About Me |
|
| I am a freelance music journalist for the Dutch/Belgian metal magazine Rock Tribune ( site ). In the past, I used to write for the Dutch/Belgian e-zine Kindamuzk (www.kindamuzik.net) and the longest running metal magazine of the Netherlands Aardschok and I still have my own web-log . What's more interesting than discovering new bands? I'm always in search of cool, new music, so if you know some upcoming bands, feel free to contact me.Every now and then I'm the dj at venues like Effenaar in Eindhoven, mostly just to support the bands that are playing and to try to help the audiences having a good time. So far, I've been the dj at shows from different bands (e.g. Stone Sour, Ill Nino, Godhead, Society 1, Wednesday 13, (Hed)p.e., Kittie, Flaw, Soulfly, Raging Speedhorn, Saliva, Waterdown, Papa Roach, Prong, Chimaira, Spineshank, Evanescence, Still Remains, Atreyu, 3, Life Of Agony, Linea 77, ICP, Him, Breed 77 and Static-X) in different venues throughout the Netherlands, like Melkweg (Amsterdam), 013 (Tilburg), Effenaar (Eindhoven) and W2 (Den Bosch). Oh yeah, besides all this, I'm working my ass off at an advertising agency for 40 hours a week :)Here's the list of bands I interviewed for the above mentioned magazines: 3 Doors Down 3 Inches of Blood 36 Crazyfists 37 Stabwoundz 40 Below Summer Adema (2x) the Agony Scene Agresion Alien Ant Farm (2x) Ambiossis Among Thieves Ampt Atreyu (3x) Audrey Horne Auxitt Avenged Sevenfold Between The Buried And Me Black Bomb A Black Comedy the Blacklist Blind Sight (2x) Blink-182 Bloodsimple Boy Sets Fire Brainshake Breed 77 (2x) Bring Me The Horizon Bullet For My Valentine Butterfly Effect Caliban (2x) Chimaira (2x) Chevelle Coal Chamber Coheed And Cambria Crazy Town Crease Darkest Hour Dedicted Deftones Demon Hunter Destiny Program Devildriver(2x) Dirty Americans Disturbed Divine Heresy Dog Eat Dog Dog Fashion Disco Downset Downthesun Dredg Dresden Dolls (2x) Drowning Pool (2x) Dry Kill Logic End Of April Epidemic Evanescence Fallen To Fear Factory (3x) Finger Eleven Forcefeed (2x) Frankenbok From Autumn To Ashes Ghost Brigade Glassjaw Green Lizard (2x) Hatebreed Hatesphere Hawthorne Heights (Hed) Planet Earth Hoobastank (2x) Ill Nino (3x) Incubus Insane Clown Posse Khoma Kill II This Killswitch Engage Kittie (2x) Korn Koroded Liftid Linea 77 Linear Sphere Lost Prophets (3x) Machine Head (2x) Mad Capsule Markets Marionette Miami Golem Mindless Self Indulgence (2x) Monte Conner (Roadrunner A&R) Motherfed Mudvayne (2x) Murderdolls Mushroomhead My Ruin Nickelback Nonpoint Our Lady Peace Paatos Papa Roach (3x) Parkway Drive Payable On Death (2x) Pleymo Puddle Of Mudd Raised Fist Rapid Notion Red Tape Revis The Revolution Smile Rob GEE Saliva Sengaia Sepultura Serart Serj Tankian (System of a Down-frontman; check his solo-record) Sevendust (2x) Shortie Sincere Sinch Skindred Slipknot (3x) Smogus Snapcase Spineshank (3x) Staind (2x) Still Remains The Step Kings StoneSour Stuck Mojo Sybreed System Of A Down (2x) Taproot Textures (2x studio report, 2x interview) The MoreISee The Spirit That Guides Us Thursday Transport League Trivium (4x) Twin Zero Tub Ring Unjust The Used Waik Waterdown Wednesday 13 (2x) Winds Of Plague Wowbeggar Yellowcard Zao (2x) Zebrahead (2x) Zico Chain Thanks for having a look at my MySpace-site!
