Their biggest hits include In nije dei, Woorden zonder Woorden, Hart van mijn gevoel, Eltse grins foarby, Raak, Een teken van leven and Zo Jong. Their songs are mainly in Dutch, although some songs, like In nije dei and Eltse grins foarby, are written in Frisian, which is solely spoken in the northern province of The Netherlands, Fryslân.
During the high times of De Kast the band consisted of Syb van der Ploeg (vocals/guitar), cousin Peter van der Ploeg (lead guitar), Kees Bode (keyboards), Sytse Broersma (bass guitar) and Nico Outhuijse (drums).
The band formed in 1985 under the name of Wish to Escape at local high school in Dokkum. Peter van der Ploeg, who worked there as a janitor, approached student Kees Bode to become member of a new rock band. Peter's cousin Syb joined in, together with good friend Dikkie Visser, the band's original drummer. A fifth original member soon left the band. This resulted in 1987 in Sytse Broersma joining as the new bass player, and for a short time, as the new singer too, after Syb van der Ploeg had briefly quit the band.
In the late eighties Wish to Escape had several gigs, whether it be on camp sites or in small pubs. During that time the idea of a very own studio album arose, which led to the recording of the self-titled album Wish to Escape, an album with symph-rock influences. In order to play more gigs in local discotheques, the band formed a new top-100 cover band called Goldrush. Alongside the name Wish to Escape in fact disappeared.
Soon Goldrush was booked all over the country, and, by gradually performing more and more of their own Dutch songs during the gigs, the band gained the attention of record company CNR. By that time the band had already changed its name to The Cast, but soon all agreed on adopting a more Dutch band name to match the Dutch repertoire. Thus the name De Kast was born.
De Kast were mostly successful during the late '90s scoring several hits in the Netherlands. They are best known for their #1 hit In neije dei.
