We (Lepel) got kicked out of our venue just a few days to soon. If we had one more week we could host this show at our own venue but it's not meant to be. Luckily, the very friendly folks at Vera Downstage were happy to help out. (Thanks dudes!) 

We're very happy to have Des Ark over in Groningen. Her records have been in our modest collection for quite a while now and we're very anxious to see her live. This time she's on tour as a two-piece together with the guitarist of Appleseed Cast playing her more quiet songs. Beautiful heartfelt songs filled with sadness and hope. If you're into 'singersongwriters' (musicians?) who have their heart on their sleeve and don't care if it's showing this is for you. 

To keep it on the quiet side we've asked our friend of Cpt. Badass to open the night with their breakable dark-country tunes. They haven't played live in a while so this is your chance to get reacquainted. The band is just mainly Jaap Oldhof now. He said he might bring his friend John along, maybe, we'll see. It's going to be great anyway. Jaap is a songsmith and he will aways be, and he will always be great.

Hope to see you at the Downstage! | LEPEL
