VANDERBUYST To Support SAXON In Europe
December 9, 2010, 13 years ago
SAXON have issued the following update:
"We are happy to announce our first confirmed support band for our tour through continental Europe... VANDERBUYST.The trio Vanderbuyst was formed in 2008 by super-guitar hero Willem Verbuyst who you might know from his cult-NWOBHM band POWERVICE. Together with drummer Van Esbroek and bassplayer/vocalist Jochem Jonkman, Verbuyst will take you back to the days of THIN LIZZY, UFO, old IRON MAIDEN and of course Dutch classics like VAN HALEN and VANDENBERG.
Energetic old school hard rock with some NWOBHM influences plus a rough edge but catchy as f•ck. Vanderbuyst released their debut already in Benelux and GAS October 15th, 2010 and will be followed by releases in the rest of Europe by March 2011.
Check them out at this location and enjoy the music."
