Dear people, I've given it a good thought and well..

stylistic, artistic and music wise.
I want to thank you for all your support during the full ten years of having been Dishking!

Wishing you all a MOST BEAUTIFUL 2019! Hope to excite you with new things this year, for who ever supports me & the band, thanks!

February 14th 2018, Valentine's Day at the Patronaat (Haarlem, NL), it's been a great 'first' show with the new bandmembers!
DISHKING was founded in 2008, now 10 YEAR's later!
Welp.. No luck with a label for a physical album this year BUT we'll keep our head up high, excited for Plan B!
* 2 EP's will be published online during this year to keep DK rumbling, as a FREE GIVEAWAY (+ to be streamed), especially for YOU!
(I'm writing new material as we speak).
* Shooting new vids/photo's in the very near future.
Dear People, I'm busy with a new band around 'Dishking' and found me these talented cool musicians who took seats on the Dishking train, it may not roll fast yet...but it rolls! Proud of how it all sounds, it's fueling the engine and can't wait till this thing takes a go!
We had a good time there and we'll probably be back 'round April 2018 for the Instore Record Day, this time with a physical album for you!
Here are some pictures of last weekend's Blues & Rock festival in Oosterhout. It was a special evening, debut for the backing vocalist (Klaudia) and partly for the drummer/percussionist (Marek), felt great performing again and having seen all the people enjoying our show, including ourselves. Hope to see you next time!
My 1O1 Album is out on itunes/spotify amongst other platforms.. for a second time!
Why would that be you might think? To tell you, perhaps some of you had noticed. I took down the whole album since the publisher decided to ask yearly annuel fees despite the previous conditions of paying a one time fee per release, whether it be a single or album..
Which means; I'll keep paying for my own music, just to have it streaming.. Now since it took a lot of time, sweat, tears and money making the 1O1 album in the first place, it doesn't make sense to follow through on such sudden change.
Specially when the revenue of music streams isn't high. Matter a fact, pretty darn low, about an average of 0,004 per stream. That is, if your music is being streamed at all so I think you would agree on that one.
My Dishking promo EP's are ready for tomorrow's gigs & interview! I'll be in 'Fryslân' this time visiting 'Noardewyn Live' with presentator Willem de Vries and will be the supporting act for artist 'Jack Bottleneck' at Het Bolwerk (Sneek, NL) later that day!
Let's make it happen, a beautiful year for you all and I hope you'll achieve your goals and wishes in most respectful ways!
My goals for this year; A new physical album, both on CD & vinyl, illustrated by my own drawings/artwork and performing the best I can, making you feel good, to have you loving what I do!
I've finished a new song of mine called 'New Rock and Roller', hope you'll like it!
It's already on iTunes/Spotify and to be purchased directly via my bandcamp.
I'm editing some special footage to use for the live show at Café Oud Brabant, tonight!
I'll be playing live, most all new songs and with a band behind me, I hope to see You! FREE Entrance and a complete show, let's make it an enjoyable night together! :) We'll start at around 10pm..
Today my 'summertime' song named 'At the Water' came out on itunes/spotify/amazon/googleplay etc.
Here's a 'aftermovie' from Lauw als een Pauw, recorded last weekend during my gig at de Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam, it was such fun to do and so cool they made this short video to give us an impression of the night.
Right now I'm back recording and rehearsing a for upcoming shows.
To already have a little 'sneak peak' here's a preview promo video for you to check out, enjoy or share!
September 2015, appreciation, enjoyment and theatreshow!
After such a cool weekend having played at the Blues & Roots festival Oosterhout and during the preview night at theatre DonckHuys Dongen I'm preparing for the theatreshow upcoming September 20th!
Check out itunes/spotify, amazon and numerous platforms all over the world or at Dishking's soundcloud!
The singer and songwriter from Holland known as DishKing has released his latest single, “L'amour C'est Toi.” The track is a shadowy, blues-fueled song with elements of 1960s French pop which showcases yet another facet of this multifarious musician, a side which his legion of longtime fans in Europe and abroad will be enthusiastic to meet. Dark, masculine and as tonally stylish as it is lyrically evocative, “L'amour C'est Toi” by DishKing is the latest reason for audiophiles around the world to introduce themselves to this masterful sculptor of blues, pop and rock music.
DishKing's former LP albums, “Sell Yourself in Gold” and “The Power of a Loaded Gun,” were released under the AG Music umbrella and continue to garner him fans around the world. His new “L'amour C'est Toi” single joins his more-recent “101” full-length album – the popularity of which seems to grow with every passing month – as an independent release on his own DishKing Records music label.
DishKing's repertoire is widely varied, so much so that the artist once commented, “What kind of music? You tell me. Even more so, if you like it, tell the whole world.” Nevertheless, he has cited as main artistic influences David Bowie, Ry Cooder, Daniel Lanois, T-Bone Burnett, Johnny Cash, Quentin Tarantino, Goldfrapp, Elvis Presley, Mark Lanegan, and the Queens of the Stone Age. Whether or not his fans will be surprised at the nuances à la Serge Gainsbourg in his new single is anyone's guess – but it's absolutely certain that they're going to love it. “L'amour C'est Toi,” indeed.
“L'amour C'est Toi” by DishKing is available online worldwide. Get in early, music fans. Very early.
