Lame Art - Unreleased Demo (2000).
Recorded: January 7th & 28th 2000. Casimir Primary School, Gouda, by Ton Dekker & myself.
Mix: 13 & 28 january 2000.
Tracks: After The Bomb/Disfiction/True Love Regardless/Catch The Sun/Las Vegas/Duco’s Waking Nights/My Sister Dead In The Sea.
Note: The songs were recorded live on 8-track Minidisc recorder, with vocals overdubbed. The first mixes were rejected, as the vocals were mixed too loud. The second mix, with a vocal-overdub by Michiel, was better balanced, but rejected later as it didn’t capture the atmosphere. A second version of ‘My Sister’ was never mixed, as it broke down.

Lame Art - '4-Tracks' (Demo, 2001).
Note: with new material written, but no recordings available, the band asked me to make 4 track recordings in their rehearsal room. The first session was rejected, so a second one was done a month later. Several CD’s were burnt and send to stages and organisations, while the band used them to prepare for proper studio recordings.
Recorded: November 3rd 2000. ‘Plug Unit’, Reeuwijk.
Tracks: Got A Ticket To Ride?/Rush (As She Walked Through The Door)/Opened Or Closed/Your Song.
Note: Recorded on 4-track: first the backing-track and then, separately, the vocals. This first session was rejected and used to improve songs and performance. An additional session was recorded December 6th.
Recorded: december 6th 2000. ‘Plug Unit’, Reeuwijk.
Tracks: Got A Ticket To Ride?/Rush (As She Walked Through The Door)/Your Song/Plans.
Note: Recorded on 4-track: first the backing-track and then, separately, the vocals. This session was done after the band decided to reject the results of a session done November 13th 2000. The tracks from this session were used as a promo to get some gigs and as pre-production for the ‘Spanks Man’ demo. Stubborn as the band was, they used a cassette-copy of these recordings to burn the promo-CD’s, rather than taking them off the digital master directly!

Angel of the Underground - Unreleased Demo (1998).
Recorded: January 26th 1998, ‘Popcollectief’ Gouda.
Unreleased.
Tracks: A Whole Lot More/Phonecall Song (A.k.a. Stormy Weather)/Happy Housewife Heroine/Riot Grrrl/Riot Amps
Note: quite relaxed session, which started by cleaning the separating window between the studio and the control room. Which took a while! ‘Stormy Weather’ was called ‘Phonecall Song’ at that time, as I managed to fuck up the vocal sound of that song during test-sessions taped October 10th 1997. During that same session ‘Riot Amps’ came to light during a jam. It was used as a showstopper for a short while. Right after this session singer Ilse was struck by Pfeiffer, giving her enough time to play the recordings and realise, the tracks needed more work. So these recordings were vaulted. Out-takes do exist, but info is currently not available.

Note: The demotracks were recorded live, to catch the right vibe. From several takes, the best ones were picked for the demo. The other session-tracks on the take are ‘one-takers’: to record the song for themselves. All tracks were recorded live through a mixer, during a killing, 8 hour session, on which I got worse and worse from flu, while singer Michiel drank some kind of witch-brew, to keep his sore throath under control. The live-tracks were recorded at ‘LVC’ Leiden, June 6th 1998 by ‘Popunie’, while the last two tracks come from a rehearsal-recording, made at their school October 10th 1997.

Annual Women Conference - Unreleased Demo (1998)
Recorded: June 5th 1998, ‘Popcollectief’ Gouda.
Unreleased.
Tracks:Vanity/Havana/Reefer/Teen Nation.
Note: Recorded live onto Minidisc, using a very old mixing desk during an 8 hour session, of which only two hours were used. The band took lengthy breaks in parts for lunch and spent much time talking. Initial idea was to put backing vocals over ‘Havana’ (by Ilse of ‘Angel of the Underground’), by feeding the track back to the mixing desk, using a portable minidisc-player.. After recording, it was discovered, there was no way we could get the sound of the portable minidisc player back into the mixing desk, so the backing vocals were abandonned. Internal tensions caused the band to split, leaving this demo unreleased.

