STEPMOTHER (Lukas Simonis, Jeroen Visser, Bill Gilonis/Dirk Bruinsma, Tisa Neža Herlec & Philipp Ernsting) + ALTIJD REGEN
About the event
STEPMOTHER is Lukas Simonis (Dull Schicksal, Bazip Zeehok, Coolhaven …), Jeroen Visser (Kazanchis, morFrom …), Bill Gilonis (The Work, The Hat Shoes, Hail …), since this second record -only 10 years after the first- also including Tisa Neža Herlec aka Tisa World (multidisciplinarian) and Philipp Ernsting (ao. Albatre). The live version lacks Gilonis but Dirk Bruinsma (ao. Blast, Pumporgan) replaces him on bass. About STEPMOTHER and their ‘new’ album; “Bring me flowers and tell me you love me¨ … It took slightly long before this second album was finished, maybe due to the fact that the band members live in different countries, but although some material was written not long after the first album was finished, it lacked something that wasn’t necessary when that first album was made; a good singer. So in comes Tisa World and within a very short time the album was finally finished. What can we expect that is different from the first album? Then it was “…Anglo-American-Dutch post-punk prog rock and experimental soundscapes with a dash of Bonzo Dog Band thrown in…” -totally untrue- What more could you ask for? The journey we are taking this time is as eclectic as before, musically with nifty electronics, spooky horn sections, noisy guitars, great drumming by Ernsting and on top of that, Tisa World’s evince voice that is able to go forward in all directions without losing it’s authenticity, lyrically we go from succulent plants to more great trading days that are great, goblin markets and drunken gamblers. Can we say this? Yes we can this: he record is much more than a sum of its parts – and again it’s beautifully packed to boot, with artwork by Alfred Boland. https://stepmother-newrelease.bandcamp.com/album/bring-me-flowers-and-tell-me-you-love-me ALTIJD REGEN Nederwave duo uit Amsterdam West.
