Haarlem Comic Festival asked the Spinshots to perform live and have a fashion show with Comic Sexy. We had a very nice stage and dancers in the dresses: the dancers were drawn by a comic artist at the spot.
These photos were made by Thijs Tennekes.
Early material of the Spinshots – this is during a talent presentation at Paradiso. I actually have warm feelings of this period of the band, when the future was open and unknown, and musically it could develop in all directions. We weren’t that good yet i guess, but i like this.
Ir Vendermeulen, the ‘Godfather of Amsterdam’ and initiator of the Amsterdam Beat Club, asked me to perform with the Spinshots and create a fashion show with the models presenting the designs while the band backed them up live.
This all happened at Paradiso, the rock temple of Amsterdam.
When I was a kid, there used to be a TV program called ‘Count Down’ which was our only option to see pop artists performing. In 2019, apparently that program still existed and asked us to perform live. Here we perform the song i wrote for the band, called ‘Slipstream of a Dream’.
