HIGH ENERGY MUSICAL & VISUAL EXPERIENCE

Attending a Consumer Junk performance is far more than just going to a concert. Imagine a space where Electronic Body Music collides with raw rock guitars, thundering drums, and immersive real-time visuals, creating an unforgettable sensory overload. Whether you’re there to dance, headbang, reflect on the state of the world, or simply lose yourself in hypnotic visuals, every audience member can find their own connection to the experience.

Consumer Junk began as the brainchild of producer Gerwin van Ruiswijk in 2010 with the release of their debut album, “Product”. Initially a studio project, it evolved into a powerful live act in 2013 after a collaborative audiovisual EP with artists Marcel Verschoor and Nicole van Rietschoten from the artist collective “Must We Unite.” This creative synergy was the spark that solidified Consumer Junk’s themes: a relentless critique of consumerism, an exploration of human resilience, and a call to challenge entrenched structures and regimes.

With the addition of Etienne Baegen on drums and Niels Muijen on guitar, the group grew into a full-fledged band that delivered captivating performances. The lineup shifted in 2018 when Yannick Wattiau stepped in to replace Niels, bringing a fresh dynamic to the group.

From intimate club shows to festival stages, Consumer Junk has left its unique mark on the live music scene. Highlights include performances at renowned Dutch venues like Tivoli, P60, de Duycker, dB’s and Baroeg Open Air, where their blend of pounding rhythms and critical themes consistently captivated audiences.

After a brief hiatus, Consumer Junk is back and ready to take the stage again. Fans can expect an evolved live show featuring reimagined visuals, cutting-edge soundscapes, and the same unflinching energy that has always defined their performances.

Consumer Junk isn’t just a band, it’s a movement. Be ready to be experience it, where art, activism, and adrenaline converge.
