Remember old days Thuis in Bajesdorp Festival with Case Mayfield? Millions of  cosy living-room, kitchen and garden squatadelic concerts? Well, we do a stuff of that kind that again on the 12th of may.. And this time, we just turned our village into an independant republic, so that the dutch queen can’t call us criminals anymore, mouhaha.  So take your passport and your toothbrush, get a (free) tourist visa at our non-hermetical check-point, and folk your mother with dozens of high-brow unplugged acts!

Freetown Bajesdorp Department for Official Intergalactic Propaganda

We open the borders of our freestate at 14:00 that very same day. Some nice gigs will already start at that time. The republic is at HJE Wenckebachweg 12-46, 1096AN BAJESDORP. [map and route]

The 5th edition of this mini-festival will gather kilo’s of good operational musicians, tons of squatters and non-squatters, students, hippies, yuppies, polish parasites and disabused leftists, organic freaks, fagots, hip-hop kids, provide the surrounding block with abundance of exotic food and geweldig live acoustic music in a nice mellow atmosphere. We open all our streets, gardens and houses for people to wander freely and musicians to busk.. It is 119 % non-commercial, so that nobody get asked at the entrance for a fee; food and booze is exchanged at a very democratic price;  Also, as we are right now busy with building the line up, feel free to suggest us some of your friend who’d like to perform along.

In May 2012, the festival comes back. Soberly renamed “Freetown Bajesdorp Festival”, it will still convey the same good old philosophy: gathering audience and musicians in a human-scaled, non-profit oriented setting. Read the rest of this entry »

While throwing away an old pile of dusty newspapers, persian erotic magazines and marxist comic strips, we’ve bumped into this old article from NL20, published last year, about one of our decadent gatherings… Read the rest of this entry »
