Shiny Darkly:
Siden de udgav deres debut-EP i 2012, har det københavnske band Shiny Darkly genopfundet sig selv igen og igen. Fra mørk postpunk og drone til de elegante og eklektiske genreeksperimenter på albummet Bronze fra 2018 til den tunge, alternative rock, bandet dyrker i dag.
Shiny Darkly består af Mads Lassen på trommer og Kristoffer Bech på vokal og guitar. På det seneste har de eksperimenteret med deres live-setup, som kan spænde fra fuldt band til at optræde som duo. Denne aften på ALICE indtager bandets to musikere selv scenen i et intimt og intenst setup. Gå ikke glip af chancen for at genopdage de evigt foranderlige Shiny Darkly!
Water Damage:
Water Damage arbejder efter princippet “Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation”. Masser af gentagelser og så få udsving som muligt, indrammer nok lyden af det amerikanske psych-drone-kollektiv meget godt. Deres soniske landskaber fører tankerne langt væk, eller som Pitcfork før har skrevet om bandets lyd: “Forget music that makes you feel no pain. What about music that makes you feel like nothing at all, that pushes and pulverizes you until every woe, hope, and worry disappears like dust?”. Det kan lyde hårdt, men midt i det larmende og minimalistiske i Water Damages lyd, er der også noget ret uimodståeligt. En langsom, ekstatisk overgivelse.
Igennem årene har der været alt fra en håndfuld til tolv bandmedlemmer i Water Damage – hvoraf flere af dem er trommeslagere. Medlemmerne er kendt fra musikprojekter såsom Spray Paint, Black Eyes, USA/Mexico, more eaze, Thor & Friends, Marriage, Swans, SUR og Astral Spirits Records. Deres musik er blevet sammenlignet med lydkunstner Tony Conrad’s album-samarbejde med krautrock-legenderne i bandet Faust ‘Outside the Dream Syndicate’, det franske motorik-rockband France og sågar The Velvet Underground. Bandet er aktuel med udgivelsen ‘Instruments’ fra maj 2025, som er blevet beskrevet som “communal jams on astral planes” i The Quietus. Forgængeren ‘E’ fra sidste år blev kaldt “a reaffirming testament to just how ecstatic and mighty minimalism can be” i Pitchfork. Kom med, bliv blæst bagover, og lokket med ind i Water Damages hypnotiske lydunivers, når de spiller på ALICE til september!

In English:
The American psych-drone collective Water Damage doesn’t just feature one — but two drummers. Their sound is marked by heavy repetition and something utterly irresistible. Get blown away, and be drawn into Water Damage’s hypnotic sonic universe when they perform at ALICE this September – joined by Danish rock band Shiny Darkly.
Shiny Darkly:
Since the release of their debut EP in 2012, Copenhagen-based band Shiny Darkly has continuously reinvented itself. From dark post-punk and drone to the elegant and eclectic genre experiments on their 2018 album Bronze, and now to the heavy alternative rock they practice today.
Shiny Darkly consists of Mads Lassen on drums and Kristoffer Bech on vocals and guitar. Lately, they have been experimenting with their live setup, which can range from a full lineup of musicians to performing as a duo. For the night at ALICE, they will present some new material with the band’s two musicians alone on stage. Don’t miss out on this chance to experience ever-evolving Shiny Darkly in an intimate and intense setup!
Water Damage:
Water Damage operates by the principle of “Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation.” A whole lot of repetition and as little variation as possible pretty much sums up the sound of this American psych-drone collective. Their sonic landscapes transport you far, far away. Or, as Pitchfork has described the band’s music: "Forget music that makes you feel no pain. What about music that makes you feel like nothing at all, that pushes and pulverizes you until every woe, hope, and worry disappears like dust?" It may sound intense, but within the roaring minimalism of Water Damage’s sound lies something strangely irresistible; a slow, ecstatic surrender.
Over the years, Water Damage has counted from a handful to a dozen members – with two of whom are drummers. The collective features musicians known from projects like Spray Paint, Black Eyes, USA/Mexico, more eaze, Thor & Friends, Marriage, Swans, SUR, and Astral Spirits Records. Their music has been compared to Tony Conrad’s collaborative album with krautrock legends Faust, Outside the Dream Syndicate, the French motorik-rock band France, and even The Velvet Underground. The band’s latest release, ‘Instruments’ from May 2025, was described by The Quietus as “communal jams on astral planes.” Its predecessor, ‘E’, from last year was hailed by Pitchfork as “a reaffirming testament to just how ecstatic and mighty minimalism can be.” Come, get blown away, and let yourself be drawn into Water Damage’s hypnotic sonic universe when the collective play at ALICE this September!
