Since the Dutch trio of producers Kraak & Smaak released their first album 'Boogie Angst' worldwide in 2005, the boys' act has steadily grown into a well-respected force in today's international club and festival scene.
The first time the live band was put together and played was a one-off to promote the producers’ album. But after that show premiered in Amsterdam, with its energetic mix of funk, disco and house, plus a heavy dose of rock 'n roll attitude, the reaction convinced the band to embark on a follow up tour.
The current (5th) album Juicy Fruit, released last Summer, has seen the boys returning to the more organic sound of their debut record. As usual it contains some heavyweight collaborations, including Americans Mayer Hawthorne and Eric Biddiness, and Australians Parcels and Cleopold to name just a few. In the US, initial support comes from KCRW (Top Tune #1 for ‘Hands of Time’) and a #2 position in the USA’s College radio CMJ / RPM charts for I’Don’t Know Why’ .
