Amsterdam, Netherlands (1998 – present)

Acda en de Munnik is a successful band in The Netherlands.

Thomas Acda and Paul de Munnik met at the Amsterdam Academy of Cabaret, where they decided to work together to make a theatre show. They arranged their first show after Thomas convinced a producer of their talents. The producer initially didn’t want to listen to any of their work, but Thomas was persistent. Eventually the producer asked Thomas about his strongest line of text. Thomas said, “Als je bij me weggaat, mag ik dan met je mee” (If you leave me, can I come with you), which convinced the producer.

[edit: he convinced “Huub van der Lubbe” (front man of “de dijk”) to give him lessons in lyric writing, as far as i know not his producer. They convinced their producer by playing at his office in stead of handing over a demo]

The audience of their first theatre shows appreciated the songs they wrote specially for the shows. These shows were released in 2002 on the 3-CD box “Trilogie”. The three shows are “Zwerf’on” (Wander On, 1996), “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans - John Lennon” and “It’s only cabaret but I like it”.
The theatre shows have comedy elements, but they contain serious stories as well.
Themes of Acda en de Munnik’s music and theatre work are love, broken-heartedness, enjoying life and fulfulling youth dreams.

In the summer of 1998, they had their breakthrough-hit with ‘Niet Of Nooit Geweest’. Several succesful albums followed, whilst still making shows and even a “Rock Opera”, ‘Ren Lenny Ren’ which was accompanied by the album ‘Liedjes van Lenny’.

    Ze waren trouwens weer tof in het theater gisteren. Verhaal van hun nieuwe voorstelling is flinterdun, maar de liedjes komen live beter tot hun recht vond ik.

    Het nieuwe album groeit wel bij elke keer luisteren. :)

    De Poema's is toch gewoon Acda en de Munnik met wat zwaardere gitaren? Ik zie niet in hoe je De Poema's slecht kunt vinden als je Acda en de Munnik wel goed vindt.

    Wat vinden jullie van het nieuwe album? Ik ben nog niet heel erg onder de indruk, maar het is een stuk minder catchy dus waarschijnlijk moet het groeien.

    http://www.last.fm/music/Acda+en+de+Munnik/+images/72634184 Kunnen jullie deze anders even omhoog stemmen? Is wat actueler.

    Dit is verschrikkelijk. Net als andere Similar Artists "De Dijk", "Jurk" "De Poema's" en natuurlijk Nederlands grootste misbaksels: "Bløf". O, wat zit onze nationale popgeschiedenis toch vol verschrikkingen.
