Not to be confused with umpteen other namesakes,
but if their quality curve keeps moving
up as fast as it does now, the Amsterdam guys
from Moss soon won’t have to worry about
that any longer. The indiepop band of singer/
guitarist Marien Dorleijn debuted a few years
back with some old-fashioned, solid songwritership,
and real songs still are the bottom
under Moss. But now adventure is growing
on top; the Moss of today are more intense,
rhythmic, playful and at the same time in the
grip of a vague melancholia, also thanks to the
wonderful vocals, solo and close-harmony. A
band of wild desire, as vulnerable as elusive.
Pick them.
Waylon
Waylon? Ain’t that the country dude, Waylon
Jennings? That’s right, that’s who Willem
Bijkerk named himself after, being his big
idol. Yet for some time he’s known as one of
Holland’s very biggest soul singers. Strange
but true, as already proven by his second
place in the tv show ‘Holland’s Got Talent’

(that’s right), the debut album ‘Wicked
Ways’ and his phenomenal appearance at
the Michael Jackson Tribute in Paradiso. And
that’s just being picky. Sporting Chris Isaak’s
monster quiff, the looks of El Vez, a killer voice
that’s midway between those of Terence
Trent D’Arby and Otis Redding, and being the
first Dutch signing on the legendary Motownlabel,
his future seems set. Wicked!

Laura Jansen
An artist’s life can run the strangest course.
Laura Jansen studied at the Rotterdam
school of music, went through it again in
Boston, discovered in Nashville that she had
no country blood and ended up in singer/
songwriter circles in L.A., after which she
was temporarily imported back to Holland
by Marco Borsato’s composer John Ewbank,
to have her breakthrough here via daily talk
show De Wereld Draait Door and a successful
debut album. And rightly so. Her characteristic
piano songs from the womb of Tori Amos and
Regina Spektor sparkle like fireflies on a hot
summer night. Something we can put to good
use at Noorderslag!
Wende
Wende, that’s our national chansonnier, isn’t
she? Yes and no. She was, absolutely, but that
was before the ‘Wende’, the Turning Point.
The revolution that led to her new identity as
a full-blooded singer/songwriter of emotionally
profound songs about loneliness and longing, in
the spirit of an icon like Janis Ian. In English, and

wondrously beautiful. Who would have thought
so of the Amsterdammer, whose Frenchlanguage
songs career certainly seemed nailed.
Especially for her singer/songwriter album ‘No.
9’ Wende also learned to play guitar, with which
she now tours the pop venues, much to the
delight of both her old and her new audience.
Of course Noorderslag can’t stay behind then.
Dio
If there’s one Dutch rapper who has made his
mark last year, it’s Dio, the comical Amsterdammer
whose career gained momentum
after winning the audience prize in the finals
of the Grote Prijs van Nederland in 2007. Hit
singles as guest of The Opposites and The
Party Squad, followed by an album of his own
and hits of his own, also invariably in collaboration
with others, like Voicst, Sef and last but
not least, The Madd. Everybody knows them,
instant nederhop classics like ‘Het Is Je Boy’,
‘Tijdmachine’’, ‘Aye’ and ‘Baby’, super-catchy
songs in a variety of styles, and of course the
always swinging, often joyous, sometimes serious
raps from Dio himself . Not stupid, rude
or famous, but only Rock & Roll!
