Update 10th of October
Wow that has been a long time ago! I haven't been able to get to this site for various reasons: One of them illness, the other one business! We've been working hard on new songs and some exciting things are about to happen. A colobaration on our new album with the KMT faculty of the University of Utrecht and London allows us to record 4 new songs in top quality! It's planned to release these songs with the album, but maybe you guys can get a sneak preview somewhere in januari. I know, that's a long time.. But in the meantime there still is the DVD which will be released in October! More on that soon!
Besides this we will be giving a performance unless our promise of not performing for a year! We will be playing in the city Helmond in a venue called "Plato". It can fit 700 people and ofcourse we would love to pack the place up! Tickets are 6 euro's and available through us!!!
Update 19th of August 2007
So.. a major update this time: 3 new MP3 songs! Because of our DVD release on the 22nd of october we've decided to put up some live MP3's! Some of you might be shocked by the funkieness of our live performance, others may be charmed :) Hope you'll enjoy it!
Besides this we got a really positive review on our showcase in the Winston at the 16th of August! A little impression can be seen on our video section and the review can be found here (in dutch)
Some quotes (translated to english)
"In a one and a half hour during set the band leads the public through all different musical styles they play. From dance-able funk, to harder rock to their intimate songs"
"The different arrangements are well organised and arranged, but still there is enough freedom for the musicians to follow their musical intuition!"
"At the moment Monsieur Cannibale is working on their new record. If tonights performance is an indication of this record we can expect a wonderful record!"
Update 13th of August 2007
Chaotic times are finally over now I've finally moved into my new appartment! The band is working hard on 4 new songs that have been written for the new album! Maybe some of them will be performed during our special SAB performance in the Winston in Amsterdam on the 16th of august! I also worked out some idea I've been thinking about for a while! Please read about it on the forum!
And last but not least: A new video is added to our profile!!!
Don't forget to come and see us live after the Sellabration!!!

________________________________
Founded in may 2005 Monsieur Cannibale brings the best of all musical worlds together in one band. With four band members who have their roots in all different types of music the band is trying to make compromizes in their songs which will bring an exciting mix of all types of music. Monsieur Cannibale goes from the intensity of a singer/songwriter to the enthousiasm of a young funk band performing as if there is nothing better on the world! Their most important goal in playing? Having fun on stage and let the crowd have the best time of their lives!
Frank van den Ende (vocals, guitar), Jos Otter (bas), Niels van Lier (guitar) and Frank van der Star (drums/percussion) met each other at the Conservatory of Utrecht where Frank van den Ende was looking for some musicians to perform his songs with. Little did the others know that Frank had allready planned a performance before the rehearsals even started: a band competition in his own birthplace Monster. After rehearsing 2 times the band decided to take the dive in the deep waters of performing and headed of to the band competition in Monster... which they won!
After this great start the band decided to record their first EP which was released under the band name "Monsieur Cannibale and the Vegetarians" and which was titled: "Attack". The band name indicated a seperation between the singer/songwriter name of Frank van den Ende "Monsieur Cannibale" and the rest of the band "the Vegetarians". For a long time this seperation stood for two different sets the band performed. An acoustic more singer/songwriter kind of set on the one side, and a mixture of rock/disco/funk set on the other side.
In the months of december 2005 and januari 2006 the band recorded their first full-length album in the home studio of drummer Frank van der Star. Working together with guest-musicians Annabel de Romijn (Violin), Jos Hoogstad (keys). Shara Bakker (backing vocals) and Hera van Willick (backing vocals) the debut album focused mainly on the singer/songwriter side of the band. Critics compared the sound of Monsieur Cannibale to acts like Coldplay and Jeff Buckley and gave the CD a lot of positive critisism.
After releasing the album in februari 2006
the band had a lot of performances ahead. During this tour which
besides the Netherlands also got to England and Denmark, the band
decided to drop the seperation in their performing names. From now on
the band would be called Monsieur Cannibale and the two sets would be
mixed in to one!
This mixture was recieved very positively by both
the press, different venues and the music-lovers all around the world!
Using the internet website MySpace.com the band has gained a solid
fanbase!
At this moment the band has gained airplay on the largest dutch radio station "Radio 2" with a retake of the song "I Disgrace Myself". This single has been recorded for It's Your Record! and van be found on the compilation album "It's Your Record!Part 4". On "It's Your Record! Part 5 you can find a retake of the song "Mary Kate".
In may 2007 the band has recorded a
live DVD during a unique concert in cafe Greve (the Hague - NL). During
this performance the band combined the older material from both
Attack and Big City Nights with new material which has been written
during the touring!

