The Dutch­‐English folk pop band Southern Sunrise is back with their second release of 2013, after the successful release of their debut EP Brighton.

The above-­mentioned debut record led to national and regional airplay, a live performance on Dutch Radio 1 during the popular program ‘Met Het Oog Op Morgen’ and a string of shows throughout the UK and the Netherlands. Southern Sunrise played live in the main hall of Paradiso Amsterdam and at the Bruis festival in Maastricht with a.o. Miles Kane, Kitty Daisy & Lewis and Mister & Mississippi. The band also played established Dutch venues like Mezz Breda, Tivoli Oudegracht and the Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen as special guests for golden record winner Ozark Henry and winner of the 2012 edition of ‘De Beste Singer-­Songwriter Van Nederland’, Douwe Bob.

Now Southern Sunrise are ready for their second release of the year, their new single ‘Elspeth’. The song is recorded in the spiritual home of the blues­‐rockers from DeWolff, the analogue Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio in Utrecht, and is produced by DeWolff frontman Pablo van de Poel. The single has a nice, warm tape­‐sound to it, which you can’t find anymore in a lot of modern pop songs. To finish this sound, the song has been mastered by Adam Nunn (a.o. Mumford & Sons and Nick Drake) in the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.

“A worthy testament of a band who helped colouring the blues rock scene of Limburg for six years” -­ ZEF Magazine


"The only downside about this album is that it’s only just under 35 minutes long, because this release leaves you wanting more. A reunion perhaps, gentlemen?" 
- Blues Magazine


On March 23rd 2013 the Dutch rock band from Limburg, NL, played their last show in front of a sold out local venue. Fortunately, this show as been recorded live and now there’s their live album Live At The Fat Stone.

Triple Dice has built a strong live reputation nationally and internationally in their six years of existence. By playing shows in prestigious Dutch venues like De Muziekgieterij, Fenix and P60 Amstelveen, the group managed to win over many rock-­lovers. The band opened for respected live acts like DeWolff (NL) and The Seatsniffers (BE). Also festivals like Conincxpop had to give in to their sound. Besides that, Triple Dice appeared live on television several times and enjoyed regional and international airplay.

After the release of their single ‘Don’t Discard Your Lucky Card (Love Song)’ they embarked on a mini-­tour across the South coast of the United Kingdom in the summer of 2012. The band played in places such as Folkestone and Brighton, the latter being the set for the music video for their single.

On January 26th the band announced their split via their Facebook page, stating that they would play one final show for all their family, friends and fans. This sold out show was held on March 23rd in the Dikke Stein (Fat Stone) in Elsloo, NL, and was recorded live by Roy Brezinski. These recordings have been mixed and mastered in his studio, together with the band.

Expect a loud portion of blues-­rock influenced by The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, The Faces and The Doors and re-­live the final show of Triple Dice, a show you shouldn’t have missed and now not have to miss anymore!

￼“A Dutch­‐English cooperation that leaves you wanting more.” - Kicking The Habit


Just a year after the band wrote their first song, Southern Sunrise proudly present their debut EP, titled Brighton. Written in and about the British seaside town by York native Shonagh Macleod and Dutch songwriter Arjan Pieters, Brighton is a result of the collaboration between the two different cultures.

Shonagh, born and raised in the quiet, historical city of York, had a very diverse introduction to music. Influenced by her New Yorker mother and Glaswegian father’s vast CD collection, she listened to everything from Bananarama, to The Mamas & The Papas, to Kula Shaker (not to forget the Friday night viewing of TOTPs). In her teens she began going to gigs at some of York’s many venues and grew to love live music.

Arjan, on the other hand, started with a classical background, playing the recorder at 9, then upgrading to flugelhorn. In his mid-­teens he began discovering bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, after his parents bought him his first guitar, and he decided to follow in the footsteps of these music legends. He started his first band, playing at family parties and local venues and became roadie for his friend’s band, DeWolff, who have since gained countrywide fame and led the way for young musicians in the South of Holland.

The EP was recorded at various locations, including the Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio in the south of the Netherlands. The studio, completely analogue, was recently featured in the Dutch edition of the Guitarist Magazine, and is run by DeWolff front man Pablo van de Poel.

The songs, based on experiences in their day to day life in the south of England, and travelling between the north of the country and Holland, are a combination of folk and story­‐telling pop, infused with other genres. Inspired by the sights and sounds of the city, Brighton is a testament of the band’s love for the relaxed atmosphere, (mostly) sunny summers, and vibrant inhabitants that can be seen on the streets and beach. The second track of the EP, Young Love Blues, is the exception. It was the first song the band wrote, inspired by Laura Marling and written at the Pieters’s family home, it tells a tale woven of pure imagination about an unfortunate couple who meet a dark end. The song was written and recorded in 2 days and was the catalyst for the formation of the band.

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
