"Dat shoom met kop en schouders boven het maaiveld uitsteekt en één van de spannendste en opwindendste acts is van dit moment" - 3voor12

Biography

Instrumental five-piece shoom emerged at the beginning of 2022, debuting in the Dutch alternative music scene with an intimate living room concert. Since then, the band has opened for legendary groups Battles and Ice Age, performed at ESNS twice, and has been selected for Popronde 2024. In a schizophrenic fever dream of subtle rhythms, loud swinging guitars, and poignant saxophone solos, shoom showcases influences from all corners of music: from black midi to John Coltrane and from MF DOOM to British neo-jazz.
