Desinteresse + Hondenfokker

No-wave coldwave dance friction

Plus Instruments is the ever-evolving project of Truus de Groot, Eindhoven-born artist and pioneering force in Dutch underground music. Since 1978, Truus has shaped a singular sound world where improvisation, minimalism, groove and experimentation collide. Often called the “Queen of the Dutch Underground,” she developed Plus Instruments as an open and fluid collective, continuously reinvented through new collaborations. From early connections with New York’s no-wave and experimental scenes to decades of recordings and performances worldwide, Plus Instruments has remained fearless and forward-moving. Today, together with Richard van Kruysdijk, driving rhythms, electronic sequences and raw energy create immersive sets built equally for listening and dancing.

Based between Amsterdam and Groningen, Hondenfokker is a kennel-broken three-piece caught somewhere between a rave and a riot. The band smashes jagged guitar riffs into a mess of chaotic beats and analog synth bass, built for both the dancefloor and the mosh pit. Impossible to keep on a leash with vocals snapping between catchy hooks and wild improvisations, sinking their teeth in and refusing to let go.
