Biografie : Anneke Van Giersbergen And Agua De Annique
These last few years, Anneke van Giersbergen has been exploring her musical boundaries to the fullest. In 2008, together with Dutch A-list bands Racoon and Bløf, she recorded a song in her native language: “Als je ooit nog eens terug kan”, which shot straight to #1 on the Dutch charts. She’s also made a couple of on-stage guest appearances with Portuguese metallers Moonspell, which included a visit to the Optimus Alive! Festival in Portugal, this past July.
For three years, Anneke van Giersbergen has been touring successfully with and without Agua de Annique, both in her home country and abroad. She has performed from Chile to Lebanon & from Mexico to Finland, as well as support for The Smashing Pumpkins and a special presentation in front of H.H. the Dalai Lama.
“Anneke is a very powerful girl”
- Michel Schoots (Urban Dance Squad and producer for “In Your Room”)
With “Live In Europe” Van Giersbergen has successfully captured the energy of her live performances. Anneke states: “There are three brand new up-tempo songs on this album. Furthermore it’s a mix between the dark melancholy of “Air” and “In Your Room”’s indie rock.”
The album’s release date of October 15th also coincides with the kick-off of an extensive Dutch club tour.
