Cords & Oostnederlands Kamer Orkest - Classic Rock Classic 1999

Cords was a noise rock band from the Netherlands. Originally formed as the Flintstones in '89, renamed to Chords in '90, and after a threatening lawsuit became Cords in '92 whilst recording their debut album for TVT Records in NYC. Being invited by John Peel for 2 sessions, touring the USA (with Low Pop Suicide), Europe (with the Gun Club) and Australia, playing at big festivals such as Roskilde, Sziget, Lowlands, SXSW, Dynamo Open Air and many others, many radio and TV-appearances, ending the roller-coaster ride in '99 playing in front of a serious classical orchestra. 
They have done a one-off comeback tour in 2010, accompanied by the release of 'Collage' , a highly collectable cd/dvd box-set .
Just like the tracks on this page, which are all non-released recordings, dug up from the archives by Petrushka Morsink.
Enjoy, while they last...
