Benefit for MiGreat
Join us the 19th of September in raising funds for MiGreat; an organisation fighting for freedom of movement and equal treatment in the Netherlands. They are doing some seriously important field work in Ter Apel, by provinding refugees who would otherwise sleep outside with tents and sleeping bags.
MiGreat are an independent organisation who are able to do their work through support by donations and volunteers, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!
Joining the night are TEARDRINKER from Rotterdam, politically charged sonic mayhem traversing the edge of sludge, black metal, screamo and hardcore.
RUEN, anarcho-folk turned crust. An alliance spanning from Utrecht to Alentejo on tour promoting their new album ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’.
New punks on the block MAULKORB are already making the rounds around town, recently releasing their self-titled demo, they are ready to rumble at the ORKZbar!
There will be stands and distros present with art, prints, records as well as books provided by Fugitive Books.
Doors 21.00 / First band 21.30 / Bring cash!

The ORKZ-bar is part of the ORKZ, a legalised squat in the south of Groningen. Located in the old kitchens of the former Roman-Catholic hospital, the bar is run by volunteers, and usually open from 22:00 till late (except mondays and wednesdays).
The ORKZ-bar is not available for rent; try the RKZbios instead.
