energetic, rootsy and swampy.
The performances are stormy and driven. The band never fails to impress.
The musicians:
 Henk Waninge - vocals & guitar
 Corine Nieuwenhuijzen - guitar & vocals
 Edmond Valentijn - drums & vocals
 Willem Molenaar - bass guitar & samples

They don't just play the blues: they have it!
The band has recorded an album with eleven tracks of the very hőchest quality.
The Captain (Henk Waninge) is truly uncanny with his raw voice.
