Paardcafé X LOUDER

LOUDER is a live radio program made by Nicky, one of the female DJs of GirlPower Radio.

Nicky’s love for live music and discovering new bands/artists has led to the creation of LOUDER. Live music & Live radio with an audience ensures that LOUDER has become a program where bands would like to be guests. The combination of playing live in the Paardcafe, being interviewed with an audience and getting airplay on the well-listened to GirlPower Radio is exactly what makes the program unique and this concept fits very well with the vision of the Paard.

Guests in this broadcast: I Am Lotus & Callkoen

I Am Lotus is best described as a cheerful and sunny mix of psychedelic music, disco and pop from the polder. Armed with catchy melodies, rhythms from all corners of the world and good stories, they break the barrier between Western and world music. At times it reminds me of Vampire Weekend, then again of Paul
Simon. This five-member hippie factory preaches love and fun, facilitating an ultimate ‘Summer of Love’ moment.

The Hague locals Callkoen dares to promise you one thing; If you come and see them live, it will be a party. With an extremely danceable mix of reggae and ska, they know how to get everyone moving sooner or later. The songs are accessible due to influences from pop music, but after six years the men still manage to surprise with some additions from a rougher angle here and there. All this makes Callkoen a true live sensation and a guarantee for an unforgettable evening!
