The Dutch Moonchild Agency started halfway the nineties stalking concert venues and making prank calls for the sake of pure pleasure. He began with Room 101 and soon involved other bands
and is slowly getting a foot between the door of the live circuit.

ROOM 101
Is a tight noiserock trio pounding loud punky song with strange interludes and an energetic performance. Theyve been around a while and are responsible for numerous gigs and two albums and a dozen cassettes on their own Commercial Suicide label. Think of Unwound, Fugazi, Television.
CHEECH WIZARD
Are an adventurous group combining elements of jazz and pop with noise and (post)rock. They made three albums and played at lots of stages and festivals. Influenced by the likes of PinkSonicBeefheartPolvoMotorMiles
CrimsonRedheadSlintRadioPixies
LedBrainiacShellac.
SHIRTLIFTER
Drills psychotic noise holes in your head with a sound that would even wet the pants of David Yow of Jesus Lizard and Steve Albini, the notorious Shellac frownface, who even stated that Shirtlifter is a big danger for lost schoolgirls wound up at the local punkstage.
DOODOO'S COFFEE
Is an ultra explosive powertrio, in total control of their instruments, blending composition with experiment and improvisation, with wild vocals in their own funked out way. Responsible for 1 album and much more to come.
Think Primus, Mike Watt, Janes Addiction, John Coltrane.
MERCY GIANTS
Are an introvert three piece playing slow melancholic parts with haunting high precision and subtle explosions. Co-founders of the small but cool independent dutch Zabel label.
Second album is on the way.
Truly beautiful and the dutch answer to Slint, Code�ne, Talk Talk,
June of 44.
STILLWELL
Restrained melodies, weaving guitar patterns and postrock dynamics form the core of this great five piece.
They to are sailing under the Zabel flag. Made 1 EP and album will be released in the nearby future.
Influenced by Code�ne, Slint, Mogwai, Polvo, Fugazi, Gorecki, Reich.
WE VS DEATH
Two guitars, drums, bass and trumpet.
The formula for this fresh mainly instrumental band. Think: And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Black Heart Procession, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor.
Zabel is also their label and will be releasing their debut soon.
BOY LER
Epic instrumental pianoforte. Exploiting dynamics to sustain impressions of large, physical environments. Might compare it to Mogwai, Tarentel, Giant Sand.
And yes, they are also riding on the Zabel bicycle with 1 EP.
ORANGE SUNSHINE
Earsplitting psychedelic dirty garagerock of the Motorwolf label.
Started in 1968 in LA, toured USA in those rouring times and moved back to The Hague and toured Holland and Germany. Made 2 acidrock underground
