'Rocky komt altijd terug', BUURMAN's debut album, received multi-star reviews in the Flemish press, the BUURMEN received numerous invitations for television appearances (on the likes of: Villa Vanthilt, Laatste Show, Zevende Dag, Peter Live) and various radio stations played five singles from the debut album in the highest possible airplay rotations ('God, ik en Marjon', 'Pas 18', 'Midddellandse Zee', 'Rocky', 'Mooi weer en fruitsla').
But that wasn't all: Frontman Geert Verdickt and his companions turned out to possess the fire, drive & jive to magically transform every show into a true experience. Verdict: ”Close your eyes and watch our film, feel what we mean.”
It wasn't without reason that weekly magazine Knack labelled BUURMAN the revelation of summer festival Dranouter, and De Standaard chose the duet with BUURMAN and Yevgueni as the moment of NEKKA 2009.
So debut album 'Rocky' hit the nail on the head but the second BUURMAN album, due to be released at the end of 2010, will be even more impressive!
More than ever, BUURMAN searches for authenticity. More than ever Verdickt refines himself in the art of writing 'films' with astute words. Films that you can view with your eyes closed, with a vivid soundtrack, about the here and the now, the little things but also the big things, the melancholy things but also the merry things ... Verdickt: ”Het pure ... ja dat vooral: het pure.”
Come, sit, see, listen ... feel and experience.
