DUTCH ARTISTS PLAYING AT POPKOMM AND REEPERBAHN FESTIVAL 2006 RACOON

PETER PAN SPEEDROCK

You gotta say yes to another excess! Peter Pan Speedrock certainly do. Hailing from (Rock City), this powerhouse of a trio play su- per-fast maximum rock’n’roll. They’ve been compared to bands such as Nashville Pussy, Motorhead, The Hellacopters, and Gluecifer, but Peter Pan Speedrock force others to play by their rules. The group is known for their spectacular live shows but for your daily dose of rock excess you can pick up their latest Spread Eagle, a beast of an album. www.peterpanspeedrock.nl PHOTO MAURITS GIESEN

Sometimes justice does exist. At least, that’s what you think when you hear that Racoon was dropped by their record label after two fine releases which sold quite well, but not enough for their major label. The band decided not to give up and concentrated on writing new songs, and it paid off, as the album ‘ Another Day’ proved. With the romantic and soothing single Love You More Racoon made a huge comeback and became more successful than ever before, resulting in massive album sales and a place on the main stage of Holland’s biggest music festival Pinkpop. Just wait until the rest of the world discovers them… www.racoon.nl PHOTO RENÉ DAMKOT KRAAK & SMAAK

When the lads across the Chan- nel are enthousiastic about something not-British, it’s time to take notice. The Hague’s Kraak & Smaak got the buzz go- ing with their first 12”’s and is a true favourite of dance/funk- lovers across Europe, thanks to their sizzling debutalbum Boogie Angst. The trio is even more energetic onstage, where they are often accompanied by a horn section and various guests, including a breakdancer and DJ. The English have already nick- named the trio Crack & Smack, and that tells also something about the addictiveness of this band. www.kraaksmaak.nl www.dutchsound.nl | september 2006  DUTCH ARTISTS PLAYING AT POPKOMM & REEPERBAHN

BLUES BROTHER CASTRO

LEGOWELT Blues Brother Castro has often been called the hardest working band in Holland. They recently released their first single and video for the song Drunken Boy off the Money Maker Me-album. Having played across Europe and the US on various occasions BBC is emerging on the in- ternational music-scene. No wonder they named their second album ‘Fun’, because they are certainly having a lot of it-taking their Pixies- like sound with them on the way. www.bluesbrothercastro.nl

Calexico meets Zita Swoon, but then in an incomparable style that defies categorizing. From 1996, they played all over Europe, including support in 2004 for Norway’s Kaisers Orchestra, and did a South African tour. The album Whistle Dixie is released in 2005, while Stuurbaard Bakkebaard also did support shows in Holland for G-Love & Special Sauce and got invited to the Popup Musikmesse in Leipzig. www.stuurbaardbakkebaard.nl

Green Lizard > More Than You Deserve > Walk over Water EMI Music Netherlands Endewerf Management | [email protected] | www.green-lizard.com [email protected] www.anouk.com Born in The Hague in 1975, Anouk is truly a Dutch diva. Known for her ex- plosive live performances, on stage she’s a maelstrom of blonde hair and attitude easily managing to out-rock her male band. Right from the start her powerful voice and matching personality made people sit up and take notice. Her first serious steps on the musical ladder started back in 1996, when she was invited to support fellow rock legends Golden Earring. 1997 sees the release of her debut single ‘Nobody’s Wife’ which goes platinum in Holland, Sweden and Norway. From then on it’s straight to the top; the following years she clocks up numerous awards and accolades including an Edison for Best National Singer, TMF Awards, performances at major European festivals and a Golden Harp in 2003. ‘Hotel New York’, her lat- est album released in 2004, sees the singer explore , funk and soul styles. Spawning a string of hit singles, the album went gold after just one week. It seems the golden girl can do no wrong. No wonder her fellow musician husband, Postman asked her to sing almost all of the backing vocals on his reggae/rap album ‘Green’.

Green Lizard is a well established Dutch band. After having their first EP produced by Jack Endino, they made two albums for and toured all over the world for bigger and bigger audiences. They played the Vans World Tour in 2003/2004, and after that opened for bands like The Rasmus and Living Colour. ‘Las Armas Del Silencio’ is the name of their third album and was mixed by Clif Norrell (No Doubt, Faith No More) and released by I Scream Records. They are already popular in France and also played at this year’s .

6. Johan > She’s Got A Way With Men Excelsior Recordings | [email protected] | www.johan4all.com One of Netherlands’ best secrets is Johan, the band of singer/songwriter Jacco de Greeuw. Many Dutch music lovers cheered when they heard Johan was to release a new album this year, THX JHN. Jacco de Greeuw knows the less sunny side of life, which enables him to write perfect popsongs with a melancholy touch, but also prevents him from releasing them too often which resulted in five long years between the second album Pergola and THX JHN and between the debut and Pergola. The self titled debut album even got a release in the US, but not in Argentina. Reason enough for an Argentinian fan to travel more than 10.000 miles to see her favourite band live. Fortunately you don’t have to travel that far, as Johan is more than happy to undertake on a European trek.
