1984 join Hyves

Considering the fact that the Hyves friends network is immensely popular in Holland, the band just couldn't stay behind and extended the digital domain with their own Hyve. You can check it out at smtribute.hyves.nl. We'd love to hear from you, so 'krabbel' at will!

(Someone somewhere) in Summertime

Reviewing the last couple of months, we can say we've had one hell of a time. We played venues in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Almere and our home-town Etten-Leur. The new website came online and all sections are up and running. It's time to relax now and enjoy the holidays. Even though the agenda looks pretty much empty, behind the screens things are cooking, so trust us, we'll be back soon.

Website renewal

After 4 years it was about time to change the look of our website, and so after months of preparation we can finally show you the results! Not all sections of the site are online yet, so you could run into some dead links here and there, but the look is here to stay, so we hope you like it.

Stadion "Vechtse Banen"

In September we will have our first STADION-gig !!! Place to be: Stadion "De Vechtse Banen" near Utrecht. Rumors are this gig will be a collaboration between us and "In The Name Of Love", the U2 tribute band that currently is competing for the title of best coverband of the Netherlands. Ofcourse we’re excited about the opportunity, so watch this space closely for more info.

Leidse Plein Live

On the 30th of May 2009 we will perform at Leidse Plein Live in Amsterdam. Open air gigs always rock, especially if it invovles our nation’s capital. The show will be organised by John - Clash of the Coverbands - v.d. Borne’s Agency of the Coverbands.

New keyboard player

December last year, our keyboard player Ferencz unfortunately decided to leave us, so we had to look out for new talent to support us. Luckily, we quickly found András Incze, who also hits the right notes with the funk-soul-dance formation Lily White Biscuits. András has experience in producing housemusic, which will come in handy reproducing the trancelike ambiance of the Simple Minds anthems.
