Have a Go Heroes

Have a Go Heroes are four driven musicians from all corners of the Netherlands who found each other in a search for something as simple as good songs. The mix of four people as different as you can find with four tastes in music as different as you can find, leads to great results.

Since 2003 Have a Go Heroes is charging the stages, moving audiences from Amsterdam to Eindhoven and even in Belgium. Have a Go Heroes never looses sight of the song.

In 2006 Have a Go Heroes reached the finals of the Rijn en Wouden popprijs. They where voted ‘audiences choice’.

In January 2007 the Heroes entered three songs for Ongekendtalent.nl. Twenty-one days later the song Precious Pain reached the fourth place in the ‘Ongekend Talent Ultieme TOP40’. They held on to this 4th place for two days.

On the 16th of June 2007 the Heroes will contend in the BeNeLux finals of Emergenza for a place on the international finals on the Taubertal Festival in Germany. The Heroes are the highest scoring Dutch band in Emergenza.

That same weekend the Heroes will also play the finals for a place at Best Fest.

Recently the band has released their new CD ‘Snakes and Ladders’. It takes the melodic pop music of the debut album to a new (more mature) level. The road from the second EP Into the Fire (2004) to ‘Snakes and Ladders’ was a long turbulent journey in which the band has reinvented their selves several times. Different band members and a new name have led to a formation that stands like a mountain.

Even before ‘Snakes and Ladders’ was pressed the band started writing a new album. There are so many new idea’s that for a second the band considered not releasing ‘Snakes and Ladders’ at all. But going straight on to the next cd.

“A fantastic alternateve rockband in the stile of the Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows or Live,” according to Jeroen Havelaar of Emergenza.

“with Something Has Left My Mind they got a song with hit potential” (juryrapport Rijn en Wouden Popprijs).

We play live as often as we can wherever we can. For us our gig in 013 Tilburg was something special. It was on the main stage of one of the largest clubs of the Netherlands

Our influences are to divers. But our sound is Pop Rock. We aim to make songs that we think would play well on the radio.
