Ratchet

This event will take place at Lab Grounds (‘s-Gravendijkwal 58B). Lab Grounds is located on the second floor and there is no lift in the building, sorry for the inconvenience.

Dark and mysterious, yet with the core of an outspoken heart: that’s what Leiden-based alternative indie artist Ratchet (Karel Laureijs) puts on stage with his music. What started as a way to impress a girl at school grew into something much bigger than his solo project. And now he brings his story to Lab Grounds.  

His music is best described as a stroll in the middle of the night, through a lit up city. Every song has its own unique aesthetic and most of the time tells a story about Ratchet’s personal problems in life. He tries to be mysterious, but clear enough for everyone to enjoy his music. While most of his songs are different in style or genre, they all share Ratchet’s story.
