Hardslag
Group 5 Copy

“Hardslag” is een powertrio uit Enschede met maar één doel voor ogen.
Zo veel mogelijk zalen, kelders, kroegen, festivals en establishments tot de grond afbreken met hun combi-natie van hiphop, drum and bass en punk-mentaliteit. Frontman Ruben, bassist Jelle en drummer Merlin kwamen samen vanuit een collectief gevoel van “het gehad hebben” en besloten dit gevoel om te zetten in muziek. Ze zijn het met veel dingen niet eens, maar pre-tenderen niet de waarheid te bezitten. Dat doet er ook niet toe, als je maar lang genoeg blijft schoppen valt er vanzelf wel iets om.

In plaats van oplossingen brengt “Hardslag” je een avond gehoord worden over je frustraties met de staat, de rijken en je ex. Alle drie de bandleden behoren tot de “verloren generatie” en zien voor hun ogen hun kansen in rook opgaan. Dit is precies de groep mensen die “Hardslag” wilt aanspreken en een hart(d) onder de riem steken. Jullie zijn niet alleen, wij zijn er ook klaar mee. En wat datgene is?
Dat zien we later wel.

Dear visitor,

With a lot of energy and confidence and after years of research and inventory, the preparations for the Flycatcher Rock Festival started last year. We have worked together with very experienced people and companies from the festival world to organize a solid festival with a high-quality line-up. In the end, Flycatcher did not succeed in its set-up, because, despite the preparation, the right experience and knowledge, but certainly also a good line-up, there was not enough enthusiasm for this festival. That made us decide to cancel the festival because of too little interest from other potential visitors. That was a very difficult decision, but there was no other option.

For the festival, all parties involved worked hard to promote and implement the festival in a responsible manner, but the fact remains that due to the disappointing ticket sale, the financial risks were too high. The only conclusion that could ultimately be drawn was to cancel the festival. This decision has not been easy, but it was the only pure option.

In the background, we have been working hard in recent months to limit the financial consequences of the festival and to investigate possible alternatives. The fact is that all input and funds received have been paid to bands and suppliers, but also that there are no further funds left to pay the rest of the claims. To our great regret, this also applies to the people who have bought a ticket, but also to partners such as Stanislaus Brewskovitch who have suffered a major financial setback due to this situation. The situation has been submitted to various authorities and the consequence is that Flycatcher Festival BV will cease to exist.

We are very sorry that this has happened.
