I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hi,'my name is Arjo and I'm a musician for quite a long time. Currently I'm the frontman and singer of Pluis en de Struikrovers (www.peds.nl) and bassplayer of Heads Down (www.headsdown.nl) and Dust (www.dust.dombo.net).Lot of people ask me, if you can combine these bands and so.. Well, I like singing a lot, but bass playing is still my thing! And I'm working on combining singing and bass playing, but that's hard stuff!These weeks I started of with a brand new project with some amazing musicians, like Bass Master Antoine van der Linden, Fred Mantel on lead guitars, Stan Sanders on ritme guitars and Eric Stout on drums. This project breathes the energy of real rock 'n roll and a combination of perfection, style and old school fun! In my blog reports you can follow the evolution of this project.And if I'm not playing.. well, I got my kids, the best in the whole world of course and doing what i love to do, which is driving of working on my Harley's...I'd like to thank you for visiting my page. myspace codes myspace layoutsa Myspace Video Codes
