Variety Fest

Variety Fest is here. A night full of musical experiences, adventure and breaking genre conventions. Punk, math rock, fusion jazz and electronics all in one bundle deal. Very reminiscent of a good old late night trip to the nearest supermarket.

Band Bios

Frog Jumps Out - Frog Jumps Out is a jazz fusion band that treats PlayStation 2–era racing game soundtracks with the same seriousness as Herbie Hancock. Inspired by 80s Japanese fusion icons such as Casiopea, it blends vintage electric instruments and modern grooves, while keeping the harmonic richness and improvisation of traditional jazz. Unafraid of sounding cheesy, Frog Jumps Out moves between blazing guitar solos and dramatic melodies to bring out emotions rarely foregrounded in jazz.

Brain Stain - Brain Stain is a music project founded in 2018. The music we make is what we call "Laptop Punk"—a mashup of rock, metal, breakbeat, breakcore, digital hardcore, techno, and drum and bass, inspired by everything alternative from the late '90s and early 2000s. Brain Stain's lyrics and themes are easy to scream along to, and the music is meant to give everyone their own mental moshpit.

Filmm - We're a 3-piece band born in a series of random, no-agenda jam sessions, with each of us bringing influences from across the board. We have found common ground, connected by a goal of bringing forward a set full of surprising and possibly impossible to cover moments. We weave agile math rock riffing through sturdy hardcore bass and drums - cool and good, fragile but punchy, chaotic and catchy.

Common Sexuality - From long driven passions of performing classical pieces to producing electronic music, four sexy commoners demolish age barriers by breathing new life into rock: a combination of raw energy and experimental soundscapes, featuring emotionally charged vocals, distorted riffs, and dynamic rhythms. This balance between chaos and tranquility is what eventually comes out of every gathering of Common Sexuality.
