FIEP writes captivating, distinctive indie pop anthems that are both outgoing and introspective. Veerle Suzanna Driessen’s songcraft has a distinct ear for great hooks, as well as a unique narrative quality; her music reveals inward thoughts as frequently as outward screams: the restlessness, the doubts, the musings, and – most of all – the dreams. On stage, Veerle captures these dreams along with her band FIEP, creating an energetic, powerful, and outstanding live performance. The band has supported Wet Leg, Sprints, Personal Trainer, New Dad and has had many European Festival appearances. #purpleturtlerocks #whatsonreading #gotoagigthismonth #newmusicalert #readingmusicscene #nowhearthis @groovecultshindigs @alt_berks @clubreckless @readingrocksociety @rubandsoc @readingindielife @thebestnewindie Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
