To tell this story clearly and fully, I need to take you back to the mid 70’s….. In an average town in Europe just before midnight, a boy was born under a clear summer sky in 1975. Being the youngest of three, the boy had an easy time exploring and crossing boundaries set by his parents, which often drove them crazy. At a young age the boy discovered the world of tunes, melody and dynamics, immediately being struck by its power. At age 13 he joined his friends in what became his first band experience, using no equipment to growl and scream over their wall of guitar and drums. He soon found the microphone and amplifiers to be very useful in this type of art, increasing the possibilities for his vocal potential. Years and bands later, the young man had explored many different musical styles, using his own interpretation to develop his unique style of singing and distinct use of his voice. In 2001, a selection of capable musicians formed a new band to play and perform a diverse collection of musical styles, which resulted in a theatrical expression of emotions. During late 2004 they were noticed by Nachtmiss Marisa, a Dutch female DeeJay. She invited the band to play during the nightly hours of her show’s broadcast. By January 2005 they were playing live on Giel Beelen’s prime time breakfast show, on National Dutch Radio. The following day the band became winners in a national contest for upcoming talent in a sold out Paradiso (Amsterdam). They soon began performing on all the major stages in The Netherlands, including Melkweg (Amsterdam), Mezz (Breda) and the Bosuil (Weert). The word started to spread, and so the band crossed the borders to Germany and Belgium. In autumn 2006 the band decided to start recording and producing their demos to lift them to higher levels of sound and expression. Now as we approach autumn 2007 we look forward to the release of a full album by the end of the year. September will trigger an exciting tour starting in the Netherlands, taking the crowd on a Bogus journey throughout multiple musical landscapes and different moods. I am proud to present to you a promising new artist emerging! Ladies and Gentlemen, Here is… Terry Bogus!
