AC Berkheimer is a Rotterdam, the Netherlands, based quartet formed in mid 2005. You could say they’re a shoegaze version of The Organ and Ladytron or maybe Electrelane meets My Bloody Valentine with the poppy side of Sonic Youth/Zoppo/Polvo or M83 without electronics.

According to Incendiarymag,com they would be Amsterdams darlings if they hadn’t been Dutch…but they are…so with a fanbase outside the Netherlands growing rapidly its time to focus on the rest of Europe.

The band released a 4-track demo in April 2006 and started performing live. They played Vera, Bitterzoet, Waterfront, ‘t Paard, Rotown and were invited to perform at The Music In My Head festival and the ZXZW festival. In the spring of 2007 the band teamed up with producer Corno Zwetsloot to create a first full length album. They got signed by a small independent record label, Subroutine and presented their debut album ‘In a series of long days’ in a sold out Rotown, Rotterdam in June 2008.
The record gained them a lot of positive media attention leading to airplay on Kink FM, BBC 6 and KEXP radio Seattle. In 2009 the record was released in Japan through Quince records and got a worldwide release on itunes.
June 2010 saw the release of ‘First in Line by Accident’, a free download EP, as the first step towards the release of their 2nd full length album, due for release in the autumn of 2010.