Our 50k plan!
It has taken a while, but finally we've took the time to set up our 50k plan.
Some of you might know that at this moment we're recording a new album in various studio's. The songs that will be featured on the new album won't be the same as our Sellaband record. We're aiming on recording a completely new album, and no it won't be the leftovers of our new record!
Making an album is only a small part of our goals when reaching the 50k. Our main effort will be (as it has always been) promoting. Not only promoting our album, but also promoting the music industry revolution that has been going on for several years now (by this we mean the internet (Sellaband!!!) and all it's benefits).
How do we want to promote? Ofcourse by touring as much as possible. Most artists get in the studio and don't show their faces for a long time, we are having that period right now, and I must say: We want to get out again! So during recording we will also be touring: this means a lot of energy will be asked from us, but in the meantime it gives us a change to really overthink our songs after playing them live!
Some of you know that I have a lot of contacts all over Europe, so planning a tour won't be that much of a problem, specially not with the support of Sellaband and having reached 50k! On each performance it's our goal to have a local Sellaband band as a featured act! Besides that we will also be planning interviews in every town we land! Interviews in which we will spread the Sellaband word!
So what about the limited editions!? Me I'm a big fan of limited editions. If there is a limited edition available I'll be the first one to buy it! But in the meantime we see a great opportunity in this for the
following: We would like to create a special account for believers on our website which we will be updating with recordings of our live tour (it's our goal to record and publish every concert), a tour diary, photo's and video of backstage material! Later on all of this will be compiled into a DVD which will go to the believers for free. Besides that believers will get the opportunity to get to 2 concerts of choice for free!
Ofcourse our regular CD will also have a limited edition with "nude" versions (acoustic) of the songs we will be recording and a special art-work edition! We have a lot of friends in the art world who will be glad to work on us with this project! So think about it in this way: A CD sleeve in bookform with lyrics, photo's and artwork inspired by our music from various talented upcoming artists!
Got any questions?
Feel free to ask! Hope you like our plan! :)

Hoi, helaas neem ik mijn parts terug om ze in andere artiesten te investeren. Als jullie echter besluiten toch op Sellaband te blijven of om opnieuw aan SAB mee te doen, laat me het dan aub even weten. Want ik vind jullie muziek heel goed. Veel succes met jullie muziekcarriere. Hopelijk zie ik jullie nog eens live optreden. Groeten, Carla

Hi Monsieur Cannibale...I need you...I really need you...I´m not asking you to invest money on me.
Today it starts a new round, the 3rd round of the Sommersby October's competition, so I need your help...
It would only takes 3 minutes of your time, and it would be sooo important to me... You only have to go here:
http://www.sellaband .com/believer/phil-d avy/send_a_mail.html
and write: I vote for Gisel and ...... (it must be ONLY ONE of the following artists: N'Kenge, Angie, Lu-Li, Bonnie or Snelle Fellas) (per example: I vote for Gisel and N´kenge) But you have to write 2 names, because if you only vote for one artist, your vote won´t count...
So please, I know you can think that if you don´t vote, it won´t matter so much, but, it matters...In last round there was a tie, so one vote really count.
Thank you so much in advance.. I hope you help me...
kisses,
Gisel
Nov 01 2007 13:30 CET N'KENGE...OVER 6k....YAHOO!
