NEW MATERIAL IS COMING UPI!!
Working in the reheasalroom to have a set soon with a lot of new songs. We're jamming and ispiration is flowing! Great! See you soon!

We never were off stage for such a long time, but it feels good. Working on new songs and we have a lot of fun jamming and creating.

After 10 years of non stop playing we needed some time out, and wont play gigs for a while.

Unfortunately we said good bye to Martje and Sarine this summer. Martje will dedicate herself completely to the condervatory. Also for Sarina it didn't work to stay with us. A pity, we could have been great but not meant to be.We are feeling that it is not the siece of the band, but the chemistry and energy that is the most important.

RECORDINGS KEEP MY HEAD HIGH FINISHED ! QUICKLY NEW RECORDINGS ONLINE!

Seemed quiet for a while but the website is updated again.
Yesterday Kyle came by with the recordings. It was totally new for us to let it go completely. Normally we are very involved in mixing and having ideas how we want to sound. This time it was totally in Kyles hands. And he made his version of our song.
Though it is different then what we are used to and would have done ourselves, we still get very cheery listening to the song! It sounds fresh!

Horns are writtten by trompetplayer Martje, saxophone player Patrick en trombone player Onno. Lyrics written by Bibi & Karolien. Stefan put a rough version together with Karolien and together with Venus Hill we made this song. Kyle worked with the recordings.

This song was born when we really had sank low. Halfway 2006 we thought we were ready to go and then Sylvia Robin & Fabrizio quit the band. Sylvia is one of the founders of Venus Hill so it was very hard to swallow. But we dedided not to let our heads hang down!
And so we wrote "Keep my head high" to make a fresh start again!

Thanks Kyle for all your energy and working on it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! AND RECORDINGS WITH KYLE THIS MONTH " KEEP MY HEAD HIGH"


And that we may have a crazy musical and great and fun year!

We are recording a song this month with Kyle Pattridge.

Hij studies in Amsterdam and approached us for a recording. Because of his music taste a.o. Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Streetlife Manifesto we thought it would be a great opportunity to record with our new line-up.

Especially since Keep my head high is also written with and by the "new" line-up.
