The People's Pleasure GroundsNL + Donna BlueNL
Noir-romantic indie groove double bill
The People’s Pleasure Grounds is like a vision upon endless beaches with deep blue waves rolling upon a lost paradise. With Jimmy de Kok functioning as the captain, this band will be able to turn venues and meadows into Californian scenes. Together the band will daze the listener with a strong dose of reverb-loaded guitars and dreamy lyrics. The People’s Pleasure Grounds is the absolute must-see for everyone embracing the sixties surfscene.
Moving from a dream state to lush sensory excitement, the duo behind Donna Blue invites you into a grainy, cinematic realm. For those who accept the invitation, the reward is tantalising: the twang of jangly guitars, sensual vocals, coolness and velvet curtains concealing a mysterious parallel universe. Once you’re in, you’ll want to surrender to their noir-romantic sound.
Their music reminds one of the likes of Nancy & Lee and Serge Gainsbourg – whilst also drawing inspiration from film composers such as Ennio Morricone and Piero Piccioni.
