THe Vault Sessions by MixTup
Vault Sessions #20: Terraplane Sun
Now with only three (Ben Rothbard, Johnny Zambetti, Cecil Campanaro), Terraplane Sun is actually a 5 piece blues/folk rock quintet hailing from Venice, California. Since they flew over to roam our European soil and with their second album Coyote released in January of 2011, we thought we’d pick them up for our Vault Sessions…enjoy! (..more)
Vault Sessions #19: Hartog
Time for a new Vault Sessions, this time featuring singer/songwriter Hartog with the song Visitor. The guys from MixTup keep managing to get their Vault filled with inspiring and upcoming artist. Hartog’s album came out end of last year, and Oor Magazine amongst others gave it a raving review. His music is inspired by the likes of Damien Rice and Loney Dear and his songs are support by drums, piano, brass and strings. Have a listen!

Vault Sessions #18: Saelors
After listening to the Saelors’ MySpace for some time the people at MixTup finally decided to approach them about a Vault Session. Luckily for you, and despite their ridiculously hectic schedule, they graciously accepted their invitation and we think the results are magnificent. We hope you agree. (..more)
Vault Sessions #17: The Woodwards & Stevie Guy
Stevie Guy joined the Woodwards on their UK tour last November and will continue to be involved throughout 2011. See how you like this reworking of The Wood in the latest Vault Sessions. The Woodwards are that Amsterdam based urban folk band you might recall from an interview Ridz did with them right here on Overdose.am a while back. (..more)
Vault Sessions #16: Signe Tollefsen
Was it ‘An American in Paris’? No, this is about an American in Amsterdam. But the story has elements of a fairy tale too. Picture this: an American tourist in Amsterdam gets bored with staring at the wallpaper of his hotel room and decides to take a stroll through the famous Vondelpark where a young female singer/songwriter is just finishing the last song of her ‘open-air concert’. All he hears is the last verse of the last song. Nevertheless he is very impressed and takes a recording of the young woman home. Friends and music industry professionals listen on his request to the tape and the verdict is unanimous: ‘beautiful, and an enormous potential’. (..more)
The Vault Sessions #15: House of Cosy Cushions
This month MixTup’s Vault Sessions features House of Cozy Cushions. This band was formed by Amsterdammer Richard Bolhuis and already played the mythical stage of Paradiso 5 years ago. But Bolhuis then moved to Ireland, where he slowly restarted the project with Irish band members and influences. Over there the band grew, had a few releases and received a lot of praise. Nowadays they split their time between Ireland and Holland, which gives us a chance to see what happened. I myself have recently been really into folky and lo-fi indie music, much to the annoyance of co-editor and techno head Ridz, and really like what I’m hearing. Have a listen! (..more)
The Vault Sessions #14: Anatopia
