Dada's Troost

Uniek Art-Rock trio welke klinkt als een verbazingwekkende mix van Depeche Mode en Red Hot Chili Peppers, met de garantie op een Zappa-achtige en genre-overstijgende live performance.

The band:
Dada’s Troost are an Art-Rock trio from Helmond, the Netherlands, founded in 2013. After a carrier as a bass player Pieter started Dada’s Troost, moving to songwriter and front man. Initially lyrics were mostly in Dutch, stuffed with social satire and sarcastic views on the contemporary Western world. Due to the bass-oriented compositions and the addition of noise guitar the band was soon called “the Dutch Primus”. In this form the band released 3 albums, an EP and several singles, slowly developing its unique sound. In 2019 “De Staat van het Avondland” was released, recorded by Guido Aalbers (NL) and mastered by Any Vandette (NY), this latest release was well received by magazines such as Aardschok (NL) and Rock Tribune (BE). The band played 60+ clubs, festivals, and supported bands like Prong (US).

During the covid-19 pandemic the guards were let down. During this period Pieter started writing about topics that really mattered in his personal life such as loss, addiction, and inter-human difficulties. The lyrics are now in English, the music is darker, more melodic, melancholic, but still contains its distinctive basslines. The band started experimenting with Electro and instruments such as brass and mellotron, discarding the constraint that a band should comply to a certain genre. “If you are Bowie or Nick Cave, you can explore any genre you like at any point in time, so why shouldn’t small artists work like this?!”. Embracing this approach, the band already performs the new songs on stage, next to the older material. This enables the band to come up with a fascinating live show, throwing the audience in every musical corner during a Zappa-like live performance, taking them along in our journey.
