Stuurbaard Bakkebaard

Last updated: 5 days ago

This is a band that continues to find new ways to push musical boundaries and defy being pigeonholed into labels or genres.

Under the name Stuurbaard Bakkebaard, this trio has released five albums since 1996
and played hundreds of shows in the Netherlands, Europe, and South Africa. After their
last album, "Boys Do Cry" (PIAS), a temporary retreat from the stage followed—but certainly not inactivity. Behind the scenes, they created music for film and television, while sketching the contours of something new: new music, meant to be played live. It evolved into their sixth album FEEDING THE RATS. It will be released on vinyl and digital on March 20th 2026, followed by a series of live shows.

Both on record and live you'll hear SBBB in their rawest and most angular form yet. With a sound built on fuzz, drums, and their signature bent-language vocals, it's intense, abrasively charming, and strangely danceable. Live, it's a must-see experience.
