Highly rated performances at the international music conference Eurosonic/Noorderslag and on Dutch national TV encouraged the word of mouth and resulted in a series of over 60 energetic performances at major Dutch festivals such as Zwarte Cross (mainstage, 160,000 visitors), Appelpop (150,000 visitors), Paaspop (50,000 visitors), the Hungarian Sziget festival and sold out shows in renowned venues like Paradiso, Vera, and Doornroosje. Dutch beer brand Grolsch asked Navarone to write a song for a commercial and whiskey giant Jack Daniel’s made Navarone part of their ’Future Legends’ campaign, asking Vice to make a short documentary about the band. In December the band recorded two acoustic concerts in a large chapel, accompanied by nine high-class classical musicians, released on DVD in the autumn of 2014.
In 2014 Navarone also released their second album, called Vim & Vigor, focusing on the international rock scene. Like the previous album, Navarone’s second was mixed by the American producer Vance Powell. The band went to Nashville to work with him. Eurosonic/Noorderslag booked Navarone for the main stage (Eurosonic Air 2014).
Their third studio album for ‘Oscillation’ was released January 2017.
VENHILL
After two years of constant tweaking and forming their style to perfection, the rock band VENHILL is ready for the real deal. And they hit it off big as the support of one of their main influential bands NAVARONE. Some say the band is the Psycho-love baby between Soundgarden, John Coffey & Royal Blood, a mix between Grunge-Rock and Psych-Punk. Hard, raw songs with catchy hooks and a pounding punk heart. Behind spacy effects the lead vocalist gives her all, backed up by edgy-backing vocals. Are you ready to mosh, jump and scream? They are!
