The first announced act she will take to church is Dorpsstraat 3, a Dutch band that operates somewhere between post-punk and synth-wave, although they are influenced by music from all kinds of eras and places. Their debut EP, "Bijgeloof in de Lage Landen" ('Superstition in the Low Countries'), came out in 2022, and 2023 saw the single "Aan tafel bij de Goden," with a forthcoming EP to be released in September.
