The idea arose after 20 years of performing in the cover circuit, and the meeting of Brian Frasier-Moore (drummer of: Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake). A cover band with the same vision, and appearance as the great American shows from the likes of Rihanna, Usher and Justin Timberlake.

The idea began in 2006 and in 2008 the raw/first version of Kinda Black jumped on stage. But was nowhere near what it later would be. For 4 years, the project stopped, but in 2012 the idea was converted in actual act with the necessary auditions, rejections, criticism but also many words of praise.
After a year and a half of auditions, Kinda Black for the first time entered the studio .... ready for a journey with love, passion, determination, vision and musicality. After a number of months rehearsing they finally gained a dance crew conducted by choreographer: Ruben "Chi" Verhoeven.
The repertoire is ready, the show created so it is time to perform! ... Kinda BLack would like to see you on one of the concerts.

Kingsley is an energetic, experienced and versatile coverband. Over the past few years have they proven themselves in the bigger pubs and music bars in the country, and with the same ease they use their enthusiasm for company events and the regional Village Festivals. Small, large or mega, the men of Kingsley don’t care.

With a versatile repertoire, Kingsley can always respond to what the audience likes. Thus, they are not only familiar with the best hits of now, but there are also many timeless classics (in some cases translated into cool medleys) on the setlist. To give you an idea, Kingsley plays from AC/DC to Bruno Mars, via Armin van Buuren to U2, Kensington and Jesse J: the music of Kingsley is characterized by a surprising diversity. The repertoire has one thing in common: the public goes all the way.

The perfect way to get the evening started. Koeks, an international, but typically local artist that play accoustic versions of well known rock standards, will put you in just the right mood.

Arjen Koeks has played with his band Spit countless times before in The Waterhole. What’s more, this notorious cover band has been a fan favourite for years now. Frequent visitors and an ever-growing fanbase has seen them perform right here. Tonight, it’s time to take it down slightly.

Komen lopen ("Came Walking") is unique! Only one double bass, one guitar, one drum and three voices. That's all the three brothers Ruud, Wijnand and Maarten van der Meer need, to make the insanely happen.

In the past years, they developed into a strong acoustic cover band: hundreds of gigs of America, non-obvious repertoire and a delightful, disarming presentation ... Let yourself be surprised and come running!

Krack is an Amsterdam based coverband, which consists of Ivar Jepma (vocals), Elmar Krack (guitar and vocals), Jan Rube (guitar), Tim van Drunen (bass) and Silvan Boer (drums).

They play rock and up-tempo indiepop. Krack was founded in 2000. Before that time, Silvan and Ivar were part of the same college band, and played a lot of show in and around Amsterdam. When the group split up in 2004, they kept in touch, which resulted in a comeback in 2005. Krack is now not only a band, but a group of friends as well.

The boys were formed in Sep 18, and released their first track ‘Taking Me Over’ in February of this year ... the track received praise from Absolute Radios Pete Donaldson and Radio X’ Gordon Smart.

The boys first gig at The Good Mixer in Camden in April followed ~ and went down a storm. The place was packed to the rafters and the crowd were singing the boys tune back to them.

The lads are coming off the back of a double release ‘See The Sun’ and ‘MSI’ ~ which was a return to the idea of B sides from yesteryear.

The lads wanted to give their fans more food for thought and give them a surprise bonus track as a thank you for their support.

The boys returned to solidify their support on a local level by selling out the The Dublin Castle in Camden on the 24/5/19 (only their second show - and were the first band since ‘Madness’ in the 80s to be offered a residency there) - the chaps returning to the studio in July and are set to play the following gigs:

22/7/19 - The Waterhole in Amsterdam

16/8/19 - 229 Great Portland Street ~

After that the plan is to head to Liverpool, Manchester, and Leeds in September.

The boys musical influences range from Oasis, and The Brian Jones Town Massacre and from Pink Floyd to Weekend Offender

Lake Michigan is a Haarlem based Country/Americana band. Inspired by the sound of Nashville, they perform their own songs with loads of vocal harmonies.

Lake Michigan has set the course. Inspired by Zac Brown Band, Jason Isbell & Kacey Musgraves they come up with a backpack full of songs to occupy their own place in the Americana scene. The singing together enriches the narrative texts that are brought with full conviction. Expect the music to be a vintage sound with pop elements that is brought to live with a lot of fun
