Velvet Lane, July 1st 2006.

Velvet Lane (Gouda/Haastrecht/Rotterdam/Utrecht), 2-track recorded.
Saturday July 1st 2006, 'Loose End' Reeuwijk.
Tracks: (Unknown)/Seven/Eventually/Sane Insanity/Get By/Something To Say/Vaporized.

Note: Rockband supporting the introduction-gig of ‘Desiree Coumans Band’ on a quite hot evening. The sound was mixed by Dennis van Driel, using some laptops for added effects. I took the stereo PA-signal and fed it through my 4-Track recorder, to capture some venue-sound as well. The stereo-mix was then fed to a portable Minidisc-recorder, making very descent recordings of the gig. Alas things went wrong with the Desiree Coumans recordings, as the disc crashed, while saving data.

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.

Collin - 'So What' Gouda, December 28th 2001.

Collin (Gouda/Haastrecht/Reeuwijk), 4-track recorded.
Friday December 28th 2001, 'So What' Gouda, during 'De Goudse Afrekening' live-broadcast.
Tracks: Inside out/Seven/All These Years/Vaporized/Filter/Nothing to say.

Note: unlike the rest of the bands, this band was not picked by the organising crew, but nevertheless did a great gig. Despite false chorusses, which caused a line-up change later on. The band rocks on, naming themselves ‘Velvet Lane’.

'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. As many bands rehearsed there, but not had the material yet to showcase themselves, these sessions were done and aired live.

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’.
