Spinvis

BE-BOP-A-LULA

At Easter, Spinvis revealed his new album, emblazoned with the primal cry that accompanied the birth of rock and roll. Be-Bop-A-Lula is Spinvis’ Seventh and perhaps his best. The pop record, preceded by the singles Lente ‘22 and Paradijs, was released on Good Friday and will be accompanied by a club tour this autumn, passing by the Maassilo on 28 December 2023.

“We were looking for a word that would say something about this tour. It’s about us. It’s about our time. It’s about our life one night in the universe. The word is Be-bop-a-lula.”

A glimpse into Spinvis’ kaleidoscope is never the same. And yet you immediately know who you are dealing with. In the sweat of the festival meadow, the darkness of the club, the plush of the theatre or the resonance of your own windowsill: his music brings everyone who is open to it together in the same frame of mind. A touch melancholic, but hopeful, free and looking forward.

In twenty years, Erik de Jong aka Spinvis has become one of the most idiosyncratic and versatile artists in the Dutch pop landscape. His successful 2002 debut album seemed hard to follow up, yet he managed to match that quality with wonderfully wistful records like Dagen Van Gras, Dagen Van Stro (2005), Tot Ziens, Justine Keller (2011) and Trein Vuur Dageraad (2017). His No.1 album 7.6.9.6. from 2020 also made it to all the annual lists.

This concert is presented by MOMO Concerts, Rotown, BIRD and LantarenVenster and has standing room only
