For this year’s afterparty Stukafest is back at VERA! Bringing you two more bands and a DJ to close off this year’s edition of the student room festival. Get your tickets through this link.

Crybabies
Have you ever considered how a thunderstorm would sound during clear sunny skies? Crybabies from Tilburg, the Netherlands knows how to conjure up that feeling into heavy beats, fuzzy, dreamy guitars and melancholic lyrics. As the name suggests, the members love to shed a little tear now and then (often), and they find that being “too” sensitive is a great thing to be in a cold and bitter world. Inspired by the riot grrrl movement, Crybabies brings a mix of light-hearted humor, feminine rage and bangin’ bubble grunge to the stage.

Stof
From biting the dust, to ashes to dust. From stardust, to the stuff on your bookshelf. With contemplative Dutch lyrics, Stof explores the intersections of the dirty, raw with the philosophical, ethereal. Acoustic and electronic instruments, diverse genres, and a steady groove are seamlessly stitched together into a brand new garment. Their eclectic, energetic, and slightly absurd show won’t leave you in cold clothes!
Did you lose the thread? Don’t! After their successful shows at Noorderzon and Grunnsonic Stof will kick up a storm of dust with their first EP on the 30th of May. Come catch them here to witness their new bangers before the big release!
Risen from the dust: Stof.

Fré
Big hair, Big smile, big happy. Fré is swinging by to cap off the Afterparty!
Having started his musical journey in 2020, Fré was naturally drawn to the floaty/ melodic sounds of progressive/ organic house and melodic techno. Loving the euphoric feeling these sounds could bring him he wondered if he could push his own boundaries mixing a funky vibe with melodic sounds. While staying loyal to his progressive roots Fré is now exploring the (progressive) Trance, 90’s & Hard House sounds.
