COOLHAVEN

Their first record sounded like some kind of lo-fi techno ambient country and western and in the beginning of 2003 they released their first feature album Blue Moustache, inspired by electronic music, bullshit generators and flying trapeze’s.
HAJO DOORN He sometimes played with Veryan Weston, and in the notorious group The Lost Lovers. And Dull Schicksal. He is some kind of director at WORM, and his writing alter ego is called Raoul Goudvis.
LUKAS SIMONIS Sometimes calls himself musician. Played in Dull Schicksal, AA Kismet, Trespassers W. Also works at WORM where he has a ‘free’ role. Just like in the bible.
PETER FENGLER His other group is called Shake Spier. And besides that he is a visual artist. And besides that he still has a nice body. And besides that he has a club called The Player in the former red-light district of Rotterdam. But they do art there nowadays.
JOHAN DE KOEYER (aka Donkey Hare Joe) is their technical slave. Doing the visuals and taking care of the sound.
But what do they actually sound like live?
Let’s say it is a mixture of electronics, sampling, loops and delays, live-video and self made films, free improvised compositions, folksy bits with acoustic instruments, strange little songs, performing (blowing your nose in front of an audience) sprechgesang, surreal tearjerking stories and even some clicks & cuts.
