Biografie van Cradle
CRADLE
The alternative lo-fi band Cradle (which started as Johans solo-project after quiting Flowers for Francis) was born on September 15, 1996 in Rotterdam, Holland.
After playing about everywhere around Holland and some European countries, Cradle decided to call it a day on August 1, 2004.
It was time to review and start all over. They changed their name into the rare, but continued beeing Cradle again in August 2007.
Since August 2007, Cradle was a duo most of the time: Henk and Johan together with a drummachine and sequencer. Peter, the drummer, joined them on occasion.
After three gigs Henk and Johan decided to look for a permanent drummer again.
It took a few auditions, but since March 2008 Gilbert is now the man behind the kit.
But, he was not the only one joining the band: Nina (guitar) completed the line up in March as well.
Some past Cradle-highlights:
Cradle supported 16 Horsepower, Johan, The Suburbs and performed live in France, Germany, England and Holland.
Many radiosessions were aired and also some acoustic sets were on the bill.
Early 2001 they won a bandcontest: De Kleine Prijs van Dordt.
Late 2001 a videoclip was shown on the Dutch music-channel TMF.
Line up (since 2008)
Gilbert - drums
Henk - bass
Nina - guitar
Johan - guitar and voice.
Cradles typical sound and performance is raw, intens, hypnotic, loaded, pure and basic.
Lets reanimate and Enjoy the Feeling!
