In 2019, kicking off Freak Valley Festival—a niche event in Germany's Netphen-Deuz spotlighting psychedelic and stoner rock with 60s–70s retro vibes—the Dutch trio DeWolff, assembled in 2007 as a teen outfit drawing from Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, unleashed a vibrant set accentuating their signature groove via Robin Piso's commanding Hammond organ. The June 20 broadcast via Rockpalast from AWO-Gelände featured eight tracks off Thrust, from the riff-heavy "Big Talk" and bluesy "Tombstone Child" to improvisational "Medicine" and the psychedelic closer "Deceit & Woo" with Pablo van de Poel's solos, eliciting crowd rapture for the raw vigor of the young musicians—Pablo (vocals, guitar), Luka (drums), and Robin. WDR critics dubbed it a "fiery opener" to the fest, bolstering DeWolff's festival darling status despite their youth, though enthusiasts sought more early staples; this gig foreshadowed their worldwide acclaim, including Edison Award nods.
