Биография

With a big jump, we leaped from the eighties to the present, leaving once upon a time hit singles like This Is Welfare and Another Sunny Day behind and writing new exciting songs that relate to the present - just like they used to do. The new album 'Solid Ground' is out, our seventh, and we are touring again - what a relief after all those lockdowns. Between 1982 and 1985, the band released three albums: Working In Los Alamos, This Is Welfare and Under The Surface, the latter two on Epic Records. After that, we broke up in 1986. In 2014, we got together for a one-off show in the Amsterdam Paradiso that proved to be not so one-off after all. We started co-writing new sounds, songs and words, and recorded them in several studios in the Netherlands. The result was Four. A series of songs like a motley crew of colours and themes and reminiscent of our social engagement in the eighties. "Werkman", our fifth, is a concept EP dedicated to De Ploeg, the artist circle from Groningen. It features 6 new songs, of which 'So Long H.N. Werkman' stands out as a tribute to the famous artist and printer from Groningen. The EP "Enter Sanctuary" was released in 2020, and "In The Dark" and the title song were released as singles. In February 2022, "Solid Ground" came out. Ten songs: 5 of them inspired by contemporary female artists like Rineke Dijkstra and Charlotte Dumas, 4 songs about social issues and 1 song, "There's My Firstborn Talking", about Hans Croon's daughter Djuna.
