zZz – Amsterdam
www.soundofzzz.com
Nastali so bo prelomu tisočletja, ko sta se cimra Bjorn Ottenheim in Daan Schinkel v Amsterdamu odločila delati glasbo na poceni bobnih in cerkvenih električnih orglah za 50 $. Po enem tednu vaj in petih pesmih ju je na žur povabil najbolj zloglasen nizozemski tihotapec, v enem letu so posneli demo Bikini Inferno, založba Excelsior pa je izdala prvi sinlgle »Godspeeed/Extasy«- slednja skladba je bila pred kratkim vključena v soundtrack nizozemskega filmskega hita kot spremljava najbolj divje seks-scene.S kombinacijo fatalističnega vokala Iana Curtisa (Joy Division) in temne psychobillyjevske komedije pevke Cramps Lux Interior ustvarja ta nori nizozemski duo pošastno grmenje samo z električnimi orglami, bobni in glasom.Molotovi koktaili divjega trancea, psihedeličnega elektra, garažnega soula in umazanega rock'n'rolla: to je definicija glasbe zZz.
Prvi album »The Sound Of zZz« je izšel maja 2005, nato sta nastopala po Evropi , med drugim s s Franzom Ferdinandom, v Franciji pa s The Strokes, Gossip in Daft Punk, potem na štirimesečni solo-turneji po ZDA, na Japonskem pa kot predvozača za Fat Boy Slima in Happy Mondays.

It has hosted well-known music artists in the past years, among them: Fun Lovin Criminals, Living Colour, Asian Dub Foundation, Henry Rollins, Dog Eat Dog, Liquido, The Toasters, H-Blockx, Emil Bulls, Primal Fear, Fishbone, Stereo MC's, Fundamental, Apocalyptica,
Chumbawamba … Yet more than music this festival is marked by the numerous and varied activities of its daily programme. Street theatre performances, creative workshops in different skills, clowns, jongleurs, and many more give the Festival its distinguishing note, all being topped by the unique games and joys in the mud-pool, especially the Miss and Mister Mud selections, Rock Otočec Model competition and Football Matches.
