Appie Kim is the solo project of Natasha van Waardenburg, former guitarist and song writer of De Nieuwe Vrolijkheid. Since its unexpected end in February 2007, she performs new material together with Marcel Duin (drums and keys) in venues in The Netherlands and abroad. They have played in London (Febuary and September), Liverpool, Lancashire, Antwerpen, Paradiso (Amsterdam), Vera (Groningen) and Rotown (Rotterdam). Appie Kim have received praising reviews so far:
“[Natasha’s] voice is strong and emotive and kept the crowd gripped to the point I suddenly realised I was entirely engrossed in the songs and performance. Not only this but the by the drummer to introduce one of the tracks is reason alone to go see them if they ever come and play here again.†– Forty Shades of Noise
“Their tunes are infectious and glorious and ever-so-slightly shambling, like some fantastic collision between C86 and a Phil Spector girl band. […] If this band were from London or Brighton or New York they would be on the cover of magazines.†– Manchester Music
“Appie Kim play a set that is as good as anything I have heard this year. […] It’s fragile, sharp, intensely dreamy music with an incredibly vicious edge that stops anything getting sentimental.†– Incendiary Magazine
