Do you have any idea what to expect of Dutch indie music? I sure dont! but when I heard that a trio from Holland was performing in a sweet cafe not 5 blocks from my house I could not stay away. The show invariably started late and it gave me a chance to talk to a few of the band members of Snowapple. they are friendly and clever and could keep up with my wit (which always makes me smile) they speak in excellent English but host a cacophony of languages and have songs in french, dutch, English and a few others. The surprising thing is their conversational voices do nothing to communicate the POWER of their vocal chords.
I was frustrated, as I often am with half audience/half customer scenes but these women silenced the crowd by the third song! It was then we all realized they are operatically trained and can BELT out sounds that are borderline unnatural! Their songs range from haunting to knee slapping and all echo with you after the last note has sounded. Hey SF they are playing tonight so get on it! but I might just like them because they liked my mustache and sang me a love song over it :) . They got one more show tomorrow ngiyht and then they are out of the USA! dont miss out.
