Deby Medrez Pier + Sterling Rhyne + Robbing Millions + Lijie @ The Way Station

8pm- Deby Medrez Pier
Genre: Folk / Cabaret

Medrez’s inspiring, haunting and melancholic tunes recall on echoes of the long forgotten Comedian Harmonistes, Andrew Bird and Nino Rota. Her songs are dedicated to universal and philosophical questions about life, judaism, love and Identity.

“Brooklyn-via-Mexico-City singer/songwriter Deby Medrez Pier depicts the final beauty of transience in her painterly songs... the musician conjures a sweetly fleeting seaside romance with a Hemingway-esque elegance while she conveys perhaps ephemeral personal frustration. Beyond its sheer prettiness, most striking about Pier’s music is its ageless nature; these deeply felt, sparsely-constructed tracks may sound like they came from early twentieth-century Paris but they’re just as vital in twenty-first-century New York.” - Zach Weg. The Deli Mag

10pm- Robbing Millions
Genre: Psych Pop

Robbing Millions, notorious for their crazy live shows and signature videos, started out in 2013 with a self-produced ep titled ‘Ages and Sun’ that immediately buzzed its way through the Belgian and French alternative music scene. The band played several prestigious festivals just months after their start-up (Les Nuits Botaniques, Les Ardentes, Dour festival, Pukkelpop, Paléo Festival), supporting bands such as Metronomy, Palma Violets and Babyshambles, … & was chosen as ‘artist in residence’ by Belgian’s most famous concert venue AB (Ancienne Belgique).

They released a second EP ‘Lonely Carnivore’ (dec 2014) – and ended up playing more than 70 shows in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, UK and Suisse over the past 18 months. They’re considered to be one of Belgium’s most promising indie acts, described as (sorry, but we need to give you an idea…) “a heavier take on ALT-J’s alt pop” & “Phoenix meets MGMT”)
