- **Event Name**: Strange Universe: Smerz & Erny Belle (Duo)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: SMERZ &amp; ERNY BELLE (DUO) - WEDNESDAY 4 MARCH - DOUBLE WHAMMY
This genre-bending duo from Norway have been causing a beautiful stir this year, with the likes of Pitchfork going ape over the “retrofuturist warehouse pop” of Smerz’s 2025 album Big city life. While the pairing of Catharina Stoltenberg and Henriette Motzfeldt is impossible to pin down to a single sound, Boomkat labelled them “a sort of genius missing link between Astrid Sonne, Cibo Matto and Luscious Jackson”, and The Quietus placed them “in the zone where club music, art-school minimalism, and emotional confession overlap”.  Smerz have invited the one-and-only Erny Belle to join the bill at Double Whammy for one of her only shows of the season!
