Info

Kaboutertje Putlucht is the rave-punk band from Nijmegen — cult heroes in their region and far beyond. This riotous party band sings about the complex inner life of the kabouter (a Dutch garden gnome), full of sorrow, humour, trauma and absurdity. Expect filthy riffs, a touch of wave, a dash of rave, and Dutch lyrics that bounce unapologetically between punchlines and heartbreak.
Take all your awkwardness, insecurities, and — why not — your worst decisions, dump them in a blender and crank it up to max: that’s Kaboutertje Putlucht. Never has saying too little been this danceable, hitting children been so gleefully taboo-breaking, or losing someone’s dog quite so uncomfortably surreal. Kaboutertje Putlucht is your antidote to squeaky-clean sound. Handjes in de (put)lucht!
