A Better Place & Barren Sea & Turmeric

These three upcoming bands simply want to pull off the most memorable shows. Tonight, for the first time, they take over the Podiumcafé at Poppodium Boerderij with original songs and original sounds.

A Better Place
A Better Place dropped their debut EP Light In The Sea in 2025. Four tracks, four honest stories—simple, authentic, raw, and relatable. The band moves between alt rock, indie, and emo to bring the songs they envision to life. 

Barren Sea
A female-fronted four-piece from Amsterdam that effortlessly mixes grunge, slowcore, and shoegaze. Barren Sea pairs strong, sharp lyrics with raw energy to build an intense live show that lingers long after. For fans of: Cocteau Twins, DIIV, Cranberries (with an edgy twist), Ride.

Turmeric
The Utrecht/Gelderland trio Turmeric moves between rough dissonance and tender harmony. A spicy blend of post-rock, post-hardcore, math rock, and shoegaze. Ride the wave of sound, or run into its wall. For fans of: Sonic Youth, Swans, Slint, Mogwai.
