This Dutch rockband makes refreshing, original rock&roll with a sound of their own. Their stage performance is awesome and their drummer (Joppe) is probably one of the best in the world. They released their debut album 11-11 last year and are playing gigs all over the world now. Most of them still in the Netherlans, but also Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, UK, US, France, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Spain, etc.

They played with other Dutch acts as Woost, Gem, Eleven & Racoon. But also with international acts as The Veils, Ash, Presidents of the United States of America, Julliette & The Licks, Nada Surf, Tenacious D and more..

Mwahh, the soundquality at that performance wasn't what it should be. You could hardly hear the vocals from where we were standing. Should you see a better show I think you might like them better.

Anyway, Porn's a nice song. Pretty catchy. When I first heard their album I thought they had a few nice songs on there, but I'm afraid that when you've heard them 5 times, you've heard them enough. They do have a sound of their own though. But most of the songs sound pretty alike. It's a nice rockband, but nothing great.

And exactly why do you think their drummer is the best in the world?
Funny thing, at the show we saw, the singer said (after a song was done) that the drummer had dropped his sticks 3 times, probably without us noticing (which was true), so you might be right But why exactly?

by the way,

They've got their album on the Luisterpaal again
(linked to that website before -> http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/index.jsp click on the pic with all the albums or on 'Luisterpaal' at the navigationbar on top).
Right now, a top 12 of (all Dutch) bands have their albums online, where you can listen to them from beginning to end. (and if you feel like laughing, you might even find some Dutch rap in there too )

And that's as far as I help you pimp them
Not even a fan, lol

I saw them live 12 times now and I have to admit that they sound better live than they do on the album. I saw them on Lowlands too and even though that was not a bad show it really wasn't one of their best shows either. Saw them yesterday in Veldhoven again and that show was amazing. Tjeerd started playing his guitar with a wine bottle.. that was pretty weird lol.. It took me awhile to get into them but after a few shows I was sold anyway.

Joppe plays the drums unlike anyone I have ever seen. And I go to a lot of concerts lol, so I saw quite a few. He can play anything on the drums and he can have a serious conversation while doing it.. he can also play drum parts with one drum stick that others need two for.. well.. actually you should just see it for yourself. And yeah.. he dropped his sticks a few times then.. could see it pretty good.. when he tossed one to me it didn't reach but I got it afterwards lol..

Chemical Push, Porn, Shut Up And Dance & Dazzled Kids are probably their best songs.. and Kickback is pretty good too..
