The Little Menace is a collaborative music and theatrical project by Lana van der Brug and Rein Postma, who found each other in Amsterdam queer nightlife. The Little Menace brings a 1 hour live performance that mixes dark minimal soundscapes and (deconstructed) dance music with theatrical drag.
It showcases a non-binary persona driven by intense, unfiltered emotions that are often suppressed in society. We need, as a society, to give more space to collectively feel and express our emotions. Taking inspiration from their own lives, they find an outlet for the darker parts within themselves. Musically they like to play with the quiet, the loud and the absurd. Their sounds reigns in between abstract moody soundscapes to deconstructed gabber. The point is to create a universe where we feel the music and our bodies are moved by that place of feeling.
