Album Notes

Tess & The Chiefs ,TIME WARP, the CD, finally!
The Dutch Twin (19) singer/songwriters, Tess &Joël Gaerthé,
last one a.k.a. Joey Ashtray (Ashtraynutz ) are responsible for
the unique vocals of this band. Tess, well known in The
Netherlands due to her winning the Dutch finals of JSF in
2005 with her song "Stupid" followed by several # 1 hits in the
Kids top 20. Now, a "kid" no longer but still in search of THE
genre and sound most close to her own musical soul. The jazz
education she followed so far clearly worked out well. Her
very special voice combined with the rare old school sound of
her twin brother is what makes this band unique. Solo as well
as acting as each other's backup they are a joy to listen to.
Add to this the already famous (at 19!) very talented guitar
player Dusty Ciggaar and this band can’t go wrong. Dusty is
also aided by his brother, little drum king Darryl Ciggaar.
Young still, but very experienced because of his regular stints
as back-up drummer for his brother’s band The Rhythm
Chiefs (www.rhythmchiefs.nl)
Bill Mookhoek is filling in the bass parts. He has no relative to
lean on in this band but he is perfectly capable to act solo. Bill
is also a member of Kim Hoorweg's band.
The CD, TIME WARP, is hard to cast into a particular type of
music. An old school jazzy sound, sometimes leaning towards
western swing but clearly of this day and age.
You have to see, hear and experience Tess & The Chiefs.
Besides their magic sound this band, due to their youth and
enthusiasm, also makes a very nice picture.
