Ammocave (Gouda/Utrecht/Zoetermeer), 4-track recorded.
Friday December 23rd 2005, ‘So What’ Gouda, during ‘De Goudse Afrekening’ live-broadcast.
Tracks: So Long/Half A Lie/Madison Avenue/No More Tricks/Skin & Bones/Jam/Enough/My Own Way/Plastic.
Note: Hardrock, augmented by former ‘Herman Brood’-saxplayer Boris van der Lek. Caused a huge stir, when ‘management’ send in a list of requirements. We neglected them and the rest of the apologising band had a good talk with the manager, as they understood this could very well ruin their chances to gig. Which they did in the end, being one of the loudest acts ever playing the broadcast. As several amps were left out off the PA-signal, the recordings suit their purpose, without being overly Hifi. One of the last gigs with singer Reindert, who was thrown out few months later.

Maggie & The Jar 'In Session', friday August 12th 2016.
Maggie & The Jar (Amsterdam/Gouda), In Session.
Recorded:Friday August 12th 2016, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Half A Heart (Take 1)/What You Want Now/Feel Me/Half A Heart (Take 2).
Note: this female fronted rockband from Amsterdam dropped by the studio for a prerecorded interview and three acoustic songs, prior to their gig in local club ‘Studio Gonz’. First ever acoustic set came out greatly. First sonmg was retaped, as there were a few mistakes. As the whole thing was filmed by the band, a videoclip of ‘Half A Heart’ was published on Youtube the next day, merging images of both takes over the second audio take. Great warming up for the set they played later that night.

Raymond van Kooten, 'In Session' Friday May 3rd 2013.
Raymond van Kooten (Gouda), In Session.
Recorded: May 3rd 2013, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Don’t Call Me Up (TK 1–3)/Sister Morphine (TK 1-2)/Backstreet Girl (TK 1-4)/Can You Hear The Music TK 1-2.
Note: as an addition to another program from the station, it’s guest asked ‘Ammocave’ singer Ray to sing a couple of acoustic cover versions of songs by Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones. We started recording right after my weekly show and produced these four songs, of which in the end only the Jagger song ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ and ‘Backstreet Girl’ were used. All tracks were sung by Ray, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar.

