The year 2007. Four young musicians are startled when the telephone rings…

The music dies away in the studio in Amsterdam. Just seconds before their mix of rockadelic powerpop with soulful vocals rocketed into space. This mix of sounds awarded them a place in the semi finals of the Amsterdamse Popprijs 2007 and they won the Popprijs Amstelland and Meerlanden 2008. The judges were really impressed by their guitar rock in the style of Skunk Anansie and Guano Apes alternated with peaceful songs like those of Anouk.

When the telephone is answered a voice asks: “You have a Collect Call from Mars, do you wish to accept the charges…?”.

FRET: “…the name, the appearance, the catchy songs and the musical performance are being embraced.”

3 voor 12: “The set is very diverse. Noisettes–like rock songs with a smile and a wink.”

Jasper van Vugt (OOR): “An energetic mix of guitar rock and alternative pop. The singer proves she has an excellent rock voice.”

P60: “The energy explodes from the stage!”
