Review by DJ Jan

DJ Jan van Eck wrote a review in both English and Dutch, thank you Jan!

It starts like many great ideas: in the pub, a conversation over a nice drink. Late at night we go out; tap a fresh water source with some pipes that we duct taped together. And then comes the moment; our still ol’ Haggard Badger begins to fill and we ignite the fire underneath it.

While it boils and magic takes place, we pick up our instruments, lubricate our throats and sing about trains, hopeless love and the transience of drugs. We play until we drop and sleep underneath the stars. The next morning hails us and we set out to another place with our fresh batch of ‘shine; we’re the Moonshine Brigade.

That’s the introduction to the Moonshine Brigade, catchy music that fits in with 16 horsepower, The Dead South, Hank III and the Old Crow Medicine Show. When you hear the music you initially think you are dealing with an American band, but nothing could be further from the truth, they are guys with roots in the Netherlands, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, who created with a mixture of Americana/country blues ‘ The Missry Stains’ a great album. The music varies wonderfully in terms of style and atmosphere.

So the music is fine, but the necessary attention has also been paid to the ‘packaging’. The album with 12 original songs was recorded and mixed by Frans Haarmeier, who did a great. The mastering was provided by Dan Emery, from BlackMatterMastering, who also provided the audio for Lost Dog Streetband, Matt Heckler and Benjamin Tod, among others. And last but not least, Vince Trommel from Cavum Scriptorium, he created the artwork for the booklet (beautiful work), he is an artist from Bommel (Zeeland) and makes artwork for the Tilburg Roadburn festival, among others. The booklet contains besides the lyrics great photos.

Het begint met een goed idee, op de plek waar de meeste goede ideeën ontstaan; in de kroeg. ’s Avonds laat trekken wij erop uit, takken het bergstroompje af met een vernuftig netwerk van buizen en pijpen die met tyraps en duct tape aan elkaar gehouden wordt. Dan begint het, Haggard ‘ol Badger loopt vol en wij ontsteken het vuur eronder.

Terwijl de ketel trouw pruttelt, stemmen wij de instrumenten en smeren de kelen. We zingen over treinen, hopeloze liefde en de vergankelijkheid van drugs. We spelen tot we omvallen en slapen onder de sterrenhemel. De volgende dag wacht ons op, nochtans brengen wij onze nieuwe batch bij de volgende zuipkeet; wij zijn Moonshine Brigade.

Zie hier de kennismaking met de Moonshine Brigade, aanstekelijke muziek die in het rijtje 16 horsepower, The Dead South, Hank III and the Old Crow Medicine Show past. Als je de muziek hoort denk je in eerste instantie te doen te hebben met een Amerikaanse band, maar niks is minder waar, het zijn jongens van de koude grond uit ‘s-Hertogenbosch, die met een mengeling van americana/country-blues met ‘The Missery Stains’ een geweldig album hebben neergezet. De muziek varieert op een geweldige manier zowel kwa stijl als sfeer.

Met de muziek zit het dus wel goed maar ook aan de ‘verpakking’ is de nodige aandacht besteedt. Het album met 12 eigen gepende nummers werd opgenomen en gemixt door Frans Haarmeier die hier mee puik werk verzette. De mastering werd verzorgd door Dan Emery, van BlackMatterMastering, die ook de audio van oa Lost Dog Streetband, Matt Heckler en Benjamin Tod voor zijn rekening genomen heeft. En last but not least, Vince Trommel van Cavum Scriptorium, hij heeft het artwork voor de booklet gemaakt (schitterend werk), hij is een kunstenaar uit Bommel (Zeeland) en maakt oa artwork voor het Tilburgse Roadburn festival. Het boekwerk bevat de teksten en foto’s.