Not released.
Tracks: Miss Understood/Sister, Sister/Happy Housewife Heroine/The 2Of U/The Muse.
Note: recorded to serve as pre-production demos for their proper demosession at ‘Excess Studios’ in Rotterdam on November 14th/15th 1998.

Co-9 - Back Against The Wall (Demo, 1999).
Recorded: October 17th 1998, ‘Popcollectief’ Gouda.
Released: December 1998.
Copies: 200 tapes (Approx).
Tracks: Intro/Back Against The Wall/Disagree/It’s On Yourself/Did It To Me/Axept The Difference/Lies.
Note: recorded live onto minidisc. Initial idea was to use a splitter at the guitar and feed the sound through two different amplifiers, which, miked separately, created a bigger sound than using one guitar only. After setting the switches, a loud crackle came from the sperakers. This was the sound of the very old mixing desk breaking down, resulting in perfect mono to come from it since. As everything was set to go, the band proceeded with the session, of which no further out-takes have been saved.

Note: recorded and mixed in two days by Dennis Leidelmeijer, Hans Pieters, the band and myself.

Rinske van Popta - School Audition Demo (1999)
Note: ’Lame Art’ bassplayer and singer Rinske wanted to enter a school in Hilversum, which trained people in the fields of Music, Production and Management. To get there, she needed a demo and asked me to help her making one. I agreed and we set to work between December 14th 1998 – January 11th 1999. We recorded at the radio studio, my place and her bedroom, to produce three different tracks: a studio, a sampled and an improvised one. After these sessions a live recording of ‘Smart’, a band she doubled with, was added to the demo and send in. She made it and started her education september 1999, dropping out 10 months later, as she got fed up with 4 months of producing Sinusses on a computer.
Recorded: December 14th 1998, ‘Gouwestad Radio’ Studio 1, Gouda.
Track: Catch The Sun (Acoustic).
Note: after recording the basics of the song on a reel taperecorder, this was fed through the mixing desk again, with Rinske adding a second guitarline. This was recorded onto minidisc. The undubbed version has survived as well.
Recorded: December 16th 1998 – January 8th 1999, Leo’s appartment, Gouda.
Track: Silly Mix.
Note: a simple, but effective cut’n’paste piece of work, adding various samples and rhythms to a full track. Masterminded by Rinske and engineered and produced by Leo. It wasn’t great, but enough to convince the teachers.
recorded: January 11h 1999, Home recording, Gouda.
Track: Jembé Jam.
Note: recorded live in her bedroom, with help from her friend Lenneke on Djembé. Initial idea, using flutes, was abandonned as they couldn’t stop laughing. Two takes were taped, after which a big crack was discovered in the ceiling of the livingroom.

Elysium - 'Error To Emptiness' (Demo, 2000)
Recorded: November 2nd 1999.
Released: Januari 1st 2000.
Copies: unknown amount of self produced CD’s.
Tracks: Atlantis/Sniper/Silence/Unrevealed/Stranger’s End/A Thousand ShaRves (47368).
Note: struck by the demo I recorded with ‘Lame Art’ the previous year, ‘Elysium’ was very eager to record with me. The demo was recorded live onto minidisc. As the mixing desk was mono after internal breakdowns, I found the subchannels still intact. I made the mix using these subchannels and connecting their outputs through a 4 track Tascam recorder for the stereo mix, which was then fed to a minidisc recorder. The session was intense and withdrawn at the same time. Various out-takes were recorded, but none of them ended up in my archive, unfortunately.

Note: after the interview, the singer was so stunned about the recorder I used (a very beaten up Marantz cassetterecorder), he immediately offered me the chance to record the gig as well. Not in for declining such an offer, I accepted, but changed the recorder for a Minidisc recorder I brought along, preparing for the ‘Coco Rosie’-interview, scheduled for the next day (I still hadn’t bought an iPod or MP3 player). Before the gig, the MD-recorder was plugged onto the soundboard, enabling me to make the recording. I missed the encore, as I had to leave before that to catch the last train home.

