Ambition, Professionalism, Progress, a compelling live-show and excellent musicians: Just a few words that do Backwater justice.
Over the past 5 years, Backwater has grown into a successful rock act. Backwater’s music is best described as energetic rock with electronic elements, attractive to a wide audience. With their strong live shows and compelling songs, the band has gained more than 10.000 (!) Myspace members in 2007 alone. Combined with 2500 mailing list members, Backwater reaches more than 12.500 fans all over the world.
Besides playing the regular club venues in the Netherlands (a.o. Tivoli (Utrecht), Het Paard (Den Haag), 013 (Tilburg), Stairway to Heaven (Utrecht) and Unitas (Wageningen), Backwater made many appearances on Dutch festivals like Appelpop, Huntenpop, Geinbeat, Babypop, het Utrecht Uitfeest, Bevrijdingsfestival Wageningen and de Valkhof Affaire. In Germany, Backwater did two extensive tours, during which they rocked the legendary Kaiser Keller in Hamburg, the place where the Beatles played their first German gig!
In 2007 Backwater even headlined the German Rock am Turm festival in front of more than 2500 screaming Germans! Backwater has gained a lot of experience and an excellent live reputation. They have shared the stage with renowned Dutch acts like Di-rect, Within Temptation, Osdorp Posse, After Forever and even the Presidents of the USA among others!
Backwater is constantly evolving. Their latest EP ‘Feel/Show’ was received very well both in and outside of the Netherlands, resulting in a collaboration with the English producer George Shilling (Blur, Primal Scream, James Brown, Lisa Stansfield, New radicals, Porcupine Tree etc). Under the guidance of George, Backwater will return to the studio early 2008.
An evening with Backwater guarantees you a fantastic live show!
