Blair Jollands is a compelling singer-songwriter with a 'country and eastern' sound. His compositions are cinematic in scope and call to mind aspects of Nick Cave's songwriting, Bowie's sound and Beck at his heartbroken best. As well as an ear for lush instrumentation, Jollands brings his award-winning sound design skills to his music, incorporating found sounds and samples into his productions. He has previously collaborated with Boy George and The Strokes producer Gordon Raphael, and released albums under his alter ego El Hula. Now, Jollands is preparing to release his most sincere and spellbinding album to date '7 Blood' with releasing a new song every month.
Bloc off the Wall is an allround Partyband with Adam Isaac - finalist of The Voice UK
This energetic band plays a mix of timeless, classic, anthemic pop/rock/dance tunes with a funky twist.
BLOOD FIRE MOON are a three-piece psychedelic rock n’ roll band based in Amsterdam who mix riffs, melodies and mayhem to create a pumped up live performance. Bored by watching some of his favourite bands do bland live-sets and frustrated by the never-ending onslaught of EDM, Rikki Khanna (British/Indian) decided to start a band that would actually be more fun to watch than some bored indie muso or dick of a DJ.
Rikki (vocals, guitars) met South African Ryan Wolters (bass, vocals) in 2015 and decided to blend some of Ryan’s more punk and metal influences with Rikki’s rock n roll and indie background to see where it led them. And led them it did to endless rehearsals in the spit and beer soaked basements of Amsterdam’s Rock Supplies where they were joined by Kiwi drummer and all round musician Tim Hardie. They emerged from the basement to gig around Amsterdam including slots at The Water Hole and hold the dubious honour of being the last band to have played the C&C Muziek Café before the council shut it down.
In 2017 they headed into the studio with Producer Ilan Rom at the controls to record their debut EP featuring 4 of their earliest songs. The ‘Ready to Roll’ EP launched across all digital platforms in September 2017 and the band are busy supporting it with live shows. A full-length album is already composed and the band plans to record and release it in 2018.
Blue Sherlock was born in a piece of trash Toyota Camry on a roadtrip to the middle of nowhere.
A banger was blaring on the radio, Jeremy's hands were going a million miles an hour on the dash while Willem yelled a bit and played air guitar.
“Hey man, we should jam sometime.”
Since then, Willem and Jeremy have been concocting the dirty, delicious, bluesy funk that is Blue Sherlock. Living proof that the Blues is alive, well, and ready to kick your teeth in.
Bob is a band, an excellent band. A band in which the hormones are railing like crazy. As a result, there is a lot of love in this band. The love between the band members shows itself in the great interplay. Everyone is virtuoso on his or her instrument and they will show you.
BoldR plays originals. No covers, no realbook, but selfwritten repertoire that is a crazy mix between jazz and pop. Lead singer Rafael has written the music and plays the guitar. Furthermore, BoldR has the fantastic John Muskiet on bass, Martijn Groen on drums and Guido van den Boom on keys.
In 2017, the first album was released on all streaming services. And there are already 5 new songs in the scaffolding. So it's purr-fect! Quotes: "the whole album has a nice mix between indypop, jazz, funk and fusion, with beautiful soli on guitar and keys". Our graphic designer-by design agency ' Funkfabriek'-calls it "summer jazzy pop with a touch of fusion". Giel Beelen (open stage): "very good and very professional, worthy of radio".
