Renée #1 – Water Damage, The Homesick, Jacco Weener & Bog Bodies
Renée presents: Water Damage, The Homesick, Jacco Weener & Bog Bodies
Free entrance
Renée
The first name of the second edition of Renée was announced a while ago, but where is the information for the first edition? Here. On Monday November 4th we present you Water Damage from Austin. Maybe the Rotterdam of Texas? But let's not bother the members of Water Damage with that question. They are busy enough playing one note as loud as possible and as hard as possible and as intense as possible and as relentless as possible and as firm as possible and as powerful as possible and as penetrating as possible and as merciless as possible. Water Damage's motto can be translated as "maximum repetition, minimum deviation". In other words, the band's music is based on what they would call drones in their own country. A welcome counterbalance to contemporary... Yes... Maybe to contemporary everything.

The Homesick
The Homesick are Elias Elgersma (Vocals, Effects), Jaap van der Velde (Vocals, Effects) and Erik Woudwijk (Drums). The Homesick fuses post-punk rhythms with melodic whimsical pop into an experimental blend of great songs.
The band has been around since their first EP Television from 2013 and released their debut album Youth Hunt (Subroutine) in 2017. Hailing from the backwater Frisian municipality of Dokkum, the band shrewdly courted spirituality under their own nonconformist whims. The album played with this ambiguity as they incorporated this in their sound through the mixing of dark post-punk with sure-fire pop earworms. Their second album The Big Exercise (SubPop) from 2020 inverses this sound, second-guessing their core chemistry as a live unit. Where the debut album incorporates vocals drenched in reverb, warped synths and distorted guitars, the Big Excercise leaves a hint of romanticism through the baroque elements such as piano, acoustic guitar, percussion and clarinet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can we expect from Water Damage on Monday evening November 4th in Roodkapje?
A: Powerful minimalism from a group of about eight. Drummers, bassists, guitarists and a violinist who will reset our brains with their repetitive rock. An E chord. Multiple E chords perhaps. It is not for nothing that their new album ‘In E’ was given an E,E by Pitchfork.
Q: Does the fact that admission to this concert on Monday evening November 4th in Roodkapje is free mean that the evening will be worthless?
A: No, on the contrary. And we at Renée are convinced that a good evening can cost a little money. But the first week of November is the Rotterdam Pop Week, and for that reason the Popunie has offered to cover all costs. For which we are of course very grateful to the Popunie.
