Update Dutch Fretless Guitar Festival 2012

Propeller speelt door onvoorziene omstandigheden dit jaar toch niet op het Dutch Fretless Guitar Festival, maar gitaarliefhebbers kunnen dit weekend alsnog aan hun trekken komen in het Paardcafe.

Op de tweede dag van het festival zal overigens wel Dream Flight To Antarctica spelen, met Propeller-oprichter Willem Niehorster op fretless gitaar, en voormalig Propeller-bassist Niels Zeven op bas. De poster hierboven is gemaakt door de huidige bassist Hans Swaep.

Zanger Johnito op zijn beurt opent op zaterdag 2 juni, om 13:00 uur het Rondje Binnenhof op het Plein, door twee eigen nummers te zingen.

Due to circumstances beyond our control Propeller can not play at the Dutch Fretless Guitar Festival. 

However, Dream Flight To Antarctica, with Willem Niehorster on fretless guitar and Propeller's former bass player Niels Zeven, will perform on the second night of the festival in the Paardcafe, The Hague.

On the same day, June 2nd, Propeller singer Johnito will open the "Rondje Binnenhof" manifestation at the Plein, near the Dutch parliament. He will sing two of his own songs.

This is a pic of my debut as a singer in Propeller. It was taken somewhere in 1999, in Lokaal Vredebreuk in The Hague.
Looking back, I wasn't really ready to go on stage with such experienced musicians, but at least I had a great luminous hairdo :-)

Line up at that time:

Willem Niehorster- guitar
Arie Eikelboom-bass
Sjoerd van der Veen-drums
Dick Blaauw-percussion
Johnito-vocals

I know there exists some video footage of this gig, but it will take a while to find it.

Propeller-Colors (Live at HPC 2007) with lyrics

Sometimes it seems like I don't feel anything at all,and there have been several moments I thought I would die in this fall.

Sometimes I need somebody to hurt me or make me smile, I've been blind for a while so I could use your colors right now.

Won't you bring me back, bring me back to life, won't you do something mad, something crazy to make me smile....cry....I need some more of your symbolic colors to act out of line.

I need some more of your insecurity, give me some more of your music so I can finally hear your heart.

Won't you bring me back, bring me back to life, won't you do something mad, something crazy to make me..to make me feel alive again. Fill up this hole inside my own heart again. I still remember all those nights I used to put up a fight. Don't you remember all those days I pushed your love away? Won't you bring me back, won't you do something mad, I won't lie to you about this, I would like to take us out of this mess.

Would you bring me back, bring me back to life? Won't you do something mad? Something really crazy to make me, to make me feel alive again. Fill up this hole inside my own life again. I still remember all those nights I used to put up a fight.

Don't you remember all those days, I pushed your love away. Won't you bring it back, won't you do something mad now and smile again? (yeah)

Recorded live in HPC during our 2007 reunion.
