about
Arrows Made of Desire revolves around frontman and multi-instrumentalist Joewi Verhoeven. As the son of a Dutch food-supplier father and a Chinese writer mother, Joewi (pronounced "Joo-ee" for those English speakers) began writing songs on piano and guitar at the ripe old age of 15 while growing up in the small Dutch town of Zeeland. Upon graduating high school he packed up and caught the first flight to Beijing, where he began recording under the name Arrows Made of Desire. Arrows' first release was titled Songs That Sell Fish, a DIY Lo-Fi record Joewi made in his bedroom with an 8-track recorder. Local indie label Tag Team Records signed the band after hearing the recordings. In 2009, they released their follow-up Songs That Sell Out, a full length recorded at Sweet Factory Studios in Beijing. In 2010 they released an EP titled Warriors & Worriers on cassette. In 2011, Joewi released his solo album, titled Joewi, which can be downloaded here: http://joewi.bandcamp.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
