CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO CLIP, SHOT AT OUR RECENT ROCK/DANCE SHOW: "WE ARE NOT HUMANITY"
What is Noblesse?
Noblesse is a 3 piece indie-rock band from The Netherlands. Three gentlemen residing in the stuffy and official city of The Hague, with nothing much better to do than rock the lands flat. Singer/guitarist Orson was a successful ballet dancer, bass player Shag a car mechanic, while drummer Gid was a drummer. After meeting accidentally in a bar and realizing they are all half Israeli, they also realized that their instruments of choice formed a perfect rock power trio. And so Noblesse was born. Blending alt-rock, sleazy pop and punk with a noble touch, Noblesse unleash a contagious brand of indie-rock that grabs you and leaves you yearning for more. Hard and melodic, daring and accessible, raw and refined. That is Noblesse!A Promising Start
