We’ll be playing The Stage in Arnhem saturday the 28th of January.
Seanpenn and CLAUS will also be playing.

This will be Wouters last show with the band, as he is moving to Germany in februari.
Stuttgart, to be more precise.
We wish him all the best with his molecules and lab work. But before that, he wants to rock you all goodbye.
So! We hope to see you all there the 28th.

Huh? What? You want to play drums with us? Sure, we’re doing auditions right now but there’s always room for more!

Most of the Beneath The Surface songs were actually written on acoustic guitar or piano. Offcourse with electric guitar in mind but still. In their core they can be played with just an acoustic guitar and a vocal.
So when we got the chance to do a few acoustic shows this year we took the challenge.
We brought the songs a little different, we didn’t want to just play our parts acoustic, we wanted to bring something different to the experience.
We got a lot of positive comments from people and people asked us if there was any recorded acoustic material available: there wasn’t.
There is now! We turned my living room into a recording room and did some acoustic songs in a live setting.

We are giving them away for free! Enjoy!
You can download them here: Ongeplukt
