PALEBLUE

Paleblue is a band from Utrecht that explores the edge between 90's grunge, punk, and modern shoegaze. A bit of Soundgarden, some Slowdive, the energy of Fugazi here and there, and yes, even a hint of Placebo. The band started as a passion project of guitarist Jaybe Cevat and vocalist Jasper Koppelaardie, who wanted to record their first EP together within three months. Soon, fellow students from the HKU formed a band as they couldn't contain their hunger for the stage any longer. That EP came to fruition: Weak Days // Weekdays, featuring seven super punchy tracks. Listening to Paleblue, you'll notice the contrast between melancholic pieces full of effects, swinging dance riffs, and blistering grunge with pounding drums. Combine this with charged lyrics sung with full commitment, and you have the recipe for a band that'll make sure you won't want to stand still for a second during the entire show. Exactly what we needed this Friday night at BRIDGE Around Town in Stroomhuis!
