Biografie van de kunstenaar New Adventures

There Are At Least Two Bands Called New Adventures Listed Here Chronologically In Order Of Appearance In History. 1. New Adventures Was A Dutch Rock Band Originally From The Town Of Winschoten Formed In 1978. The Band Started Out As A New Wave Band But Soon Developed Into A Bluesy Rock Band In The Vein Of Herman Brood & His Wild Romance And British Pub Rockers Such As Dr. Feelgood. The Band Was Regarded As Part Of The Groningen Rock Scene. The Group Signed To Polydor In 1979. Golden Earring Guitarsit George Kooymans Produced The Band's First Two Albums 1980's Eponymous New Adventures And 1981's Wild Cats Moanin'. The Group's Version Of Chuck Berry's 'Come On' Made Famous By The Rolling Stones Was A Modest Chart Hit In The Netherlands. Personnel In This Period Peter Bootsman Guitar Vocals Harry De Winter Bass Vocals Henk Torpedo Drums . New Adventures Were A Populair Live Band In The Early 1980s Discovered By Many As The Opening Band For Golden Earring. More Albums Followed Point Blank 1982 Radiator 1983 . The Group Folded In 1986 After The Release Of A 'best Of' LP Best Adventures And A Live LP Live's A Mess But Saw Several Reincarnations In Later Years. Bootsman And De Winter Also Released New Material As Tuney Tunes And New Legend. 2. The British Band - “New Adventures” - Circa 2007
Friends Since University The Four Boys Had Been Playing Music For As Long As They Care To Remember As Nick Puts It “It Was Always The Plan”. Jez Discovered He Could Handle The Responsibility Of The Microphone When He Invaded Someone Else’s Performance “and For Some Reason Wasn’t Kicked Off Stage” And The Need For A Singer Helped Him Grow Into The Responsibility. Raph - He Of The Bass - Was More Or Less A Founder Member. Steve Had Been “playing Coat Hangers” Since He Was A Kid And Eventually Found His Muse In The Form Of Lead Guitar. Nick’s Addition To The Band Preceded A 4-Date Tour In Which They Had Their Van And All Of Their Equipment Stolen But Rather Than Being Cast Aside As Some Bad Luck Omen He Was In Fact Given The Responsibility Of The Beat On A Full-Time Basis. “I Think The Collective Suffering Bonded Us In A ‘Stick It To The Man’ Kind Of Togetherness. I Was In For The Long Haul!”. And So The Band Existed For Some Time. The Quartet Finished Higher Education And Decamped To London With Steve And Jez Indulging Their Love Of Vintage Gear By Flogging From A Shop In Covent Garden. It Was Here That One Day Helen Popped In For Some Jeans And Left With Grander Ideas. “Maybe It Was Fate Or Good Luck But They Were The Best Pair Of Jeans I Ever Bought”. She Took Up The Keys Provided Some Lush Backing Vocals And Revealed To The Rest Of The Band What They’d Been Missing All Along. “She Was The Final Piece ” Says Jez And For Steve “our Best Musician”. The Vintage Vibe Swept Through The Rest Of The Band And Brought Look And Sound Into Close Quarter. The Resulting Democracy Set To Work Spinning Their Threads Of Influence Together Slowly Awakening Their Own Sound Checking And Re-Checking Their Individual Touchpoints For A Source Of Inspiration. “The Classical Music I Resented As A Rebellious Teen Ended Up Having A Great Impact On Me” Says Jez A Sentiment With Which The Rest Of The Band Would Concur. Of His Soaring Heartbreaking Vocal He’s Far More Humble. “It Just Comes Out When I Sing My Own Words. I Rarely Enjoy Listening To My Own Voice But I Love Singing Which Is A Strange Contradiction”. Strange Indeed When You Hear What Happens When Jez Puts That Voice Into Action. Timeless Yet Vulnerable It Perfectly Pilots New Adventures’ Vessel Of Planet-Sized Pop. Like Arcade Fire Without The Aloofness Radiohead Minus The Melodrama New Adventures Invoke Wayne Coyne’s Spirit Of Music As Emotional Call-And-Response And Cast It Across Wilco’s Sepia-Washed Sunsets All Deftly Conjured With Their Own Seventh Sense For A Pop Melody. It’s All There In The Way “A Million To One” Takes Off Into The Galaxy On Its Coda And The Expansive Pleading Chorus Of “It’s In Our Hands”. That’s Not Even Mentioning The Symphonic “How I Got My Devil Back” And How It Faces Down All Your And Its Own Fears Against The Backdrop Of The Northern Lights. And That’s Just For Starters. The Band Will Tell You That The Scope And Stature Of Their Output Just Redoubles With Every Song Jez Presents For Them To Breathe Life Into. “He Just Keeps Getting Better And Better” Says Helen. Indeed Jez’s Sense Of Perfectionism Leads Him To Thinks That He’ll Spend The Rest Of His Life “trying To Write The Perfect Love Song”. Call It A Hunch But We Don’t Think It’ll Take Him That Long.
