Grote Geelstaart

Grote Geelstaart is a pop, rock and indie act performing at The Lanes in Bristol. The project has built a live show around heavy equipment, dense layered sound and unusual rhythms.

Grote Geelstaart has played festivals including Valkhof, Into The Great Wide Open and Noorderslag, and has toured across the Netherlands during Popronde. Their debut EP, Van Reijnst, came before those appearances, and the project closed a Dutch run with a slot on the MAX at the Eindfeest in Melkweg.

On stage, the act travels with a large amount of gear, including two drum kits and a wide collection of pedals. Their set combines thick, carefully built noise with unconventional time signatures, and the rhythms carry a dance-driven, Dadaist streak. The performers wear white shirts and coloured ties, a contrast with the uncompromising sound.

Recent releases include the single Vracht 7, the first release from a forthcoming EP, and the second EP, Wij Zinken, which is set to lead into a first headline tour through the Netherlands and Belgium. The Lanes is a Bristol venue that hosts concerts and shows.
