This song was written by Tim while traveling. Once back in the lowlands Tom and he reunited and started working on some new tracks. This is the first of hopefully a few more that will follow the coming summer period! Enjoy the mixture of mellow classic, electric and bass guitar, keys, percussion and drums! Booya!

Time Travels

The fifth track of the ccf demo album 'Greatest Hits'. Lyrics by drummer Tom and lead guitarist Freek. Our catchy and uppedy song, with the riddem and harmony section providing a solid backbone so that Freek and Huib can rock-out, inviting the ladies for a little dance

End of the Beginning - Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

The fourth track of the ccf demo album 'Greatest Hits'. Lyrics by drummer Tom and lead guitarist Freek. The funky tuna is a dance without any predetermined steps. There is only one rule, make it WEIRD &amp; FREAKY ("and look for another funky tuna to meet")

Funky Tuna - Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

The third track of the ccf demo album 'Greatest Hits'. A little love song written by singer/guitarist Huib (Mr. Steady). 

Toes in the sand - Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

The second track of the ccf demo album 'Greatest Hits'. Written by riddem guitar man Tim (plant), this track is the oldest CCF song on the album. Starting out as a folky tune with various Bob Dylan references (spot them all!), over time and after various adaptations, the song has tranformed into what one might consider to be the classic CCF-anthem that it is now. 

Foreign Sounds - Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

The instrumental intro track of the ccf demo album 'Greatest Hits'. With the Bass synth wah as our engine, this song starts out in space, crashes on planet 'Chromotoneplamenter' (that rhymes with adventure), returns quickly to space, only to crash harder again. MMWWWOOWWW

March - Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

Huib wrote this song during his time in Ireland and the band created a sound around it as they heard Huib play it in studio De Leeuwerik in Bavel. With Freak premiering on the keyboard, the next step was taken and we hope to surprise ourselves (and you) in the future...  

Giant - Project CCF #2: The brief return of the Huib

This song was composed by Tim, lyrics were written by Tom. A dark tune..

You can beg for mercy - Project CCF #2: The brief return of the Huib

Last recording of the freaky community centre, for now. It was nice

A Stroll Through the Mind of a Freak

This song was recorded somewhere in 2011 in Studio Tombola, only named by the chords used; DAG. When Tim was browsing through CCF's files, he found this and started to mix it a bit. Since every member of the band is following it's own path right now: "See you when I see you"

Project CCF - See you when I see you (Dag)

Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady

In January of 2012, vocalist/guitarist Huib van der Aar joined the 4 members of 'Project CCF' in Breda, the Netherlands, with the general purpose to jam some tracks and see what happens. The band had been looking for a vocalist for well over 2 years and had mainly focused on writing material and improving their own and collaborative skills in music. They formed between the spring of 2008 (Tom van Ooij- drums, Tim Vugts– guitar and Freek van der Meer - guitar) and fall of 2009 (Bram Vissers – bass) without any real musical background, thus starting from scratch.

The joining of forces proved to be successful and the group got along very well, very quickly. Not really being bothered with playing covers of other bands, material written by Huib was adapted to suit a backing band and in turn Huib learned to sing and play along with the material written by the other 4. 

In April of 2012, they decided to start recording the few songs they had conjured up together as Huib was set to leave the country in June of the same year. In those 2 months the group got together once or twice every week at Tom’s student housing – also known as Studio Tombola – to record the songs they had and see if it was worth a damn. Though none of them had any experience in recording, mixing or mastering music, there was no other way to go about it than to do it all themselves, mainly due to budget and time-related reasons. With one USB microphone, an amplifier that runs a signal through an external soundcard to a laptop and way too many cables lying on the floor, the group managed to record a CD/EP/Demo dubbed “Greatest Hits” with 7 tracks in the two months before Huibs departure.

Not knowing what the future will bring for either of them, Project CCF is bound to keep on changing. This particular project was centered on Huib -dubbed “Project CCF #1: Mr. Steady”- and with him leaving the picture – for now – the 4 remaining members will continue to make music in search for another project. Anyone is invited to join provided they get along well and can bring something to the table. The only way to know that is to try. So if you feel like jamming out – whether you’re a singer or a banjo player, play the trumpet or the flute – leave a message and time will tell!
