Van Dik Hout (25th Anniversary)

The band Van Dik Hout, founded in Den Helder, came in 1994 with their self-titled debut album, with which they instantly managed to hit the top of the Dutch hit list. Van Dik Hout became their most successful album, partly because of the hit single "Stil in Mij". Singer Martin Buitenhuis created his own sound by songs with inspiration from rock, grunge and pop. The debut can certainly be labeled as a real Dutch classic.From the first meeting between Van Dik Hout's band members in the 1980s at a school community in Den Helder, there appeared to be a direct click. After years of playing covers of The Rolling Stones and The Eagles among others, a different course was started in the early nineties with playing Dutch music. In 1994 this gave the breakthrough with their hit "Stil in Mij", a new Dutch hit group was born.Van Dik Hout is available as a limited, numbered edition of 1,000 copies on transparent blue vinyl.
