BAG LADY

About Me

Tiemen Seinstra and Poul Sven de Haan had been making intense and personal music together (with a host of guest-musicians) as Bag Lady for over ten years, when they were asked to compete in a regional final of the Grote Prijs van Nederland (the Great Price of the Netherlands). They formed a live-band with -among others- Cage! on guitar and Mathijs Beukema on drums. This collaboration pleased them so much, they decided to continue as a quartet. The creative life of a hermit was partially replaced with rehearsing and writing songs together. In 2008 keyboard-player John den Haan closed the ranks to make Bag Lady a quintet. Hooray! The multiplication heralds a new beginning.

Sounds Like: "getting locked in a room taking acid with Frank Zappa, Megadeth, early Genesis and Aphex Twin. Suppressing, challenging and vaguely deranged are all words that spring to mind." (FutureMusic)

"Bag lady is experimentation taken to its limits." (MusicExtreme)

"Stonerrock, zenuwslopende breaks, noise en pop wisselen elkaar in razend tempo af, met soms briljante vondsten, hecht samenspel en virtuoze uitstapjes." (Fret)

"een woeste opeenstapeling van gemanipuleerde computers, synthesizers, gitaren en stemsamplers smeren dikke klanktapijten onze oren dicht, om ze vervolgens weer open te prikken met nerveuze beats." (Gonzo(circus))

"een tijdmachine zonder kapitein die ergens koers houdt tussen manie en destructie en af en toe opduikt in dromenland" (LiveXS)

"Electro / techno uit de 80er jaren, chaotische Dillinger Escape Plan metal van nu, zelfs Fantômas komt zo eens voorbij gefietst en Alvin en de Chipmunks zingen ook een deuntje mee, afgewisseld door grind stukken." (Headache Magazine)

"Merzbow, Autechre, Napalm Death, Khanate & Dillinger Escape Plan ineen, zoiets." (Oor)

"Daar waar ik soms Mr.Bungle al te erg vond, gaan deze gasten nog veel en veel verder." (Lords of Metal)

"terrorising your ears with banging stylechanges and a massive wall of sound" (Gothtronic)

"Panisch, krankzinnig en epileptisch" (Music Maker)

"De ritme- en stemmingwisselingen zetten je telkens op het verkeerde been: Primus met lachgas, Zappa op speed, Black Dice in het kort, Naked City unlimited." (KindaMuzik)

"Die verschiedensten Einflüsse werden durch einen Fleischwolf gedreht und in kurzer Würstchenform neu verpackt. Death-, Thrash-, Grindcoreattacken treffen auf Noise, Jungle, seltsamste Elektronikgebilde." (Earshot)

"a smorgasbord of intimidating blistering Death Metal beats coupled with weird electronica and industrial nuances" (Metal-Observer)
Type of Label: None

On the contrary to what most people believe, the name Cage! isn't an alias, that's his real name. On the other hand, Mathijs Beukema is an alter ego. His real name is Mkdrrn Lzfrrll. Most people outsi...
