Maybe this has got something to do with the intense crowd over there? Many more NL-gigs to come, very looking forward to ‘em.

Anyway, in the meanwhile my album has been picked up by 3voor12/VPRO, which makes me very happy. If you haven’t listened to my album yet – shame on you! – go and listen to it here right now. I said now!

I just google translated it)

Enjoy the sun, tataah!
