First of all the best wishes to you all and a rockin'2007!!

Second; we'd like to thank all our friends and family for coming to our christmas gig in the Paradiso, and making it a special night. ( the pic's will be up here soon, you can check a movie from that gig here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94IXZWLHZuE thanks to Nikos & Sofia).

Third, here in holland there is something called the NightliveXS awards, this can raise quite some extra attention to DriveByWire as newcoming band of the year...so it would be really cool if you could spare the 2 minutes to fill in the voting list.

first you have register here: http://www.livexs.nl/registreer.php ( wachtwoord means password, geboortedatum means date of birth etc.).

second you have login in here http://www.livexs.nl/login.php and fill in the voting form. At the part called " Beste nieuwkomer op podia en festivals" ( it means best newcomer at stages and festivals)you can enter DriveByWire. At "wat willen we niet meer horen of zien in 2007"you can enter what you don't want to see or hear anymore in the year 2007.

Thanks!



Alwin & Simone.

ve By Wire - Drive By Wire

(My FirstSonnyWelsmuller Recordings) Total Time: 45:10

I really enjoyed the music of Holland’s Drive By Wire. The fact is that I often caught myself unable to focus on the review writing because the CD was still on my player and the music was filling the room. But the review has to be finished, because I am sure that there are a lot of people out there still unaware of this great band that features the drummer of “The Gathering”, Hans Rutten in the line up. Mentioning “The Gathering” it would be a good idea to use their music –Nighttime Birds album period-as a starting point in here, but it is only a starting point do not expect a The Gathering-clone band because things here are a little more different and complex.
Drive By Wire offers a melodic mixture of Acid Rock stuff with atmospheric musical touches, 70s Heavy Rock inspired guitar riffing and a wonderful female voice by Simone Holsbeek. Mentioning female vocals I would add that Anneke Van Giersbergen (The Gathering) participates in three tracks offering her beautiful voice to the listeners. The journey has already started and the listener follows magnetized… Ten songs in total included in this magnificent CD, keep on listening and you will discover little musical touches influenced by bands like Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth. The final musical puzzle full of emotions belongs to Drive By Wire, a unique, strange and beautiful result and the listener wants to break the puzzle again into thousand pieces just to be able to re-collect the pieces and re-create it during a new musical journey. A must buy.


Reviewer: Chris Papadakis


_____________________________________________________________


The Netherlands are filled with windmills, wooden shoes, and of course psychedelic stoner rock. Drive by Wire mixes distorted guitars and haunting female melodies to make for an enjoyable listen.

At first listen DBW have a very strong Sonic Youth sound. This may be in part to lead vocalist Simone Holsbeek’s monotone Kim Gordon-esque delivery. But as the album unravels itself more and more, it reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age smoking way too much refer. This is not a bad thing; overall the album has a very haunting feeling. Depressing, slow riffs abound on this nice slab of Dutch alt rock.

So, feel free to listen to sadness drenched grooves from this female led group. I really doubt you will be disappointed.

Hello there dudes & dudettes,

Sorry for not staying on top of communication as we should have been,
but we were quite busy conceiving cunning little plans for music world
domination..;-).

So we've got quite a few things going on that we wanna share with you,
our good friends & fans;

MONDAY the 9TH of JULY 8 pm sharp we'll be opening for the illustrious
heroes of MUDHONEY, whadda ya say about that....this wonderfull event
will take place in the best venue of Holland, the Tivoli in Utrecht.
We hope you'll join us to preach the good and greasy word of heavy
Rock!! Hell-eluja! praise the Rock!

(for details check out http://www.tivoli.nl)


Furthermore we got a raving review on stonerrock.com, the holy grail
of stonerrock media ( whats in a name),

http://stonerrock.com/forums2/allposts. ... elf+Titled

If you haven't have our album yet, and wanna listen to it rather then
reading about it, it is also available through cdbaby , especially
great news for you living in the USA....

http://cdbaby.com/cd/drivebywire

We're still busy working on new material for the 2nd album ( expected
release spring 2008) we've played some songs live during the last
couple of gigs, and they were a blast!
Speaking of gigs; early september we'll be off for a couple of days
touring in the UK....Wowee!!!we'll keep you posted about our UK
adventures then.
And speaking of tours....we've played all throughout Netherlands with
the Poettracks event, a really interesting and different way of
playing our songs.(We were invited to create music to a poem of
H.Mullisch, a great experience.)

And speaking of events, we're selected with a few other lucky bands to
participate in the Popronde, providing us with even more great gigs in
the Netherlands.This will happen in the fall.Keep checking our website
and our MySpace site for the latest update.

If you're not tired of reading yet, we've got some more for ya ( if
you understand dutch), a nice review of a DriveByWire liveshow;



http://3voor12lokaal.vpro.nl/magazines/ ... ews=542071


Ok, that's it for now,

Hell yeah!!

Cheers n'beers,
Alwin & Simone & Remco.