Notes: Soundboard-recording given to me by guitarist Mark Tilstra for being such a dedicated fan (and bringing along a bottle of fine 'Moskovskaya' wodka). Despite 'The Rolling Stones'playing in nearby Rotterdam, the venue was packed! Part of the gig was disturbed by some very annoying skinheads, which later on gave birth to some 'heroic stories on fights'. There wasn't a single one! Most of the 200 people present were too eager to see the gig, while the rest was too scared to fight. Marcello from 'So What' convinced the three skins to leave the club peacefully by plain talking. This incident explains the extended encore the band gave this evening.

Notes: started in 1989, from the ashes of recently revived ‘The Unexplained. The band played 1965 Garagebeat-inspired songs, which were put out on several 7”s and a vinyl-album. This night hoewever, they played loads of ‘Who’-covers, as they were in the middle of a European tour, performing ‘Tommy’ in a set, inspired by the ‘Live At Leeds’ album. The gig started unannounced and unplanned, making me miss the start of ‘Heaven And Hell’. As the liveshow had two more records scheduled, the liveset was already started, when it was put on air. Due to a problem, the PA was switched to MONO-sound, making the two venue-mikes adding a slight stereo-feel to the recordings.

Notes: This was a regional musical contest for students from secondary schools in the area, organized as part of promotional activities to boost up the amount of readers for regional daily newspaper de 'Goudsche Courant'. Acts from 6 schools sang, danced or played classical music to win a prize. 'Temporary' won.
Initial recordings were made and mixed on 4-tracks for broadcast purposes, but as there was anti-phasis and other distorting noise, theatre-technician Dennis van Driel was asked to provide us his 24-tracks recorded 'works' for further broadcasting purposes. These were first aired Friday November 21st by 'Going Underground' and 'Why You', skipping the dance-acts, as these simply don't have any succes on radio, unfortunately.
Of the 4-track recordings only 'Temporary' and 'Desiree Coumans' survived, as the recordings provided by Dennis made the others not interesting enough to be kept and the Minidisc was erased. A tape-copy of these recordings however is in possesion of the editorial crew of the 'Goudsche Courant', as it was 'flash-crashed' onto their desks October 10th as 'on the cuff'-mix runthrough, 'for quick listening only'!

Friday April 18th 2003, 'So What' Gouda.
Tracks: Una Paloma Blance, Santa Lucia By Night, Little Green Bag and others.
Note: at the last moment the soundman of George Baker installed his own equipment, bypassing the venue's PA-system, so the whole gig was recorded through two mikes in the hall, making a lesser quality. Left in the vault, untill decision was to be made on broadcasting. The tapes somehow got accidentally wiped.

Note: final tour, with 5 dates left to play. It was hot, but great! The band enjoyed themselves possibly even more than the festive audience, leading to some silly intermissions near the end. As the band hit the stage, I had to run to my equipment, missed a step and landed flat on my face in front of the stage.

Tracks: Tell Me What's New/Missionairy Girl/Members In Water/On Your Own/Where Have I Been?/Wrong Come Along/Caroline/Just Another Daytime/When The Day Is Over/("Audience")/Unknown/Rain, Rain/Unknown.
Note: emotionally loaded gig, as few weeks before Mariëlla de Geus, musician and frequently visiting the club, was murdered. ‘Rain’ was dedicated to her, during this explosive gig. Which started peculiar; after announcing the band, they hit the stage, realised the had forgotten a harmonica and left for the dressing room again. The bottle of whiskey they drank before the gig, wasn’t the cause, they repeatedly expressed afterwards! Before the gig ended, the live broadcast was over and the radioset got dismatled. At the end you literally hear the plugd being pulled out off my recorder! Final gig for this band as a trio, as members of ‘Sway’ came to this gig to try and convince singer Maurits to join them. Maurits auditionned, but was deemed ‘not good enough’. ‘Mint’-drummer Edwin auditionned too and made it. This fuelled internal tensions, making Edwin to leave soon after. ‘Mint’ continued as an acoustic duo for several gigs, playing their final one April 30th 2002.

Note: as part of the ‘Oktoberfeste’, this German Hammond-wizzard was invited to play. The venue was packed with partying people, making it a great event. The mikes used to pick up the venue-sound weren't functionning, so only the soundboard-track was recorded, missing part of the fun that was going on. After mixing, the tape got lost for months, finally resurfacing april 2003.

