Vrooom is an (ir)regular event series and it took mainly taking place at the Kapelzaal of Het Klooster in Rotterdam-Noord, until last spring (2015) when this cooperation was ended. Since then Vrooom is more like a travelling party, but our main places of collaboration are WORM, Post Office & Roodkapje at the moment. The concerts are organised by Lukas Simonis and Sascha Roth. The locations we used until now (2013-2019); WORM, BAD, DePlayer, De Maaskamer, Post Office, Wolfart Project Space, Het Klooster, Pink Pank, V11, Koffie en Ambacht and the Charlois church.
We focus on experiments in left field music, improvisation, electro acoustic and performance art, adding dj’s, visuals or anything else that excites. Freeform fun, implausible and overtollig vet!
The Vrooom collective;
Sascha Roth– vrooom program, former WORMer organiser, independent promoter, dj.
Lukas Simonis– vrooom program, performer, musician, producer, another former wormer.
Sanne Van Ham – help in all directions.
Vincent Denieul – sound
