YELLOFOX

Thursday 2 November 2023 2023

Yellofox‘s unique sound is a wonderful psychedelic mix of Indie Americana and folk in an unmistakable seventies sound. Yellofox are primarily musical storytellers with lot of strings and a lot of vocals. But it is above all the unbridled energy and passion that splashes off the stage during a live performance that makes Yellofox unique.

Yellofox’s music is influenced by the great songwriters of the sixties and seventies. Think Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Gram Parsons, Jackson Brown. And with the magical cello of Jorieke de Vet, you can hear Nick Drake in the distance. But what is the most striking is the special harmony vocals of Jorieke de Vet and Marc Mosmans, the artistic heart of Yellofox. The voices find each other seamlessly in polyphonic melodies that take you back to America of yesteryear. Yellofox makes music that moves you.

Marc and Jorieke share the same passion for storytelling. Both in music and in the documentaries they make together. It’s recognizable human emotions that they write about. Doubts, happiness, desire and amazement fill the lyrics of the songs and with them an evening of Yellofox. ‘Tomorrow will be gone, but this is today’. is the special title of their debut album. And if we tell you that their second album is entitled: For the Dreamers’, you have a pretty good idea what they are all about.

The whole evening will be presented by no one less than Pat Smith

Supports: Melle de Boer and Oliver Pesch

Melle de Boer (The Hague) grew up with music by American singer-songwriters. He graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam in 1995. In addition to his work as a visual artist, he formed the band Smutfish in the late summer of 2002. The debut album from 2003; “Lawnmower Mind” full of zeitgeist and melancholic existentialism is considered the founder of the Dutch ‘Country Noir’. De Volkskrant writes about ‘gems, resting on a bed of beautifully expressed male suffering.’ In January 2015 the album “Trouble” will be released by Excelsior Recordings.
In 2019 Melle tours with Johnny Dowd through the Netherlands, Belgium and England in 2018. More albums to follow. Including the album Smetvis, with Dutch translations of Melle’s songs by Freek de Jonge, Levi Weemoedt, Lieke Marsman and Maartje Wortel, among others. With Henk Koorn of Hallo Venray, Melle records several albums with which he tours the Netherlands with Henk as Henk and Melle.

With his debut Kid With The Dice, Oliver Pesch showcases his talent as a storyteller and versatility as an artist: every song has a fresh perspective and stylistic inspiration. The Rotterdam musician guides the listener through the twists and turns of fate within his own family history (“The Larger Side Of Life”) and human history in general (“Mesopotamia”).