In exchange for access and recording, I had to play Deejay as well.

Note: final hometown-gig of the band. Though slightly chaotic, the band played a great gig and had a party, playing home again.

Note: right after the release of their ‘Spanks Man’ EP, the band played a slightly experimental set, inspired hugely by ‘O.K. Computer’ of ‘Radiohead’. It turned out to be their final hometown-gig before reforming as 'Clockwork' in different line-up.
Mint (Gouda, Londen).
Tracks: Intro/Just Another Daytime/Rain/Caroline/Tell Me What's New/Monday To Monday/Members In Water/On Your Own/When The Day Is Over/Wrong Come Along/Where Have I Been.
Note: after the gig, the band was told by ‘indicate’ bassplayer, they sucked. Which the band heard, shrugging their shoulders afterwards. An unknown quantity of CD’s with these recordings were sold by the band. Which I never knew. Singer Maurits later became frontman of Utrecht based ‘Gem’.
'State-X'-Festival - 'Korzo Theatre' Den Haag, May 5th 2001.
'State-X'-festival.
Saturday May 5th 2001, 'Korzo' Theatre The Hague.
Note: this was the first edition of this Festival, few years before it merged with the ‘New Forms’ Festival. Organised by a.o. a former classmate, I joined in withy the fun to make recordings of ‘The Ex’ and ‘Feverdream’. Learnt a lot about hardware to be taken with me next time.
The Ex (Amsterdam/Wormer).
Tracks: Burnsome/Fistfull Of Feed/The Chair Needs Paint/Town Of Stone/Haydays/Oskar Beck/Submarines/Karaoke Blackout/Time Flies/River/Spruitjes/Stupid Competitions/Lump Sum Insomnia.
Note: due to a faulty cable from the PA, the recording is made in anti-phasis, which means that one signal is minus to the other. When played MONO, the soundboard-signal will vanish, leaving just the venue-sound, which is hollow. This was only discovered AFTER broadcasting.
Incense (Delft/Den Haag/Rotterdam).
Tracks: The whole set consisted of 38 minutes of improvisation in 3 parts.
Notes: as the organisation wasn't fully prepared for me making recordings, the necessary Soundboard-output wasn't available, leaving just two mikes in the back of the small hall available for recording. As the improvised pieces proved interesting, though not quite suitable for broadcasting-purposes, nothing will be done with them anyway, so no harm done. One small bit of the performance is missing though, due to the inevitable tape-change.

The soundman never knew what hit him. The loudest and heaviest band ever programmed during the live-show.

Note: as most of the bands played covers, I decided to tape the first 25 minutes of every gig only, except for the headliner on the second night, which I got complete.

'Lentepop 2000' Festival - Gouda, May 27th 2000.
Lentepop 2000'-festival, Gouda. 2-track recorded from 4-track premix-signal.
Saturday May 27th 2000, 'Lentepop 2000'-Festival Gouda.
Note: To capture most of the festival, a CD-recorded recorded the stereo pre-mix I made with my 4-track recorder directly onto CD’s. During the first songs the organiser, who owned the recorder, paused inbetween tracks. This resulted not only in intermitted recordings, but, as the guy was having conversations at the same time, missing parts of songs as well. Later on, he was too involved with other things, so the Cd was left running from end to start. After the festival, the CD’s vanished, untill summer 2003, whewn all but one (‘Aeolus’) re-appeared. They’re now in my archive.
Aqualung (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Jesus Saved Me/Locomotive Breath/To Cry You A Song/Aqualung.

