The Rotterdam band Another Taste is playing at BIRD in their own city, and for good reason: this is their album release show. A special evening in a venue that feels like their natural habitat.
On Friday, May 1st, they'll present their new album at BIRD. Expect an evening focused on groove, live energy, and a band that knows exactly what they're about. Another Taste defies categorization. Their sound moves between funk, disco, boogie, and modern grooves, always with their own signature. Not nostalgic, but simply contemporary. This Rotterdam collective built its unique sound in Danilo Plessow's (MCDE) home studio, entirely on tape and analog equipment. No frills, no perfection, just character, warmth, and groove. One of those takes found its way to the world before the first vinyl was even pressed and went viral.
While their 2023 debut album primarily showcased their versatility, Another Taste II (2026) is a complete immersion: sharper songs, richer arrangements, and hidden stories for those who listen closely. Through characters, interludes, artwork, and lyrics, an imaginary metropolis unfolds; a counterpoint, a refuge for those seeking vibrancy in confusing times.
The band grew along with that universe. The original lineup—Bob Roche, Bobby van Putten, Barend Lippens, and Teun van Zoggel—is now reinforced by Sarina Voorn, Diogo Carvalho, and Florian Verhagen. Together, they've already rocked venues and festivals from Love Supreme to ADE, and from KOKO London to New Morning Paris.
