Hans was the singer and playing keys in The Reverbs, a Dutch new wave band (1980-1983). In 1982 the band recorded 10 songs on a demo cassette tape.

It’s okay to call my 7th album a Gashunters guilty pleasure. Being a kid from the 60’s and 70’s I grew up in the best musical realms. On Denim Avenue I took some inspiration from the world of rock & roll & rhythm & blues. However big the influence is, this ‘tribute’ is not meant to be too straightforward. Typical Gashunters sound characteristics are never far away 🙂

Like always the lyrics are impregnated by social and personal themes. 7 of them are written by my songwriting partner Astrid, 5  by myself. On a bunch of songs my friend Martijn Hover participates on additional guitars and backing vocals. By the name of Papa Yabo he does his own musical thing.
