This would have probably been put off until later in the que for digitization, until I noticed that they do a cover of L.S.U.’s “Bye Bye Color.” Well, it is song with the lyrics to “Bye Bye Color” over a completely different musical arrangement. The band is from the Netherlands, and I had to translate some terms above from Dutch. But I couldn’t find out what “Techniek” translates to other than “Technics.” Stage show I guess? Anyways, the sound is kind of alternative rock with some mod and surf rock leanings. It reminds me of what Surprise Surprise did sometimes in the early days.
