Biography
Fryslân (1985 – present)
After a four-year break, the band are back together again for a small number of gigs. Their songs are mainly Dutch, although some songs, like the ballad In Nije Dei, are written in their native language Frisian, which is solely spoken in the northern province of The Netherlands, Fryslân.
During the high times of De Kast the band consisted of Syb van der Ploeg (vocals/guitar), cousin Peter van der Ploeg (lead guitar), Kees Bode (keyboards), Sytse Broersma (bass guitar) and Nico Outhuijse (drums).
Their biggest hits include the smashing success In Nije Dei, Woorden zonder Woorden, Hart van mijn gevoel, Raak, Een teken van leven and Zo Jong. Over the course of 18 years De Kast released no less than six studio albums, five live albums (due to a widely respected live reputation), and numerous videos and dvd’s. Highlight in their career was performing in front of 90.000 people in the Vitesse Arnhem football stadium in January 2000.
The band formed in 1985 under the name of Wish To Escape at local high school in Dokkum. Peter van der Ploeg, who worked there as a janitor, approached student Kees Bode to be member of a new rock band. Peter’s cousin Syb joined in, together with good friend Dikkie Visser, the band’s original drummer. A fifth original member soon left the band.

... dit gaat spelen op Dokk'em open air? Of het is een grapje of de roostermaker heeft een grote fout gemaakt.

De Kast, ik noem het een echte Nederlandstalige klassieker en ook al ben ik jong, de muziek is om van te genieten.
