SLOPER was formed in 2018 by two infamous drummers; @Triggerfinger’s Mario Goossens and @Golden Earring’s Cesar Zuiderwijk.
Drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk joined Golden Earring in 1970 and toured the world after scoring a world hit with “Radar Love”. Cesar likes to talk of himself as “I’m a drummer so I can’ play out of tune. I love that freedom while playing with Sloper”.
Fellow-drummer Mario Goossens is one of the founding members of Triggerfinger, a powerful rock-trio that has toured clubs & rockfestivals on the European continent for over 20 years now.
Even before the two men met, there was humongous mutual respect. They’d run into each other before and decided to finally ‘do something together’, so they recruited British vocalist Peter Shoulder (Winterville, The Union and Silverthorne) and guitarist Fabio Canini (BE) to form this musical deconstruction company together called SLOPER.
(in dutch ‘slopen’ means ‘to destroy’, and a ‘sloper’ is a deconstruction hammer)
End of 2023, the band embraced two new members to replace Peter: welcome Jan Bas on vocals/ guitar and Bas Soetens on bass are now part of the new SLOPER.
The music for the upcoming album has been more produced than the straightforward rock on Sloper’s debut.
Expect to hear a wider variety of influences from the 80s, 90s, even Northern Soul.
