From an early age Roel kept himself busy with finding new sounds and creating music. As GOSTO he and his live band melt the worlds of acoustic and electronic music together into one dubby trip-hop sound; raw, dark but still colourful.
Inspired by traveling, chaos and love as well as artists such as Flying Lotus, James Blake, Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley, GOSTO balances between fragile melodies and electronic extravaganza. In his song writing, he thrives to let you experience the thin line between simplicity and complexity. GOSTO takes you to places that you seem to recognize, but not yet have been before.
Roel’s band exists out of musicians how create a tight sound, despite of their totally different background. These four virtuosos have the ability play a ground shaking energetic but still very controlled live-show. Expect thrilling melodies, catchy vocals and deep, deep synths.
In June 2014, GOSTO released his debut EP (premiered on Noisey) and was amongst others support act for How to Dress Well.
GOSTO can be seen at several festivals and at different clubs.
GOSTO band:
Roel Vermeer: Vocals, synths & samples
Mats Voshol: Drums
Reindert Kragt: Bass & synthbass
Luc Schouten: Guitar

Lucky Night
gosto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the days
of the week
where do they go
Disappeared
like a dream
Memories
come and fade
all the time
Skipping back
to that night
in sublime
Getting to know you was my lucky night
Wish I could you see again in a similar light
Getting to know you was my lucky night
Wish I could meet you again for the first time
What we share
is the past
and the moment
But what is there
left for us
us to do
Future comes
like a stone
always rolling
Makes it hard
hard to hold
on to you

I Keep on holding on
Persistently clinging to the hope of a positive outcome
All the days of the week where do they go
Wondering about the passage of time and its impact on life
Disappeared like a dream up in smoke
Vanishing suddenly and unexpectedly, like a fleeting dream
Memories come and fade all the time
Recollections surface and then diminish constantly
Skipping back to that night in sublime
Reflection on a particular night with nostalgic appreciation
Getting to know you was my lucky night
Encountering you was a moment of good fortune
Wish I could you see again in a similar light
Desiring to perceive you once more with the same positive view
What we share is the past and the moment
Our connection exists within both our shared history and our present interactions
But what is there left for us us to do
Questioning the potential actions and decisions available to us
Future comes like a stone always rolling
The upcoming events approach relentlessly, much like a rolling stone
Makes it hard hard to hold on to you
Struggling to maintain a connection with you amid the uncertainty of the future
