About Me


On a warm day in August, two Dutch boys started writing songs. With their early home-recording-demo's they managed to get signed by the promising Dutch label VOLKOREN which harbours bands like at the close of every day (NL/DK) and Sixteen Horsepower (USA).
ANDERSON started to perform live in 2004; intimate shows with just 2 voices and acoustic guitars. After a while they started to dress up their songs with electronic beats, samples and synths. Their music can be described as electro-acoustic indie-pop; Kings of Convenience meets The Postal Service.
After their second gig ANDERSON won the band contest the Grand Prix of South Holland and in December 2004 they were elected by the audience as the best band at the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, the biggest Dutch band competition!
In the summer of 2004, ANDERSON recorded their debut-album we radio anderson. The album was recorded by Martijn Groeneveld (Face Tomorrow) and produced by Minco Eggersman (the spirit that guides us, at the close of every day) and René de Vries (this beautiful mess). It was released in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg by Volkoren/Munich, in Germany and Austria by Decoder Records/Alive and in Japan by Thistime Records...
The responses in the media were highly positive; good reviews in music magazines (Oor, Fret) and newspapers (Belgian newspaper De Morgen made we radio anderson album of the week). The album-track imagine you in front of me is getting a lot of airplay; it even reached the charts of Holland 's biggest alternative radio station, Kink FM (no. 8 in the Outlaw 41).
ANDERSON toured in the United States, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland and Belgium and they played at some great clubs including Paradiso, Nighttown, Ekko, Hedon, 013 and Vera (Holland), l'Ancienne Belgique, Vooruit (Belgium), The Knitting Factory (Los Angeles) and Debaser (Stockholm)
