The Flying Martinis
The Flying Martinis uit het pittoreske Barendrecht en de wereldstad Rotterdam zijn hard op weg de Randstad te veroveren. De band die in 2006 is opgericht speelt rock in de breedste zin van het woord, met uitschieters naar blues, pop, jazz en funk
Meng de rhythm 'n' blues van Ray Charles met de dansbare drive van Arctic Monkeys, de bossa nova van Sergio Mendez met de gitaar riffs van Jimi Hendrix, de psychedelische orgelsound van The Doors met The Strokes en je komt tot een aangename mix die The Flying Martinis heet. Komende zomer komt het eerste album uit en dat gaat fucking hard rocken.
"Met hun ruime setlist laten The Flying Martinis zelfs de stilste kroegen op hun grondvesten schudden" (Speakers, juni 2007).
Dus wij zouden zeggen: ‘Put your hands up for TFM and Shake the Shakable!!!'.
------------------------------English Biography-----------------------------
Spring 2006, The Flying Martinis are founded by Louie and VanderGroove. They were asked to perform at the “Zuiderparkdagen” in Charlois, Rotterdam. Drummer Pedi-B and vocalist Froekoe joined the band and in no time The Flying Martinis started to compose appealing, alternate and dancable music.
Summer 2007, Froekoe has left the band and since then Mark also does vocals, besides guitar. The three bandmembers are no strangers to one another and through the years they've had quite some experience when it comes to music making and on-stage performance (coverband The Daisycutters for example).
The setlist started to grow and the three are inspired by bands and artists like The Doors, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Strokes, The Velvet Underground, Arctic Monkeys, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters and Johnny Cash. Because of the fact that The Flying Martinis also like the club-scene, the DJ-Sets by Jules Deelder, Fatboy Slim, Air, Soulwax and others have a big influence on their music.
Fewer than six months later, The Flying Martinis decide to do recordings for their ‘Dirty Job EP'. Just when you thought that that was it, the 4th of may in 2007 the album ‘Live in Concert' was recorded in Get Rhythm, Ridderkerk. These recordings are the proof that The Flying Martinis are well able to entertain many pubs and clubs for more than an hour....