Tracks: The Rib-Off/Christian Grandma/Monstertruck/Demon/Gunslinger/Mr Lee.
Note: slightly chaotic, but nevertheless quite intriguing performance by this ‘Blender-rock’group, blending various styles together to one specfic ‘cut-n-Paste’style.
Scent Of Incense (Gouda).
Tracks: Dreaming/Fantasy/Addition/Perfect Girl.
Note: this gig was cut short, as the band took their instruments on stage directly from the warm dressing room. As it was cold and windy, they de-tuned during the first two songs. After a 15 minute break, it was decided to play one more song. I thought I’d recorded the complete gig on 4-tracks on request of the band, but discovered it was also captured on CD.
3 AM (Gouda).
Tracks: Song/Fit For Life/Get To You/To Match Her/The Pain (?)/Why?/Hedonism/With Or Without.
Note: one of very few gigs by this band, which rose from the ashes of ‘After Dark’ and at that time freshly disbanded ‘Gandillion’.
Little Wing (Moordrecht/Gouda).
Tracks: Wasted/Fire/Get Back To You/Are You Gonna Go My Way?/Steal Away/Frozen Rainbow/Snowblind/Gangland/Breaking The Law.
Note: band from organising crew, playing covers and showing off on stage. Ironically this Cd got processed faulty in he recorder, so can’t be played in normal way.
Big Deal (Gouda/Reeuwijk).
Tracks: Hush/Party Town/No Mans Land/Right Here/Matopos/Don't Stop Me Now/Jump.
Note: coverband, managed by one of the organisers for a short while. Released a self-penned CD few years later.
Aces (Gouda).
Tracks: Intro/Death/Come Back/Walls Of Ebony/Master Of Puppets/Aces/Court Deny(?).
Note: Last gig with founding guitarist Edwin, who died Jan. 4th 2001 on complications of diabetes. The band didn’t know their gig got recorded, so were in quite a shock, when they got word from it.
Slang Dang (Gouda/Haasstrecht).
Tracks: Loser/Pretty Little Girl/Hey You Say/Small Place/ Mercy/Slang Dang Fever/Cafe/Hell Of A Party.
Note: the band had so much fun, they wanted to play along. The discussion and attempt they did, was captured as well.
Aeolus (Gouda/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Vicious Circle/Anonymous Embrace/Come Here My Love/Dust On The Mirror/Forbidden City
Note: Debut performance of this Prog Rock band. As the recording quality was way under the bands’ standards, they refused to release the recording master. Got a copy from their former singer in 2004, completing the set of recordings, plus this information.
Travis Walk (Gouda/Den Haag).
Tracks: Intro/Texas Flood/Get Me A Bug/Love Struck Baby/Little Lover Boy/600 Blues/Close To You.
Note: well oiled machine, playing stampin’ blues. Few years later the band played their final gig at the same festival, as the singer decided to dedicate all of his time to the career of his wife, Dutch pornstar Kim Holland.
Blind Justice (Gouda/Rotterdam).
Tracks: Intro/Bloed Uit Je Oren/In Equilibrium/Coming Home/Lost In All/Cage Of Fear/Life Is Bitter, Life Is Sweet/Short Jam 1/Pissed/Weasel/Short Jam 2/Make Me/Outro.
Note: Slightly overloaded recording, thus unfortunately unfit for broadcast. Last gig with drummer Andre Borgman, who went over to 'After Forever'. Seemingly last gig with their soundman as well, I understood later on, as he overloaded volumes at every gig.
Saturday May 27th 2000, 'Lentepop 2000'-Festival Gouda.
Note: To capture most of the festival, a CD-recorded recorded the stereo pre-mix I made with my 4-track recorder directly onto CD’s. During the first songs the organiser, who owned the recorder, paused inbetween tracks. This resulted not only in intermitted recordings, but, as the guy was having conversations at the same time, missing parts of songs as well. Later on, he was too involved with other things, so the Cd was left running from end to start. After the festival, the CD’s vanished, untill summer 2003, whewn all but one (‘Aeolus’) re-appeared. They’re now in my archive.
Aqualung (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Haastrecht).
Tracks: Jesus Saved Me/Locomotive Breath/To Cry You A Song/Aqualung.
Note: Tribute to ‘Jethro Tull’ by local musicians.
Quip! (Gouda/Haastrecht).

