Compliments for your Coffee

About Me

Imagine hummable vocals with introspective lyrics.
Music somewhere between noise-explosions and electro-rock.
Melodious jazzy basslines, a little funk, a bluesy touch.
All this on a foundation of solid rock.

Meet Compliments for your Coffee...

After (a now legendary) talk over a cup of coffee about their favourite music -dEUS, Zita Swoon - they made jokes about starting a band. Robbert already had some experience on stage with his own songs. Half a year later, this turned out not to be a joke. They ran into each other again and they decided to combine Robbert’s wonderful melodies with Nicole's poetry. After 1½ years the CD ‘Destination: Sofa’ was recorded. Fascinations en frustrations are tossed around in this attempt to heal. A quest from being shy to outrageous fantasy and from anger held back to extreme tenderness, in which music and lyrics touch, challenge and stimulate one another.

In the mean time, CfyC has expanded with a number of musical talents, each with a different musical background. Most of the time this combination turns out not to be the easy listening type of music. The numbers are experimental / alternative; the character / atmosphere in each of the numbers differs quite a bit.

We will present our new CD, "No more arguments", live at Theater met Smaak, on Sunday May 20th
