Second Hand Sunset
Second Hand Sunset is the singer-songwriter duo of Nipun Vashishta and Sauvik Bhattacharya. Formed in a tiny corner of Amsterdam on a secret Sunday, it brings together Nipun’s Indian classical singing and Sauvik’s jazz guitar playing into an envelope of dark, folk-inspired acoustic atmosphere. Meeting over influences such as Damien Rice, Iron & Wine and Ben Howard, Second Hand Sunset sings about hidden loves, lost homelands, growing up pains and identity.

The Earwurms
Conceptual punk band The Earwurms wiggle their way into your ears with savory words and a shebang of sound. Born within the Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam, they made their way into the Dutch DIY and activist stages, while over the years their identity expanded beyond music to encompass stage outfits and various visual elements. Drawing from no wave, riot girrrl, punk, math rock and art rock, their music explores the joy and understanding found in the banal.
