The People’s Pleasure Ground ( Rotterdam )
The People’s Pleasure Ground is like a vision upon endless beaches with deep blue waves rolling upon a lost paradise. Such a place where the wine flows freely and the sun is always blazing. With Jimmy de Kok functioning as the captain, this band will be able to turn venues and meadows into magical Californian scenes. During live-shows De Kok is accompanied by Malenzie Mac-Donald Jr., Gijs van der Heijden and Eno Aronds. Together they will daze the listener with a strong dose of reverb-loaded guitars and dreamy lyrics inspired by bands such as Allah-Las and Babe Rainbow. With their recently released EP and a number of well-received live-shows, the band’s future looks promising. The People’s Pleasure Ground is the absolute must-see for everyone embracing the sixties surfscene.

MENK (Berlin)
Menk is a psych band based in Berlin.
Originally formed in 2017 in Saint Petersburg, Menk solidified its current form as a duo, with Jura Titov and Anton Viktorov creating a unique sound that blends elements of neo-psychedelia, noise rock, and experimental soundscapes.
With atmospheric guitars, reverb, delay effects, deep basslines, and dynamic rhythms, Menk crafts music that invites listeners into a vivid world of textures and emotions.
Inspired by classic acts like Pink Floyd and The Velvet Underground, as well as modern bands such as Dead Meadow and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Menk’s sound captures the essence of both timeless psychedelia and contemporary innovation. Their tracks move through intricate, dreamy guitar passages and abstract, introspective lyrics, often exploring themes of consciousness and perception.
