Amsterdam, Netherlands (2004 – present)
a balladeer is a Dutch band, built around frontman Marinus de Goederen, that makes melancholic ballads and catchy popsongs. After their debut-EP ‘Rumor Had It’ (4 tracks, 2004) began the long process of making their first album, for a long time without a record company and with their own money. Ronald Vanhuffel (Bløf) produced the album. Peter Slager (Bløf) played bass and Robert Kirby (Nick Drake, Elton John, Paul Weller) made the string arrangements.
Eventually they were signed by EMI and album ‘Panama’ hit the stores May 2006 and debuted at 30. Three singles were released; ‘Swim With Sam’ (May ‘06),’Fortune Teller’ (August ‘06) and ‘Robin II’ (February ‘07). In September 2006 they were surprisingly nominated for a TMF Award (kind of like the MTV Awards, TMF is the Dutch part of the company MTV) as ‘best newcomer’. Unfortunately a balladeer didn’t win the award.
2006 is a big year in the history of a balladeer, because they planned their first solo-tour through the Netherlands. Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and several other cities are being honored with a visit of a balladeer.
In February 2007 a balladeer won a Zilveren Harp and in April the band was nominated for a 3FM Award in the category Best Newcomer.
Later that year Marinus, Tijs and Erik started working on their second album titled ‘Where Are You, Bambi Woods?’. It is due on 1 September 2008. First single is called ‘Mary Had A Secret’.

They show us how America and its inhabitants really are... There are a lot of people (I know their number is decreasing but still) in America who support the troops over there. Nobody knows why...

I guess they mean the Dutch soldiers in Iraq, who try to get the peace back.

Do these dudes really say they pray for the soldiers in Iraq on the song America America? Is that some kind of dutch humor or do they really feel that god will help people kill other people - to commit the most vile sin of all?

A balladeer :gruppo abbastanza efficiente ,poichè abbraccia con una certa eterogeneità musicale finalizzata all'estemporaneità diretta al pubblico.

Inmiddels al weer een tijdje geleden, maar naar het geweldige concert in de Melkweg geweest! Wauw, dat was écht goed. Favorieten van Where Are You, Bambi Woods?: When Dean was the man and Monroe always smiled, Oh California en Welcome to Vegas. (Nog even de favorieten van Panama: Pre-Berlin, Summer en Swim with Sam, alhoewel ik eigenlijk de meeste nummer erg goed vind.)
