DARLING ROOSTER

About Me

DARLING ROOSTER We are not porcelain poultry, but a rock band from the famous Dutch cheese town of Gouda. The name Darling Rooster is a literal translation of the word “snoeshaan”, which is a “peculiar person” as well as a “braggart”, and is supposed to sound bluesy. The first Roosters emerged from their mutual eggshell in 2002. At present there’s five of us and we play two guitars, a bass guitar, keys, drums and do some singing in the process. Being true to our name, we have developed a bluesy-pop-rocky sound of our own, at times seasoned with pinches of funk, jazz, Celtic influences or even reggae. The trained ear might notice influences of bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Police, Wolfmother, Soundgarden, Frank Zappa, Rory Gallagher, Pearl Jam, John Lennon, Cream, Wishbone Ash, The Hunters/Jan Akkerman, Focus, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, Brainbox and others. Over the years of our existence, we have played all around the Netherlands, given a few concerts in the Czech Republic and become a landmark in the Green Heart of Holland.
