About Me

Liger cuts the crap...

Zoals dat wel vaker gaat met dieren die in een laboratorium zijn geschapen is ook de Liger geen lang leven beschoren. Dit bewijst weer eens dat we niet tegen moeder natuur op kunnen boksen.
Na zeer vriendschappelijk overleg hebben we besloten ermee te stoppen. We zaten allemaal gewoon niet op één lijn met wat we wilden met de band en hebben de executie maar niet uitgesteld.
Team Liger zegt peace out!
Dus.....Wouter (gitarist/ zanger) is samen met een andere gitarist op zoek naar.......een drummer en een vette bassist. We willen de grenzen van de alternatieve muziek verder opzoeken. Het zal wel iets anders worden dan Liger maar in positieve zin!
Lijkt het je wat? laat het mij dan weten, ik sta erom te springen! Wouter-0641515353 of [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------ ------At the end of the summer 2005 Wouter and Dennis met for the first time at a random birthday party and started talking about music. Soon they found out their taste of music was very similar and both played an instrument. A few months and beers later Liger was born, with Wouter as guitarist/songwriter and Dennis on bass.

Liger started out as a tree-piece with the first of many drummers, but after a winter season of practising a replacement was found on drums in René and a second guitarist, Evert, was added to the line-up. Both musicians Wouter knew from previous local bands and they already played together for a half year. With this line-up Liger started working on defining their style, sound and 6 new songs later René got an offer to work in London, which eventually left the band searching for a new drummer, again.
Two new drummers had come and gone in the autumn season, when Frank was found. His powerful and innovative style of drumming was a definitive match with Liger’s music. All songs were practised and restructured again and a few were thrown away.
In July 2007 the band decided they had enough songs to perform and was eager to hit the stage. The result was the first show at a Beach Club near Hoek van Holland. The response was great and a spectator liked it so much, he arranged a show for the band in Winston Kingdom, Amsterdam immediately. After this more shows followed in places such as Exit, NL3, Paradiso, Paard.
In October and November 2007 Liger has recorded a 4 song EP at Next To Jaap Studio (Green Hornet, Blues Brother Castro, Venus Flytrap, Soda P)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/07/2007
Band Members: Wouter Wiegeraad - Guitar & Vocals
Evert Wubbe - Guitar
Dennis van der Velden - Bass
Frank Duijnisveld - Drums

..
Influences: Basically a lot of eighties and nineties indierock bands.
Sounds Like: Musically Liger is best described as noisy rock with a definite 90’s style vibe, with a combination of unconventional riffing, surprising hooks, a powerful rhythm section, distinctive vocals as well as good melodies. Coming to mind are bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth and Pavement, just to name a few. Liger is definitely inspired by the bands named, but are looking to define their own style in the midst of these giants.
Record Label: none
