In case you missed it: we’re celebrating our 25y anniversary this year! We promised you throwbacks and the first one is definitely a weird one:

January 16, 2024: #5 TOP EXPORT PRODUCT

On this day in 2024 we were awarded “#5 Top Export Product” by BUMA Cultuur because of the amount of registered foreign shows in 2023. Since we were the only band in the top 10 Dutch media jumped on the news and what followed was a week of crazy interviews and publications on national media including De Telegraaf (biggest Dutch newspaper) saying we were raking in money abroad 😀

In the upcoming anniversary book we’ll dive deep into what happened that week and how we ended up on the BUMA Cultuur Top Export Product list.
Fun fact: we used the audio quote from the Van Roosmalen & Groenteman TV-show for our ANTILLECTUEEL EP.
