At Peek-A-Boo we love people who are having an own voice. Rebels who have something to say, anarchists who say words others don't dare to speak.
Ai Weiwei is an artist as such. He hates his homecountry China and in every interview this artist expresses his anger and disbelief towards this government.
Alison Klaymann made an intriguing film about the man. Out of 126 candidates the documentary has been chosen to appear in the shortlist for the Oscars. This very interesting documentary is now available in the Benelux through Living Colour.
Don't say we don't spoil you as Peek-A-Boo got informed by Atomic Neon that you can grab their music for free. Well, at least some EP's that is....
Quite difficult to say that they're postpunk or coldwave, but we definitely know these guys from Essen are very good.

What would BIMfest be without a portion (ha!) of industrial music?

ARCANA "Un Passage Silencieux" Digital (59th Cycle)
Back in 2005 Arcana's "Le Serpent Rouge" album was released, and the first 100 copies came in a special box hand made by Peter Bjärgö himself.
Within that box, there was a code that promised the owners of this box a limited edition "sister" release to be publisehd at a later date. In 2011, the release finally came to life under the title "Un Passage Silencieux".
A 4 song album, three newly made with oriental, arabic influences and the fourth being a remix of the track "Amber", titled "A New Amber" and now with female vocals added. Only 100 physical copies if this new album were pressed and sent to those who had purchased the box. But with time the demand for these songs just go overwhelming and so a digital only release was, it seems, a good option for those unlucky ones that missed out on the physical release
Still like ten days to go before BIMFEST happens.
Time to buy your tickets and time enough to present a band.
What about Simi Nah?
