Malignity (Woerden/Gouda), live on air.
Recorded: Friday November 25th 2016, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Black Ghost Horse/Damiën/Cry For The Van Queen/Immortal Hate/Blood Lust.

Note: revamping the ‘Doorgeplugd’ concept, studioboss John challemged me, by proposing this 5 piece Heavy Metal band. Challenge accepted! Which turned ouit great, with making funny faces throughout the set, trying to make others laugh and intense, focused music throughout the set. During the show, the premiered two prerecorded tracks, of which one was an impromptu decision. Two days later, I still suffered from painfull belly muscles from laughing.

Out Alive, 'Live On Air' Friday June 29th 2012.

Out Alive (Zoetermeer/The Hague), live on air.
Recorded: June 29th 2012, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Start Again/Out Of My Head/Being Lost.

Note: Winner of the 2012 edition of ‘Grote Prijs van het Groene Hart’ contest, co-organized by ‘Plug Unit’, so therefor invited to appear in a ‘Doorgeplugd’ episode. Young enthousiastic band, who know what they want. Played three nice acoustic tracks, with powerfull vocals. Slightly chaotic technical lay-out, as the band came in the studio after kickoff, due to traffic jams and parking at the outer end of center.

Malignity 'Live On Air', Friday March 30th 2012

Malignity (Woerden/Utrecht), live on air.
Recorded: March 30th 2012, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: The Promise.

Note: Deathmetalband, recording at ‘Doorgeplugd’-partner ‘Plug Unit’ from Reeuwijk, dropped by for a chat and a spin of their new EP ‘The Promise’. As an extra bonus, they played an acoustic grunted version of the title track. Never done before, but grandly executed!

Volhardt, Friday August 26th 2011.

Volhardt (Bodegraven), live on air.
Recorded: August 26th 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Jij Hoort Bij Mij/Ga Zoek En Beleef/Iedereen Is Van De Wereld

Note: Ofcourse you need to check your gear, especially when others use it as. On the other hand, rule number one is to leave the radiostudio fully functioning, the way you found it, when you came in. Alas, rushing times, so when the show was already running, I discovered a previous user switched of 5 of 6 mike-channels in use, by switching off tipswitches no one had ever used before. Panic and mayhem, but we regripped ourselves during the second attempt of ‘Jij Hoort Bij Mij’, ending the night with quite a nice set of harmony vocals over an acoustic guitar by this Dutch languaged rockband, that is gradualy, but certainly climbing the stairs of succes.

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.

Velvet Lane, January 27th 2006.

Velvet Lane (Gouda/Haastrecht/Rotterdam/Waddinxveen), live on air.
Recorded: January 27th 2006. Studio 2.
Tracks: Get By/Nothing To Say/Sane Insanity.

Note: Local rockband dropped by during an edition of ‘Doorgeplugd’ to play some songs live during the interview. They were still inbetween recordings and wanted to play some new stuff. Which happened in a slightly loose and euphoric performance.

Velvet Lane, May 24th 2008.

Velvet Lane (Gouda/Haastrecht/Rotterdam/Utrecht), live on air.
Recorded: May 24th 2008. Studio 2.
Tracks: Paradise/Go Ahead/Old Faces/Get By.

Note: Local Pop/Rockband and regulars on the show, dropped by for an interview and some acoustic tracks, just to inform everybody about what they were up to lately.

Evacuaded (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Haastrecht), live on air.
Recorded: August 28th 2008. Studio 2.
Tracks: Confused/ I Know.

Note: Local young rockband, connected to ‘Gouda Rockschool’. As part of ‘Doorgeplugd’ and running up to their performance during ‘Spieringpop’-festival two weeks later, they dropped by for a pre-recorded appearance the night before. Not having a demo yet, they played these two songs. Not being too good in English, they made several mistakes in grammar and in words. Hence the name of the band.

Note: although not the soberest people in the world when starting recording 'Loser', they succeeded in laying down one of the most memorable tracks of all sessions. Undoubtedly the most aired track of any session and regularly aired on other programs as well (With me present as a guest ofcourse!).

First Broadcast: October 27th 2000.
Tracks: Mountains Of Zoom/Monstrueux Rarité/Monstertruck (Acoustic Version).

Note: One of only two sessions, of which the included interview was NOT broadcast. Due to technical problems, as some members of the band preferred to join in with the interview running around the studio and screaming both into the mike and against the walls on the other side of the room. Merely due to the happy and chaotic moods in the band and forcing them to perform acoustic, which they never did before!

'Doorgeplugd' Session 1: Collin

Between September 2000 and December 2001, a set of sessions was recorded live and produced by John Radersma, owner of recording- and rehearsal studio ‘Plug Unit’ in Reeuwijk, Holland.

Collin (Gouda, Reeuwijk).
Recorded August 30th 2000.
First Broadcast: September 29th 2000.
Tracks: Sad/Swallow/Filter.

Note: Only the singer and guitarist were present during this acoustic session. 'Sad' is a rough mix-version of a session used for a low-profile promo. Members of the band '3 AM' were invited to act as audience, to give the session a bit of a' live'-feel. This idea was abandonned after this session and never used again. As was the intro they recorded for this broadcast, containing the words ‘Going Underground’ and ‘Doorgeplugd’.
