On 19 December at Paradiso, the organisation/indie promoter Subbacultcha! celebrates its second birthday with a huge party and lots of live music. I’m starting to get the impression everyone is invited to play as the line-up just keeps growing. Here’s just a selection of artists who currently have their name down: T-99, About, Ghost Trucker, The Bent Moustache, Zoppo, Blues Brother Castro, Hospital Bombers, David Gilmour Girls, The Ik Jan Cremers, Lucky Fonz III, Aux Raus, zZz, Oops-A-Daisies, The Pedro Delgados and Scram C Baby.

It’s still a few weeks off, but what I like is that to mark the occasion, Subbacultcha! has put together an mp3 compilation containing 13 of the bands (with downloadable artwork too). Handy for locals looking to grab rare tracks by bands they might have missed so far, and excellent for anyone further afield looking to catch a glimpse into the inner underground of the Dutch/Amsterdam indie scene.

You can download the compilation here.
