PAARDCAFÉ: ALASKA POLLOCK + MATTEO

Thursday 10 September 2015 2015

ALASKA POLLOCK is where electronic music meets alternative pop, with just a touch of blues. Based in Amsterdam, the band is built around composer and producer Jelte de Vries. By combining his guitar-driven songs with electronic drums and synths, he creates an interesting sonic landscape that is both intriguing and groovy.

Taking best of the electronic and acoustic worlds, Rogier van Roosmalen, Olivier de Jong and Jelte perform with the live-feel you expect from a band, with the lush sound of an electronic production. Live, this is also reflected in the accompanying visuals/light show. ALASKA POLLOCK is most probably influenced by Radiohead, Alt-J, Flume and many others. Their first EP “WOLVES” is now available on Bandcamp.

Line-up:
Jelte de Vries – guitar, vocals
Rogier van Roosmalen – drums, electronics
Olivier de Jong – bass guitar

MATTEO is the band name of singer and pianist Matteo Iannella. With personal lyrics, soulful arrangements and a sweet, sultry Rhodes sound, he sure knows how to enchant you.
