10 Year Anniversary Party

Releaseparty

Well, I know it’s been a few days, but I had to recover from all the awesomeness of this party… On Friday, we celebrated 10 years of Tiny Room Records at Studio Patrick, with the Foundlings LP ready for pickup and beautiful performances by Herrek, Master Solo, and Coaster.

It wasn’t just a packed, mega humid night full of smiling music lovers – it was also a culmination of everything we’ve worked on TOGETHER over the past ten years. It was one of those special nights that remind you why it’s good to be alive, even with all the stupid stuff in the world. At least, that’s how it felt to me – I really love this little indie community.

Big thanks to my bandmates Arno, Ab, and Gino for helping me organize everything, and of course to Arthur for the sound! Another huge thank you to Anneke, Thijs, Floyd, all the artists, and everyone else who supports this label, this place, and this music in any way.

The first four photos are by Johan from De Groeverij, the rest by Ab al Tamimi ❤️.
We’re taking a little summer break but will be back in a few weeks with a special Patrick Open Air (on Beton-T & Studio Patrick) event on Thursday, August 21 – mark your calendars!

Painted Faces by Coaster is out now! Listen here if you’re into slowfolk a la Alex G, Low, Red House Painters and Duster. While you’re at it, secure a copy of this beautifully sounding wax with amazing album art – this is why they invented vinyl, right?

We are proud to release the second album by Combo Qazam today! On Ghost Interior, the Utrecht-based post-punk/krautrock/math rock band pursues the suffering of being human. It’s out on 12″ vinyl with another mind-blowing sleeve (made by Carolin Kastner). Only 100 of these waxy friends were being made, so get it while you can:

Platomania: “a masterpiece”
WoNo Magazine: “Combo Qazam takes me along some new roads. highways, byways and dirt tracks. The trip is nice and well worth it, surprises and all.”
Here Comes The Flood: “they are blessed with seemingly limitless ideas to work within self-imposed boundaries”
Luminous Dash: “Revision brings rhythmic simplicity in combination with surprising, noisy excesses and on Repeater and Hydra they actually make us dance to their cheerful, infectious math rhythms”

Tonight, Combo Qazam celebrates this release with an evening of underground music in ACU, Utrecht. Also playing are Tonsils from Belgium, and the new Tiny Room revelation Caspar Milquetoast. After tonight, the band plays more shows in The Netherlands. Be sure to check them out.

Podiumdorst #1

Artwork, Event, Live, Releaseparty

We are finally hosting shows again! On the last day of this month you can see Tiny Room acts Geri van Essen and Microplaza both celebrating their 2021 releases on a stage in Utrecht: Vechtclub XL. Also playing is SOON, who are releasing their debut album on Subroutine that week. From the timeless altfolk of Geri van Essen, to the playful indie pop of duo Microplaza, to the spacey kraut noise of SOON: this evening has it all. It’s on a Monday, so there’s nothing else to do anyway. And you are probably longing for live music as much as we are. See you there!

Microplaza offers online release show

Live, Releaseparty, Releases, Video

Microplaza will perform their new mini-album ‘We’ll Never Fit In This Poem Together’ this Saturday, 15:00, on the Tiny Room Records Facebook timeline. This semi-live quarantine video is the substitute to the live show that was originally planned in Dig It! Recordstore, Utrecht. Since meeting physically is not possible at the moment, we do what we can. So we offer this specially prepared ‘semi-live’ performance with live versions of the songs on the record, recorded remotely.

Stay at home, stay healthy. Watch and celebrate this 10-minute performance with us, and afterwards have a drink and talk in a Zoom session! After that, the remaining records (limited edition of 30 7″ records) will be for sale in the Tiny Room webshop. 

Toby Goodshank release show

Live, Releaseparty, Releases
We celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Toby Goodshank‘s untitled album with a re-release on LP on Tiny Room Records and Lousy Moon Records. Release show is next week, May 22, in Brewpub De Kromme Haring. Boo Hoo (DE) and Oliver Oat (NL) are the supports. Come on over for this celebration of beautiful indie music. FB event here!
 
Toby Goodshank (Brooklyn, USA) made his high-profile musical debut as a guitar player in The Moldy Peaches. He started a prolific solo career, recording and self-releasing 14 albums in a five-year span and touring Europe with artists including Jeffrey Lewis and Kimya Dawson. Goodshank’s style draws from a variety of pop, underground art and musical influences and employs many instrumental textures. Unconventional song structure, humor, innuendo and wordplay are staples of his music and artwork. He co-founded the 3MB art collective with Adam Green and Macaulay Culkin. Toby is on tour for 2 weeks in The Netherlands and Germany, and this is the first date.
