Indeed.

Kind of awkward choice to play the left hand part of a keyboard part on a bass so disconnected from the keyboard.
He does look/sound like a tight bass player. Even though it does not work for me on this particular song.

He looks hyper concentrated. Not very relaxed.

And so would I playing even attempting to play this stuff! Not exactly an intuitive bass line, very jazz rock-funk-left hand keyboard'ish. That even could memorize the parts (because he is obviously not reading them).
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Back in 2014 Definition Of Madmen invited a bunch of friends to the rehearsal room called The Bunker. The Bunker is an air raid shelter which was converted into an underground bar.
The idea was to make a live demo for promotion. Just play live in front of our friends. Some drinks. Lots of fun.
But we faced some technical challenges. There was a noise we couldn't eliminate. Each time the fridge switched on, we got a spike in the audio. And one of the three cameras appeared to have recorded only stills instead of video...
As a result we never bothered to use any of the footage.
But yesterday Mick Hup (lead guitars and lead vocals) managed to fix the spikes and noise. He mixed the audio and edited the video footage that survived several hard disk crashes.

Song: Common Sense
Band: Definition Of Madmen
Mick Hup :Guitar, Lead Vocal
Rob van den Broek: Bass, Vocal
Lars Koetsier: Guitar
Theo Outhuyse†: Drums.

Recorded & Filmed live at Buisje Bunker's place

I love it. Good stuff, Rob.
