Pip Blom
Initially created as a solo project by frontwoman Pip Blom, the band of the same name has built up a reputation as an excellent live act in the Netherlands since the release of their debut album, “Boat” (2019). Now a trio with a changing lineup, the group play indie rock with legitimate slacker vibes from an overheated garage that regularly evoke Courtney Barnett and early Pavement. However, Pip Blom are never afraid of development or change, which is why they have always moved forward from a lo-fi project to a successful band project. On their latest album, “Bobbie” (2023), the EQs veer more towards electropop, dance-punk, and new wave, which logically also has an effect on the intensity of a Pip Blom concert. Indeed, testimonies have been outrageous: When vocals and guitars grow into snotty anthems and cups fly around, that’s just the beginning. After years, the group are finally celebrating their return to the stages of Reeperbahn in 2024. Don’t forget your helmets and fire extinguishers.
