Hoorn, the Netherlands

Johan is a Dutch band formed around singer/guitarist Jacco de Greeuw, originated in Hoorn, the Netherlands. Johan plays Beatles-like guitar pop with English lyrics. They are praised by fans and critics for the well-crafted music and lyrics.

Currently, Johan consists of three other members besides Jacco: Maarten Kooijman(on guitar and vocals), Diets Dijkstra (guitar, bass guitar, vocals) and Jeroen Kleijn (on drums).

The original lineup consisted of the following four members: Jacco de Greeuw, Remco Krull, Niels de Wit and Wim Kwakman.

Johan usually takes a long time to produce a new album. After ‘Johan’ (1996) fans had to wait five years for ‘Pergola’ to be released in 2001. Another five years later, in 2006, ‘THX JHN’ came out. Unlike some people might think, ‘THX JHN’ is not meant as a farewell statement. According to Jacco, the next Johan album won’t be another five years wait.

More information (in Dutch) can be found on Johan on Dutch Wikipedia and on Johan’s official website.

Heerlijk, al vaker live gezien. Maar het mooiste optreden was toch in Venlo bij Sounds. Het podium was te klein dus er kon geen drumstel op, maar jullie hadden het super opgelost. Geweldig. Ware vakmensen! Ware musici!

I've only heard a few songs by them off of a SpinART label sampler I picked up but based solely on those tracks I love this band. I now need to find some albums.
