About the invite, Colin Van Eeckhout from AMENRA reveals…”When I was a kid my aunt used to listen to them shitloads. The Likes. Adam and the Ants and The Cure. I only had my 7 year old self as a reference and it blew my mind. I think around that time Floodland got released and I listened to it over and over. Thinking they weren’t from this world. The drum machines, bass-lines…the drive of it all. I grew to love their sense of identity, community, the aesthetics, and how the band was a complete work of art. I guess since then I have been attracted to the darker side of things. This to me feels like coming full circle. A place where past and future meet.”
