Music that grabs you, by three men with excellent chemistry. Raw vocals, bluesy riffs and a thumping groovy backline make this band from Utrecht (The Netherlands) a must see live.
It has been ten years since vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Bas Beenackers, bass player Johan van Bussel and drummer Dennis Wechgelaar were jamming on the stairs leading up to a student house along the Vleutenseweg in Utrecht one summery afternoon, when a vintage blue van parked across the street. The three looked at one another and toasted their beer cans: they had just found a name for their band.
Over the years that followed, My Blue Van played up and down the country, winning various awards and recording three critically acclaimed albums along the way: As Colours Change (2013), Hush (2015) and Robot (2017).
They have just announced album number four: My Blue Van. before embarking on the recording sessions, the band had decided to change tack. For this album, they decided not to record in a fancy studio, but to do everything by themselves. Just the three of them, at their home studio. Working at their own pace, to their own rules.
Listen to the ten tracks and it’s one surprise after another. The band have skillfully woven raw rhythm and blues, funk and even hip hop beats into an irrepressible blend that viciously hits your ear drums one moment before carting you off to a sunny seaside destination the next. My Blue Van’s musical riches simply cannot be taken in in just one listen.
