In 2001 the band Redivider lost keyboard player Diederik Nomden. The remaining members began what is now known as Alamo Race Track. They felt that Nomden's departure affected the band's sound, so they took on a new band name, Alamo Race Track. Under this name, David Corel, Guy Bours, Len Lucieer and Ralph Mulder started to record new demo tracks.
After supporting Daryll-Ann on a tour in early 2002, Excelsior Recordings signed the band. The following year the band played many high profile shows, resulting in good reviews from various Dutch magazines.

 

Three years after her triple platinum album Hotel New York, Anouk is back with a vengeance. Who’s Your Momma is her fifth studio album and it is her most versatile and ambitious album so far.
Last summer, Anouk traveled to Los Angeles - the Mecca of rock music - to start working on Who’s Your Momma with world-famous producer Glen Ballard, known for his work with Alanis Morrisette, No Doubt and Michael Jackson to name but a few, and the winner of five Grammy Awards. He’d been at the top of Anouk’s wish-list for a while, but seemed out of reach. Under the guise of ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ she sent him a few demos to convince him to work with her anyway. Says Anouk, “He called me two days later and said ‘I’ll make time for you; let’s do it!’”

Inspired by Roy Orbison, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Isaak and Lucinda Williams, Danny bought his first guitar in New Orleans 16 years ago; a Gretch hollow body. This all-American guitar would help him come as close as possible to the sound of his hero's. In 2009 Danny crossed the ocean once again, to record his fourth studio album with local musical artists. The result: a very un-Dutch and mature production, that not only represents Danny's musical ambitions and songwriting capabilities, but also shows he knows how to present his music.
