Marcel Kruup "Kruup 6x4" 2007

There are, of course, always artists who can't do with one band. Well-known examples are Jack White, who is not only in the White Stripes, but also in The Raconteurs, and Slipknot members Corey Taylor and James Root, who are also in Stone Sour...
…The Dutch guitarist and drummer Marcel Kruup is not enough for one band either. In his 35-year music career, he played in countless bands and often in many at the same time. Six of these tapes have now been collected on the CD 6 x 4. The album starts with four songs from Los Tiki Boys. This band plays surf music in the line of The Treble Spankers (which also included Marcel Kruup). Especially opener ‘Drag Boy’ also has some rock ‘n’ roll influences. Following are four songs from The Herb Spectacles. This group is named after and influenced by Herb Alpert and therefore plays mariacchi. Four songs from The Hik follow The Herb Spectacles. This band plays sixties beat that is indistinguishable from the real thing. The tracks had not been noticed by one of the Nuggets collectors. One of the songs ("War Or Hands Of Time") is also on Nuggets II, albeit in the implementation of The Masters Apprentices. The Beach Boys song "Girl Don't Tell Me" also gets a sixties beat treatment and sounds very convincing in this version. This also applies to the other three songs from this band, which I think is the best of the six collected on this album. The following four numbers are from Golana (the reverse of analog). This band plays fairly relaxed jazz with a leading role for saxophone and keys. This is followed by The Hangouts, a band with a preference for The Everly Brothers, who expresses themselves in the lead role for the acoustic guitar and rather moderate (together) vocals. This is clearly the weakest band of the bunch. The Parlandos can close 6 x 4. They describe their music as pelicana, but few people will say anything. Think of jazz, but then influenced by various world music styles.6 x 4 gives a good impression of the musical glutton that is Marcel Kruup. Despite the different styles, the album does sound as a whole. However, for many people it will all be a bit too diverse. - https://www.festivalinfo.nl
