about
Another "Eindhoven Rockcity" band: 'bakkebaard' means "sideburn" in English. Their play is energetic, adventurous and passionate. They sing in several languages, mostly Bollocks. The band describe their music as: 1) Filthy pop 2) Far from perfect 3) Never smooth. Rough around the edges. 4) Throw a groove in here and there, albeit a strange one 5) Comparisons? Difficult to find - Tom Waits' great grandfather perhaps? Or a long lost cousin of Tom Barman? An estranged in-law of G-Love? 6) Theme? Line? Concept? Idea? 7) Aaaaah! 8) Impulsive but no ‘noodling’ - that’s for jazz sycophants. And no ‘improvisation’ – that’s for conservatorium students. 9) In your face, rugged but intelligent (just). 10) Atmosphere? Nightclub. One of those sleazy red-light district arrangements. The bar man misses a front-tooth and the door guy has only three fingers on his left hand. That's it. Oh, wait, it's not. Stuurbaard Bakkebaard used to be a duo, then a three-piece, then a four-piece with DJ DNA, but nowadays it's the good old three-piece again: Marc Koppen Timo van Veen Onno Kortland Thank you.
