All the music you'll find here by Mizzars, are recent home demo recordings. My music is sometimes rock, sometime funk, sometimes singer/songwriter and sometimes just noisy whatever. And a bit of retro 80's here and there. Most of the time I do all instruments and vocals, sometimes my Indian friend Radja appears at the mike. I hope you'll enjoy it. My favorite song right now is 'I am'. The sound quality is bad, but I like it as a song. Hope you do too! Give me feedback.
Band/artist history
I Started as a rhythm guitarist in a band named 'Honger' in 1984. Next year I became lead singer of a Ramones, New York Dolls, Stooges inspired group, called 'TV Babys', with Ro Krom ('OlaBola', 'Ro & paradise Funk', 'Gotcha!) on drums and Arnold Smits ('Raggende Manne'' Ro & paradise Funk', 'Gotcha!) on guitar. In 1987 I formed the band 'Lonely Hearts Killers', wich was the first band for me in wich I wrote most of the songs. After that, in 1988 or so, I had a lot of fun with a seventees cover band (all dressed up for the glam rock show) called 'Gouwe Klauwe', with Martijn Bosman ('Kane') on drums E-Bone ('Gotcha!') on bass. In the in the early ninetees I joined Holland's #1 P-Funk group "Gotcha!" (I was out of a band since 'Gotcha!' stole E-Bone from 'Gouwe Klauwe'). With 'Gotcha!' I had a nice time, but also a hard time combining roles such as booker, manager, roadmaneger, backing vocalist & friend. In the same period (1990-1993), I also did some lead- and backing vocals in the band 'Psychotic Bumbschool', wich was a coalition of some Parliament Funkadelic members, dutch top guitarist Wouter Planteyd (o.a Sjako!) and some Gotcha! members. Rollarocka/Shyrock ('Postmen') was one of the other vocalists in this group, as well as Irepeat ('Beef'). This was my last 'professional' band I played with. Ever since I just play music as a hobby and let go of the idea of making money with music. For me, that had only lead to trouble sofar. Eversince I enjoy making music much more! So....that worked out fine. It's hard for a Dutch artist to live from his music, you see, and the constant struggle was killing me at a certain point. Now I enjoy the music again and can do exactly what I want to do, without thinking of money, carreer, industry etc. To go for short: I'm happy. Although my music sounds a bit down sometimes. We'll that's just the way it is.

Um...
This could definitely be on the Lion King soundtrack. It's kinda tribal. I donno if that's a good thing or not. I wish I could clearly hear the lead singer's vocals instead of a group of people. I'm not really feelin it.

originality!
Cool intro. You guys are very original. I love the vocal effects. The words are kinda hard to understand.. and the mood is so good that I really want to understand what you are saying. Mix of music would solve all the problems. You remind me a lot of Polyphonic Spree. Considering it sounds like you recorded it at home, it is an awesome , creative song. Very good. I'm going to check the rest of your stuff.

original as it can get
I really like this because there really isn't anything on the planet sounds quite like this. It's almost like alternative gospel. It's like inverted praise music. Giving any pointers to this music, however, is sort of difficult because it is really a musical universe where most of what I think wouldn't make much sense, if that makes any sense. Well, in general, I am saying you are doing a good job simply because it's so original. And these days, originality is so amazing that this kinda gets me misty in the eyes.

Let's see...
The song begins with a slightly muted drum beat, which develops with synthesized sounds out of the left and right ear. The vocals seem to have *a lot* of flange and chorus on them, which is a rather unusual sound, but it's not bad. Who do you sound like? Well, the vocal experimentation reminds me of Joseph Arthur on Come to where I'm from or Redemption's son (two very good albums). The mood is laid back, yet thoughtful, I suppose. I think you should reduce the flanging a bit, because it makes some of the notes appear off-key. Also, perhaps you could turn up the electric in the center of the mix -- it sounds pretty nice. There's a bit of a "men at work" vibe from the song, probably because of the chorus of voices.

Bloody good!!
There are so many elements to this which shouldn't work but really bloody does. It's unique and original without being wanky and out of the realm of most listeners. A simple and catchy song that holds integrity because it’s unique and something different (which are about the same thing really).
In a nutshell, awesome. Should be more of it. Looking forward to finding out more about you.
