On Wednesday the 27^th of May the international student associations of Leeuwarden, ESN Leeuwarden and FReC, organize the third edition of the intercultural music event “International Student Night LIVE” in Poppodium Romein. This time the Swedish folk-punk sisters of Baskery, the Groningen based funkband Growlin’ Love & Pain around the Italian singer/guitar player Marco Cinelli, the Bolsward based roots/reggae & dub band Riddim X and the all-girl rock band Six Senses will perform. Pepper & Salt DJ-Team will supply the world’s spiciest & hottest tunes before, in between and after the acts. The doors will open at 20.00 (8 p.m.) and the entrance fee will be only 4 Euros. Despite the name the event is also accessible for non-students.

Baskery consists of three beautiful sisters from Stockholm, Sweden. The girls call their own music “High Voltage” and use terms like “Killbilly”, “Banjo-Punk” and “Mud-Country” rather than traditional ones, since they are certainly not bound to any specific genre. On stage they show distinctive character and a reckless, unafraid punk attitude. The girls already toured successfully trough Ireland, Sweden, France, Canada, the United States, Denmark and Norway and lately they got confirmed for the famous Lowlands Festival, one of the biggest and most popular music festivals in the Netherlands. The only show they will give in Holland before the Lowlands Festival will be in Leeuwarden on “International Student night LIVE”.

Growlin’ Love and Pain originated out of an idea of the Italian singer/guitar player Marco Cinelli. His goal was to mix black music with white southern rock in order to create a band that embraces all musical genres that he played and loved during his life. Inspired by the music of Hendrix, Parliament Funkadelic, Sly Stone and the Rolling Stones the band creates a completely new sound. Growlin’ Love & Pain is ready to prove live what they stand for.

The Bolsward-based roots, reggae and dub band Riddim X brings a warm mix of Roots, Dancehall and Dub. From their first promo cd the songs “The Park” and “Guesthouse” reached the number 1 and number 2 position in the Dutch Reggae Chart. Following this promo Riddimx made several appearances with Eek-a mouse and on the stage of various festivals and clubs in the Netherlands. The responses to these shows were very positive and Riddim X quickly became a strong live band. Reggae of Frisian soil with real horns, keys, guitars, percussion and a fat groovin’ riddim section.
