When ‘Witte Was’ appeared, did we mistake Goldband for The Hague’s answer to The Youth of Today? Then the band has stood on very different shoulders over the years. From Dutch pop anthems to trance crackers, from club culture to typical Hague mats: they remix it all in a quirky sauce that is unmistakably Goldband. After an amazing breakthrough year as the festival act of last summer, raking in the Popprijs and a series of Edisons, the group from The Hague has achieved the greatest achievement of their career this week: three(!) sold-out shows in the AFAS Live. A good reason to study their music with a magnifying glass. Where does Goldband get the mustard from?