Tracks: Soundcheck/ Geendagsvlieg/Chemoderniseerd/Bestrijdt Het Drugsbeleid/ O.P. ge-O.H./Hulp Met Eigen Gevaar/Wat ik Effe Kwijt Wou*.
Note: * Another tape running a bit too short, so this track is incomplete as well. The set itself got killed by overloaded signals from the BJ-soundman overpushing the volumes, though not as bad as the ‘solo’ set by BJ, earlier that night.

Note: a slightly tired or bored OP played a quite uninspired gig, with most of the songs cut short. Much to the disappointment of the fully loaded venue, who came to see them and co-headliners ‘Blind Justice’.

Blind Justice - 'So What' Gouda, May 19th 2000.
Blind Justice (Gouda, Rotterdam), 4-track recorded.
Friday May 19th 2000, 'So What' Gouda.
Note: complete gig was recorded, but as the volumes were extremely loud (138 dB's at certain point), there was too much overload audible on the recording. This night, shared with Dutch Hiphop-crew 'Osdorp Posse', left many attendants with tweeking ears. One song was mixed and broadcasted once, before it was erased again, as agreed with the band. A tape copy was handed over to the band though, so perhaps I can convince trhe singer in digging it up for me one day. A very similar set was played one week later at the 'Lentepop 2000' Festival. See details overthere.

Note: after the third song the soundman took the guitars out of the soundboard, as the amplifiers were louder than the PA itself. As the recording was a mix of the soundboard-signal and two mikes in the venue, the rest of the recordings weren't of broadcast-quality and remain vaulted.

Tracks: Your Natrium Son/Softly Socialized/True Love Regardless/Las Vegas/Landscape Underneath (Taste The Dream).
Note: after two electric sets, the band returned to do an acoustic set, with completely new songs. The venue was used to work with elements and DI’s and got a hard time miking the band. Which is audible, as it rained mikes throughout the gig. During 'Softly Socialized' the soundmen were so occupiewd, they left the vocals switched off, causing this track to be erased for being useless for radio.

Should try and arrange the damn artists to wait, untill this ego is ready to continue recording again, don't you think ???? Right!!

Notes: *Incomplete, because I ran out of tape in the middle of the song (Ofcourse!). Because there was only one microphone-cable available, the venue-sound was recorded on one mono-track only. This turned out their final gig before they split up. In 2002 thet reünited, after causing local band ‘Mint’ to split over borrowing and rejecting members for additional guitar. After rejecting future ‘Gem’-singer Maurits Westerik, they hired drummer Edwin Bol, played one gig and split up forever!

Tracks: Hibernate/Snowball/Metropolis/24 Hours/Hey Susan.
Note: right before the start of the recording, keyboard-player Yuko Murata accidentally knocked over a bottle of beer, which poured into my recorder. After some 'Emergency-dwelling', the gig and recording went ahead. I managed to get everything recorded well, apart from some overloaded vocals at peaks. The machine still runs, but it took 3 months of extensive cleaning to have it online again. But another good thing is, that Yuko, Maz and I are still in touch on a musical base ever since.

Tracks: Impulse/Pointing Finger/Fake Friend/Empty Words/Get Out/Difficult Sincerity/Ape/What Is Human?/T.M.I.M.N./ G.H.C.
Note: hardcoreband from local ‘Green Heart Core’-scene. Made a party where ever they went, making their gigs somewhat messy. Went in the studio right after this gig, recording their demo at night. Which came out quite well. Several members later moved on to bigger bands like ‘Malkovich’ and ‘I Reject’.

Note: Headlining this night, the band was in great shape, delivering one of their best gigs ever. This period is considered their peak. Having the original 4 track tapes stored in my archive, I remixed the gig for a better sound in 2008. Keeping the original mix on cassette in the archive as well, ofcourse.

Tracks: Win Some, Lose Some/Sore Brains/Greed/3 Years/Explain The Way/All The Time/Girl In Pain/Best In The End/Shades/Life During Wartime.
Note: My first ever live-recordings using a 4 track cassetterecorder. As it was new to the venue as well, someone bluntly switched off the mike channels while recording. I made sure he never did this again. Listening back at the mix, I’d probably do it different now, but it’s okay.

As was the intro they recorded for this broadcast, containing the words ‘Going Underground’ and ‘Doorgeplugd’.
