About Me



my name is Evert Nijkamp ...

and I'm in love with music (mostly punkrock, garagerock and the like) and I do run, for almost 13 years (sept 19 2008 it'll be 13 years), a music-website: www.grunnenrocks.nl .The site basically is a pile of info about 9800+ bands, almost 3000 labels, almost 1500 covers-of-original-interpreter-lists and 1500+ persons ...

in case you feel like sending me stuff (btw I don't listen to tracks on MySpace that often) please do so and send the stuff to:

Grunnen Rocks
P.O. Box 6058
9702 HB Groningen
The Netherlands

obviously vinyl is the best, but CD's are neat and swell aswell,

Whenever you feel the need to contact me ... please view the contact-page at the website.

xxx, Evert
