Benefiet Maloe Melo with Octopus & George and the Rams at De Nieuwe Anita Amsterdam
An underground, nostalgic acid rock night.
This evening we will throw a benefit party for the Maloe Melo! This Amsterdam staple is the oldest Blues and Rock N Roll Bar and music venue of Europe, and it needs some sprucing up! So all proceeds of this evening will go the this legendary place. So come, dance and donate! Octopus is a maniacal four-piece psychedelic garage rock band straight from the Dutch underground. By cooking up elements from 60s psychedelic rock, punk and indie they create a recipe for brilliant disaster. George & The Rams mixt 70’s vibes in een explosief, modern jasje. Van de disco van Chic tot de yacht rock van Steely Dan, met een vleugje Al Green. Dansbaar en zonnig, met diepe teksten voor wie wil. Hun debuut-EP belandde op Soul ‘n the City en New Music Friday. De volgende EP tilt hun sound naar een nieuw niveau: vol groove, energie en catchy songs!
