Netherlands (2003 – present)

Taking their name from a South African slang word meaning manic energy, Voicst are an indie/rock trio from Amsterdam.

The band members are: singer/guitarist Tjeerd, bass player Sven and drummer Joppe.

Support from influential Dutch media outlet 3Voor12 and The Dutch Pop Institute led the band to a slot at Lowlands, the huge Dutch festival, and also netted Voicst their first appearance at the New Yorks CMJ Music Conference. For three consecutive years they have played the Noorderslag music conference in Holland and toured Benelux with the likes of Bettie Serveert, Nada Surf, and Tenacious D.

In 2003 the band released their first recording: the six-song EP “Eat The Evidence” - to critical acclaim. While in New York in the summer of 2004 the band hooked up with producer and Girls Against Boys alumni, Eli Janney (The Rapture, Secret Machines) to record their first full-length album; 11-11. The album was mixed by Victor Van Vugt (Athlete, PJ Harvey, Beth Orton, Nick Cave) and released in Europe on the bands own label DuurtLang Records (A Dutch word which aptly translates to takes a long time)

Airplay on MTV Europe, Dutch radio, and at key US radio outlets joins critical accolades for

Whatever You Want From Life

3Voor12 recently named 11-11 Album of the Year, and Joppe was voted Drummer of the Year by his peers. Recently Voicst has been touring throughout Europe and North America, playing at festivals including Rock in Idro (Italy), Popkomm (Berlin), Benicassim (Spain), SXSW (Austin, TX) and supporting bands like The Bravery, The Posies and Millionaire.

Zeker één van de beste Nederlandse bands. Ik zag ze gisteren op De Beschaving. Was een geweldig gave gig die ze deden.

Vandaag 11-11 gekocht. Stond aan €7, maar ik ken Voicst niet, tenzij van één liedje te zien op de Nederlandse tv ofzo. Enkele liedjes beluisterd, en tot nu toe ben ik nog niet teleurgesteld ^_^

Echt ziek vette show op Pinkpop! Sowieso zijn ze al super live, maar met al die extra's werd het helemaal onvergeetbaar!

Drumstok gevangen op PinkPop! 8D Dat concert was echt te gék man, wat een performance... VER boven mijn verwachtingen! Al die extraatjes en alles maakten het echt één groot feest: de gasten (Pete Philly, C-mon & Kipsky), het "freezen", de roze konijnen (WTF? XD) en het crowd-varen op het rubber bootje... Die betekenis van't woord "Voicst" is wat mij betreft helemaal spot-on ;)
