About Me



MATIK winners of the 2006 Amsterdam Pop Award and voted most interesting newcomers by VPRO 3voor12, opened for the Infadels at the Tivoli and did four shows with Goose throughout Holland. The catchy track ''Dance it Off' can be heard in the latest Heineken commercial. They have played to packed houses at Vreemd in Amsterdam's Sugar Factory and were a special live act at the glamorous Bas Kosters fashion show 2006.

The boys (Niels on beats & synths, Peter on the mic, Maarten on guitar and Sajoscha strumming bass) underwent a whirlwind mini-tour this summer – Mysteryland, Citysounds and the Uitmarkt – and have entertained crowds at hordes of venues, including the acclaimed festival 5daysoff.