'Ouwe Gouwe' Festival, April 17th 2010.
’Ouwe Gouwe’ Festival 2-track recorded.
Saturday April 17th 2010, ‘So What’ Gouda.
Note: A new, indoor festival, mixing young new bands with more experienced ones and some briefly reüniting for the occasion. I made kind of experimental live-recordings, using a new mixing desk to make my own mix of the unprocessed 14 lines with sounds from the stageblock and recording it on a Flashrecorder directly. Although not perfect, it gave quite usable results. Despite strange things happening, like two signals coming from 4 different lines. Or not at all!! Which meant ‘Plugging by chance’ with every new set! Challenging and frustrating at the same time.
Slice (Of Merlin) (Gouda/Bodegraven/Rotterdam/Oudewater), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Flying Pig/Beware/Boring Day/Roots Under My Feet/Heart Of Darkness/Extatum (Part)/Soft As Water.
Note: One of the local legends, mixing influences like ‘The Doors’ and old ‘Pink Floyd’ to a melodic, multi-layered and inventive sound. Considered by many as their ‘Comeback’-gig, it turned out to be their one-but-last! To the amazement of many, including myself, they announced their swansong for June 4th during this performance. Which got postponed, as their guitarist broke his wrist three days prior to that. Their final, sold out gig was on Saturday November 6th 2010 in local club ‘De Gonz’. ‘Extatum’ was only partially recorded, as their set lasted longer than the space on my flashcard, used for this gig.
Kelvin (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Running Away.
Note: New band from ‘Sportclub De Volharding’ guitarist. Recorded one track only, because I had shortage of memory to get every note by every band. Regrettably.
Quip! (Gouda/Haastrecht/Waddinxveen), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Try My Friends/Too Much Of A Bad Thing/Last Time Bright/Lost In Life.
Note: Shortlived reunion of this Blues-infused slightly psychedelic Rockband, done for the occasion of this festival. Great to see them back on stage for one more time.
Horizon (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Boskoop), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Screaming Out Loud/Can’t You See/Lifestyle.
Note: Information provided to me announced them as a youg coverband, who turned out to play female fronted Rocky pop with some self-penned songs. I captured 2,5 track, after fighting ‘disappeared’ lines, resulting in one of the voices not being fully audible.
Usual Suspects (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Return A Favour/You Can’t Hold Me/I Don’t Know/Runaway/Victim.
Note: Young Rocking Punkband, making their first proper stage-performance.
Slang Dang (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Bodegraven), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Alone/Love/Slang Dang Fever/Café/Hell Of A Party.
Note: Another band that reunited for the festival. Mainly rehearsed drinking beer (as rumour goes), the set was somewhat loose, but nevertheless one of the highlights of this day in my opinion. Truly great to see them back playing their Metalized Funky Bluesrock on stage, since they decided to give it another go after this gig.
Summer Breeze Project (Gouda/Rotterdam/Utrecht/Amsterdam), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Power/In The Meantime/Omerta/Goin’ Down/Master & Servant/PTSD.
Note: Ambitious and quite successful Prog-rockband from the area, played a short, but intense and very concentrated set.
Eve Of Dawn (Gouda/Haastrecht), 2-track recorded.
Tracks:/Welfare State/Unapproachable/Frightened.
Note: Another band that reformed for the festival and decided to give it another go. They played some New Wave infused Alternative Rock.After splitting up in 1995, members emerged in bands like ‘Velvet Lane’, ‘Quip!’ and ‘Mother Of Pearl’. Guitarist Wilbert van Straten used to be a classmate in Secondairy School and had to give up guitarplaying early 1997 due to RSI. But this day he was there again!
Flowdown (Gouda/Bodegraven/Rotterdam/Oudewater), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Another Day/Flying.
Note: Nu-Metallish Grungeband that came to the scene in the early 90’s under the name ‘Conquistador!’. Nearly everything changed from line-up to genre, except for the guitarist. I was only able to record the firstst two tracks of their set, as one of the memorycards used to store the recordings, ran out of space. Alas.
Ammocave (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Magic Anger Blender/Stronger Stuff/Answers/Face The New Moon.
Note: Sort of ‘Comeback’-gig, after being inactive for quite some time, due to several changes of frontmen in the years past. Slightly loose, though reasonable convincing set by the band of one of the Festivals’ instigators!
Poultry (Bodegraven/Reeuwijk/Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Hypocrite/My Friends/Speak Up/Responsability/High Standards/College Years/Kiss Of Betrayal..
Note: Steaming hometown gig by this Punkrock outfit, that’s got their EP out in Japan on a local label. Aired few new tracks that night and served as a perfect warmup for headliner ‘Blind Justice’.
Blind Justice (Rotterdam), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Intro/Stuck In My Mind/Weazel/Brainless/Life Is Bitter/Boulder/Cage Of Fear/Social Failure/Breathe/In Exuilibrium/Are You Different?.
Note: Farewell-gig by this ‘legendary’ Gouda originating Metalband, that started off as a schoolband and made it it to major stages, festivals and TV-shows, both under their own moniker, as in a package with Dutch languaged Hiphop-pioneers ‘Osdorp Posse’. They once appeared on an international Metal-sampler with ‘little known’ bands as ‘Sepultura’! Leaving the ‘bass-in-a-box’ at home, singer/guitarist Attila Szabo switched to bassguitar for the occasion. Playing songs from throughout their career, they said closed the BJ-book, to start writing a new one under the name ‘3AM’ (‘Three Angry Men’). As I ran out of memorycards, the last 40 seconds of ‘Are You Different?’are missing. Alas!

Ammocave, January 24th 2003.
Ammocave (Gouda/Zoetermeer/Utrecht), live on air.
Recorded: January 24th 2003. Studio 2.
Tracks: Across The River (Part, soundcheck)/Skin & Bones/One Of A Kind/Across The River.
Note: Named after the ammunitionbunker they started their rehearsals, this Gouda/Zoetermeer band played hardrock in their highest definition. Not having recent recordings, the band decided to play live acoustic during an episode of ‘Doorgeplugd’. As the singer was late, the rest of the band prepared to play without him, but 15 seconds before the interview started, he turned up! During ‘One Of A Kind’ the guitarist, using a D.I., had switched off the channel to this device, ruining the first part of the song.
