Bands

Krack is een Amsterdamse coverband bestaande uit Ivar Jepma (zang), Elmar Krack (gitaar en zang), Jan Rube (gitaar), Tim van Drunen (bas) en Silvan Boer (drums).

De stijl van de band varieert van rock tot up-tempo indiepop. Krack vindt zijn oorsprong in 2000. Silvan en Jan speelden tijdens hun studententijd in een band met veel optredens in en rond Amsterdam. Deze band viel in begin 2004 uit elkaar. Silvan en Jan hebben echter altijd contact gehouden, met als gevolg dat begin 2005 een doorstart werd gemaakt. Krack is niet alleen een band, maar ook een hechte vriendengroep.

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 heeft de koers gezet. Geïnspireerd door Zac Brown Band, Jason Isbell & Kacey Musgraves komen zij met een rugzak vol liedjes hun eigen plek innemen in de Americana scene. De samenzang verrijkt de verhalende teksten die met volle overtuiging worden gebracht. Verwacht van de muziek een vintage sound met popelementen die live met veel speelplezier over wordt gebracht

Americana / country / folk / roots rock uit Haarlem.

Biografie
Land of Trees, the working name of singer/songwriter Marcus Friman, has a genuine and hope giving tone to his acoustic Indie/Folk.

The band was originally formed as a three-piece featuring Daniel Joona Bergström (drums/percussion and bas) and Pontus Edfeldt Kjellström (banjo & acoustic guitar).

Together with friends they recorded a few songs to release the EP "Patient & Quiet" in early 2016 featuring their most popular song "Get Rid Of Your Ghosts" which has been published by major music blogs such as Wave Of Good Noice, AlexrainbirdMusic and Indie Feed. Later that same year their debut album, Wild Wind, was released as a full album with 10 tracks.

Alongside the creation of Wild Wind the band managed to claim fifth place in a music competition and went on Swedish Radio to compete with their song "Get Rid Of Your Ghosts" in a local radio show resulting in a 1# place three weeks in a row.

In early 2017 the three-piece parted ways, leaving Marcus a solo-working singer/songwriter as he went on to sign with indie record label Rexius Records.
