Compaired to bands like Paramore, Boys Like girls and the Maine in the press, MakeBelieve tries to define their own sound. “You’ll have a hard time comparing us to other bands,” say lead-singer Joey and drummer Pim, both founders of the band. Since the band’s start in 2006, the band made a quick start, playing many sold out shows on the Destine tour, opened for big acts like 30 Second to Mars and Paramore to getting invited to play at the biggest music festival in Europa, SZIGET in Boedapest, Hungary! “And this is just the beginning,” says guitarist Marvin. MakeBelieve has a young and fanatic audience/fanbase. Soon the critical music press were impressed as well. “It’s like a dream coming true for us,” says bass player Jasper. “Yeah, all the hard work pays off,” adds guitarist Bjorn, and “but thats just the start. We have big plans with our music.” In April 2010 the band released their first single “From The Start” which immediatly got picked up by national radiostation 3fm and put the catchy powerpop-rock track on their playlist, after they got the highly acclaimed status of Serious Talent. In the first week of May they shot the music video, which -a month later- has been viewed more then 33.000 times on Youtube. The future looks bright and the plans look good. In August the band will release their second single, followed by a tour till the end of 2010. This will put MakeBelieve definitly on the map. |The new powerpop/rock sensation is on the run! |Facts| * PLAYED AT SZIGET (Hungary) AND LOWLANDS (India Stage) 2010! |* Single Release “Another Night At The Disco”, August 2010 |* Single Release “From The Start”, April 2010 |* 3FM SERIOUS TALENT, April & May 2010 |* Touring from January till April 2010 as support act with Destine (venues like: Vera, P3, 013, Atak, Paradiso, Tivoli) |* Played as support-act for 2 x 30 seconds to mars (Heineken Music Hall & 013), Paramore (USA, Melkweg), You Me At Six (UK), Good Charlotte (USA), Di-rect (NL), Nailpin (BE), Intwine (NL)|* We were guest twice(!) on the Dutch Music TV-channel TMF!|* Interviews in magazines like Fret, Cosmogirl, TED, Fancy, Dagblad van het Noorden, UP Magazine |* Played live at national radiostations 3FM (DJ Giel Beelen, Freaknacht), 100% NL and Kink FM! * PLAYED AT EUROSONIC 2009 & 2010! |Bookings:| Jeps Salfischberger|Mojo Concerts|[email protected]|Phone:+31 (0) 15 2159555 |www.livenation.nl |Management:|Andries van Wieren|[email protected]|T:+31 (0) 511 425 323 |M:+31 (0) 6 22 11 44 06 |www.3smusic.eu |www.makebelieve.nl|www.myspace.com/thebandmakebelieve|www.makebelieveband.hyves.nl|www.twitter.com/makebelieveband|www.youtube.com/makebelieveofficial |
