At Easter, Spinvis will reveal his new album, adorned with the primal cry that accompanied the birth of rock & roll. Be-Bop-A-Lula is Spinvis’ Seventh and perhaps his best. A look into Spinvis’ kaleidoscope is never the same. And yet you immediately know who you are dealing with. In the sweat of the festival grounds, the darkness of the club, the plushness of the theater or the resonance of your own windowsill: his music brings everyone who is open to it together in the same mind. A touch of melancholy, but hopeful, free and looking ahead
SPINVIS
Saturday 20 January 2024 2024
“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.” Erik de Jong alias Spinvis has grown into one of the most idiosyncratic and versatile artists in the Dutch pop landscape in twenty years. His successful debut album from 2002 seemed difficult to follow, but he managed to match that quality with wonderfully melancholic records such as Dagen Van Gras, Dagen Van Stro (2005), Tot Ziens, Justine Keller (2011) and Trein Vuur Dageraad (2017). ). Also his number 1 album 7.6.9.6. from 2020 made all the year lists. Spinvis will return to The Hague on 20 January.
