Vanity Box is a four-member band from Groningen, playing songs that you might encounter on the first page of an old novel or in one of your favorite dated TV shows. With the same interest as reading that first page, you continue to listen to Vanity Box's music due to their balance between jangly shoegaze and a subdued yet noisy indie sound. Vanity Box navigates you through the reflections and images of lived and desired lives. Experience this live at SIMPLON UP!

PARO draws from a vast range of genres and time periods, making it feel like you're in a movie one moment and giving you an overwhelming urge to dance the next. A nostalgic feeling for – not the past, but – the present is evoked as their vivid storylines and catchy hooks melodiously float through the space. PARO's lyrics come to life through the rhythms and human-alien synthesizer, pulling the listener helplessly into a new world. Their debut EP was released in December, offering a gentle slice of life. From the scream of Caviar deep into the void to the cheerful race Flashing and the Lash: this EP is a rollercoaster of emotions, and the release you were looking for.
