22-year-old Amsterdam-based Pip Blom  started writing, recording and releasing her own indie-pop tunes with a twist in 2016. Early songs, which were simply uploaded to the internet, quickly amassed thousands and thousands of plays - prompting Pip to recruit a band and start playing them live.

In stepped brother Tender Blom on backing vocals and guitar, Darek Mercks on bass and Gini Cameron on drums, with Pip herself fronting on guitar on vocals. Since, the band have played more than a hundred gigs, rising from small pubs to the European festival circuit with performances at Eurosonic Noorderslag and The Great Escape - as well as being asked by the likes of Surfer Blood, Franz Ferdinand and The Breeders to join them on their various European tours.

The band’s energetic live show quickly pricked the ears of press and radio - with Vice’s music channel hailing Pip as ‘ready to join the ranks of 2018’s rising guitar acts', and BBC 6 Music A-listing recent singles ‘I Think I’m In Love’ and ‘Pussycat’. The station’s DJs Marc Riley hailed the former as ‘perfect pop’ with Gideon Coe branding it ‘excellent’ and Noisey be like “The young woman is a huge talent. Not only impressive but pretty awesome."

The support act of this evening won the finale of the bandcompetition De Kleine Prijs van Nederland and they chose Pip Blom as headliner.  Do you like to get wild to some old school rock ‘n roll? Coming all the way from cheese capital Alkmaar, the three-piece indie rock band Mr Stone and the Black Dogs is going to try to sweat you out of your pants!
