Hiphop/reggae band 2NFRO, which includes three Tilburg and four Eindhoven musicians, is coming on remarkably in the Dutch club and festival scene. It made the line-up at the latest editions of famous national festivals such as “Mundial” in Tilburg, “Paaspop” in Schijndel and W2 in Den Bosch. In May 2006, 2NFRO was the second runner-up at the Benelux finals of the international Emergenza music festival. Last but not least: 2NFRO was worldfinalist of the international music contest Diesel-U-Music in the category Urban and went in October to the finals in London(UK)
2NFRO was formed in 2003. As of 2005, rapper Hind a.k.a. Double H. has been adding full measures of hiphop to the band’s reggae sound. 2NFRO’s second front lady Janneke a.k.a. Jess can be held responsible for adding equally full measures of soul. This devastating duo is musically backed by Mark (drums), Willem (percussion), Thomas (guitar), Jeroen (keys) en Maarten (bass).
All of the members' different musical backgrounds (from music and rock academies to jazz combos and disco bands) are clearly audible. 2NFRO's sound is moving from and jumping to a whole lot of different directions: reggae and hiphop, but also funk, soul, jazz, latin and dance. “Funked up Urban Reggae Vibes”, the band itself calls it.
These vibes especially stand out well when brought live. “Party on stage”, so said Dutch e-zine CultuurPodium after 2NFRO’s show at the Emergenza finals. “This Tilburg/Eindhoven hiphop band is capable of winning over an audience and creating a nice atmosphere from the first tones it plays”, the review read. “The crowd loves its mix of hiphop, reggae, soul, funk, rock and jazz, and there’s a lot of dancing and jumping. A likely winner, as far as I am concerned.
[~ to and fro ] Back and forth, as in He was like a caged animal, pacing to and fro. Strictly speaking, to means "toward" and fro "away from", but this idiom is used more vaguely in the sense of "moving alternately in different directions". [First half of 1300s]

Howdy!
Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!
If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have $9999 or less in budget on 25 October.
This is a great opportunity for you. Let all your believers know you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.
Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."
Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

Hi 2NFRO!!!
I really believe in your music. I've heard your music for the first time when you were in de Pul (Netherlands). I love the reggae/hiphop/R&B style.
Love, |
