ABOUT DI-RECTDI-RECT, the youngest and most successful rock band from Europe's Lowlands have been labeled by media as the Dutch Who. Nice compliment, but careers in 2008 don't take off because you trash your instruments on a TV show and for sure not in the liberal Netherlands, the home of the weirdest reality TV shows the world has ever seen.
It happened for DI-RECT on stage, playing over 800 gigs and countless festivals such as Pinkpop, Parkpop, Lowlands and Beatstad.
Bas, Jamie, Spike and Tim are only in their early twenties but have already released 4 albums, had 16 hit singles topping the radio charts and won 13 music industry awards including several MTV Networks’ TMF Awards for their vibrating performance, mind blowing rock music and superb video clips. Meanwhile the band has been asked to perform in The Who's legendary rock opera "Tommy" in 2008.Already at the age of 16, DI-RECT rocked the legendary Pinkpop Festival. Their first album “Discover†turned gold straight away with the hit single ‘Just the Way I Do’.After many rock & roll hits, they conquered the charts yet again with one of their few, but stunning ballads ´Inside my Head´.Indonesia was one of the many countries that immediately fell in love with the rock band. In no time they scored a number 1 hit and did a fully sold out tour for their fans. From one side of the world to the other, DI-RECT entered MTV’s Road Rally for three weeks of pure Rock & Roll. From San Francisco to New York, no money, no cell phones and no credit cards. With only a crappy van, some instruments and a lot of energy they made it to the Big Apple.With the Night of the Proms this band proved they could rock just as well with a 70-piece orchestra behind them. 150.000 people screamed their lungs out eleven nights in a row.At the end of the summer of 2007, DI-RECT rocks in their hometown The Hague at Beatstad Festival in front of 45.000 wild screaming fans.The 3rd single of their latest album has once again shown the rocking attitude of DI-RECT. DI-RECT is passionate, dynamic, energetic and most of all: Rock & Roll.
