you don't have to worry no more. you won't be bored.

('crappydog', track from: 'iwan' / sonic rendezvous)
There will always be artists who will do exactly what they want, , apart from all trends and hypes. Erik Vandenberge is such a person. The lyrics above come from a time that Erik was floating on dutch waters with just a guitar. After armytent-record 'tent&oilysmoke', caravan-album 'sleeping in the closet' and boat-cd 'iwan', Erik 's back with a new album recorded in a barn called: 'Crappydog sure aint getting any younger', that is available since november2009 (SonicRendezvous) Erik is not on his own anymore, but is being accompanied now by a complete gang of crappydogs. These rogues of the dutch-alternative-music-scene, manage to conjure a unique crappy-sound from their musical-intstruments. Even more than on record, these gentlemen take on rollicking and sweating like a herd of mad dogs, in the street or on stage. Or like dutch actor Frank Lammers says: 'just when you think you've seen it all, suddenly comes this band that you've never seen before..' Crappydog keeps things simple and real, just a few cords and not one word too many. Musically unruly, against the grain, unrestrained, ingenious, driven, raw, stomping, pure and blunt. Their credo: 'don't rehearse; play!' Photographer Daniel Baggerman made a stopmotion video for the single 'dark' composed of 13000 photographs..Crappydog is: Erik Vandenberge, music lyrics vocals guitars accordion sadleboxdrum and clogs - Nathanael Boelen, doublebass and saw - Arnout Brinkman, baritone saxophone - Elmore James van Doodewaard, drums. Food for all lovers of: Morphine, Seasick Steve, John Spencer, Stuurbaard Bakkebaard, Captain Beafheart, Man Man, Tom Waits, Baptist Generals, ClawBoysClaw, SixteenHorsepower, FredMcdowell, GLove, RaggendeManne, JLHooker, KingKahn&BBQ, Leadbelly, SonHouse, ManoNegra, DevendraBanhart...etc. Tags: ExplosionFolk, Garageblues, SleazySwampSound, CrazyMadness & FragileRawBeauty.. Above all, Crappydog comes up with such a unique sound, that writing about it is pointless. Go and listen, come and watch, take your wife, kids and al your friends with you; Sometimes the world is more pretty for just a little while..
