Leisure Tank is raw, poetic rock with unpredictable song structures and heavy, danceable grooves. K.C.’s voice and lyrics have been compared to early PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi, and Leslie Feist.

The folky pop songs and piano solo music of BARAGAN take you along on a journey, with music that was born on the road and ripened on the streets, with the sun setting over deserted beaches or with people singing along on the lively terraces of many countries. In Baragan's music one hears the burning desire for the unknown, the longing for the distant lands behind the hills, the yearning to be yanked from the known, to surrender to a stream of encounters that make you drift away to new love, new friendship and unreachable horizons.

Sing along, travel along and wander away. 

Baragan was born during the traveling Jense Meek did with his accordion as a faithful travel companion. Road trips without destination, but full of adventure. Inspired by the street musicians’ life, with its coincidental encounters and its drifting existence, lyrics were moulded around themes as leaving, letting go, opening up and looking inward. The music takes you along to places in southern Europe and northern Africa.

We are merely ghosts in the machine. Looming in the gloom reaching out for existence, for acknowledgement. The more time runs out and dreams seem to fade into shades of grey.... the ghosts become a cry from the past....

Rik is a solo artist, armed with a variety of tools to create a full and interesting sound, from his slide and mouth harp, to his incredible vocal range.  He writes, sings, and plays his own songs on his acoustic guitar, drawing from a wide influence of styles: original folk and blues sounds from way back, sixties’ rock ’n’ roll grooves, and up-to-the-minute pure rock rhythms - with elements of gypsy and Spanish influence thrown in for good measure.  Although sometimes Rik is accompanied by a band, like in case of his latest album 'Love on the rocks'. more on that on www.rikvandenbosch.com.
American / Dutch folk and blues legend Michael de Jong wrote about ‘Love on the rocks’: 'You should be proud of this one!'
In 2005 Rik made it to the finals of Holland’s biggest singer-songwriter contest. This kickstarted his singer-songwriter career and he has been touring around Europe ever since. Rik regularly tours Europe, returning to his homeland in the Netherlands, traversing Germany, or heading south to Spain and Italy for warmer climes. He is playing his first UK dates in 2017.

A bright new noise has entered the dutch alternative rock scene. iVelvet was formed in 2013 in Utrecht, The Netherlands, by Bandy Soos (vocalist) and Erik de Groot (guitarist). November 2013 the band was at full strength with guitarist/backing vocalist Raymond Jager, bassist Roel Wiersema and drummer Jan Westveen.
In 2014 iVelvet released their first demo-EP, Raw Cut, including among others Something Big, Pray and Persuasion.
In the autumn of 2015 Jeroen Kraan joined the band on drums and iVelvet evolved towards an even more heavier rock sound.
February 2015 iVelvet released their first official single Something Big at Spotify and Apple Music.
iVelvet is solid (as a) rock and inspired by a combination of grunge, stoner and indie rock bands.
