We, Star-Club, are a new initiative in Amsterdam. Our city lacks free space. That is why we organize a meeting place for people like you and me.
With a nod to the 60s club in Hamburg, the collective connects musicians, thinkers and doers in the present to keep the Punk ‘n Roll culture alive. Together we create a hybrid platform, criticize and make the city vibrate. Because yes people, there’s a whole lotta shakin’ going on.. On May 17th we start with the first physical meeting at Het Groene Veld.
Saturday May 17, 2025
Starts at 8:00 PM
At Het Machinegebouw
@ Het Groene Veld (Amsterdam Noord)
Entrance:
Presale 12,50 euros
At the door: 15,- euros
Line-up Star Club Fest:
Patrol
Patrol is a new band from Barcelona featuring members of Les Lullies, Enamorados and Sizzler. Patrol is the result of some years of working together to find the perfect balance between riffs, catchy songs and high energy rock and roll. A mix of punk, 70s hard rock and a pinch of pop. We love new bands like Coffin and Steröid just as much as we feast upon old stuff like The Vibrators and Status Quo. Our sets are loud, fast and straight to the point, make sure you don´t miss it.
Frontsector
The Groningen-based band Frontsector emerged in the early days of the pandemic, blending the raw ingredients of punk, hardcore, and a touch of garage into a highly explosive Molotov cocktail. The four give us punk as it was once meant to be played: against the status quo, against the system and without more chords than necessary.
The Covids
The band started (you wouldn’t guess) during the first pandemic lockdown in The Netherlands, so they decided to take the name “The Covids” as a badge of honour. In the fall of 2021 they finally exploded onto the stage with fire and fury. Their love for ’77 punkrock and more pop-oriented styles result in a unique and irresistible sound: catchy, raw and energetic. In their short existence, the band took the Dutch underground scene and festival circuit by storm and has also toured in Germany, France, Spain and the UK. They’ve released several digital EP’s + two vinyl singles and an album on Wap Shoo Wap Records.
Ultra Goblin
Ultra Goblin is a new Haarlem band which consists of members from the now defunct Achterlicht, along with members from Spurn and No Brains Utrecht crew. Songs are short and nasty, wielding a dual guitar, bass and synth wall of warble. Meanwhile, the drummer sounds like he’s tumbling down the stairs, together creating a hard hitting garage-synthpunk mess.
For if you like Coneheads, the Spits, The Mummies.
