Cashmyra doesn’t believe in sugarcoating. Their Dutch-language post-punk cuts, scrapes, and soothes all at once, with lyrics that are as confronting as they are spot-on. Expect a show that teeters between raw outbursts and icy silences – and won’t leave you alone for a single moment.

Cashmyra’s mildly intimidating post-punk hits you with a brutal punch to the jaw, only to gently kiss your cheek afterward – apologies for the discomfort. Cashmyra writes about making mistakes, everything falling apart, and the attempt to find happiness. Lyrics that are then spat openly and directly into the listener’s face.

On their upcoming album Sterven doe je toch wel (You’re Going to Die Anyway, expected this fall), the duo shows multiple sides of themselves: the raw energy remains, but is interspersed with unexpectedly calm moments, whispered words, and a sharper focus on subtlety. Still confronting – but more layered than ever.
