia meistrid @los_sara_fontan (ES) ╍ In 2026, Nomadic platform @yugofuturism.eu storms back to TMW for the third time with the @vikendicafest showcase, unleashing a “convoi exceptionnel” of European acts at Telliskivi’s F-Hoone.

Only other futures!

Op 9 oktober was @vikendicafest in Leiden. Deze showcase van (Zuid-)Oost-Europa bracht veel moois: bij @liu_alienbaby krioelden er sterren of vuurvliegjes door de verder duistere @resistor_leiden . @avemariasituatsioon was als kwikzilver en bij @trzyrazyatol kon je je opeens voorstellen dat hun nieuwste album 'Het einde van de Thousand Islands-saus' heet. Hoe dat zit, vind je via de link in bio van @3voor12leiden . 📋&📷: Rogier van Nierop

Introducing acts for the upcoming @vikendicafest . Final act to highlight: Latvian musician & performance artist @elizabetebalcus for Fri 10/10 @veragroningen and joining @k.not.k on Sat. 11/10 @worm_rotterdam . 09/10 LEIDEN @resistor_leiden ➡️10/10 GRONINGEN @veragroningen ➡️11/10 ROTTERDAM @worm_rotterdam 12/10 AMSTERDAM @occii_amsterdam ⚠️ tickets: #linkinbio ELIZABETE BALČUS is a Latvian musician and performance artist who creates neo-psychedelic dream pop from surprising, collaged, genre juxtapositions that is simultaneously melodic and experimental. She works with a strong visual aesthetic that draws upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion and geometric imagery. Elizabete attended Latvian Academy of Music in order to study classical and jazz flute, plus opera vocal in Rome’s Santa Cecilia Academy. Anything is permitted in her musical cosmos: looping flute and voice, clicking electro pop beats and playing vegetables as a synthesizer, leaving the listener in a blissed out trance like state, somewhere between the waking and sleeping. Live performances engage the audience with a psychedelic and theatrical situation that is as befuddling as it is mesmerising. Listen: / __ Vikendica is a travelling festival-weekender for adventurous new music, connecting independent venues in The Netherlands: @resistor_leiden , @veragroningen , @worm_rotterdam & @occii_amsterdam join hands in showcasing a convoi exceptionnel of acts from Europe’s most vibrant underground scenes. Named after a colloquial Western Balkans term for a weekend home, Vikendica simultaneously highlights the identity & ambience of independent clubs. In prior editions, VIKENDICA first introduced to Dutch venues acts including Portuguese collective Sereias, Bratislava noiserockers 52 Hertz Whale, adventurous Spanish duo Los Sara Fontan, Serbian tape wizard Lenhart Tapes, Slovak trap/punks Berlin Manson, Lithuanian indie pop duo Superkoloritas and brought back post punks ГШ / Glintshake & Estonian twilight samurai Mart Avi.

Het reizende festival @vikendicafest strijkt op zaterdag 11 oktober neer in Rotterdam. Niet om tot rust te komen - in tegendeel. Deze karavaan van tegendraadse Europese acts komt om @worm_rotterdam op zijn kop te zetten. Ze zijn naar Nederland gehaald door Rotterdam-based (label)manager en festivalorganisator Koen ter Heegde (@yugofuturism.eu ). ‘Bands uit het oosten van Europa moeten echt een extra heuvel beklimmen om op Nederlandse podia te spelen. Daarom durf ik wel te zeggen dat deze acts voor het publiek totaal nieuw zijn.’ Het gehele interview lees je via de link in bio. ✏️ @jaike.maze
