Alonette charms with tenderness, letting her confessional songs and odes to day-to-day existentialism flow with an ease reminiscent of a child’s fantasy play. She conjures heartfelt folk-pop with a nod to the ’70s, her voice carrying echoes of Karen Carpenter’s crystalline demeanour. Yet her music doesn’t shy away from experimentation, creating songs full of unexpected twists and bittersweet sentimentality—establishing herself as an Estonian counterpart to Jessica Pratt and Aldous Harding. Acoustic guitar, strings, and soft-footed electronic sounds embrace each other empathetically. In March 2025, Alonette released her debut album Compass, praised for its maturity, rich sonority, and ability to balance vulnerability with wit. At Riga Music Week, Alonette performs it with guitarist Erki Pärnoja.
✨𝟮𝟬:𝟮𝟬 - 𝟮𝟭:𝟬𝟬 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗰̌𝘂𝘀 (𝗟𝗩)
Elizabete Balčus is a Latvian musician and performance artist who creates neo-psychedelic dream pop from surprising, collaged genre juxtapositions that are simultaneously melodic and experimental. Her visual aesthetics draw upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion, and geometric imagery. Elizabete studied classical and jazz flute at Latvian Academy of Music as well as opera singing at 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 synths, leaving the listener in a blissed-out trance-like state, somewhere between waking and sleeping.
✨𝟮𝟭:𝟰𝟬 - 𝟮𝟮:𝟮𝟬 𝗣𝗹𝗶𝗲́ (𝗟𝗧)
Lithuanian Plié bring a relentless onslaught to the everyday chaos of the 21st century. The band’s hardcore framework is embellished with industrial, electronic, post-rock, and avant-garde influences, awakening animalistic energy in their hypnotic live performances. Having performed at major European showcases including ESNS, Europavox, and Tallinn Music Week, and opened for acts such as Xiu Xiu, Plié was nominated as Rock Band of the Year at the Lithuanian awards gala M.A.M.A.
Join us at the Latvian capital's Tallinn Quarter for some music, drinks and a good time!
