Sixtyniners

You can't miss it when two underground stars of graphic art crash together! Yes, Dutch famous cartoonist Michiel Hoving and the beautiful graphic designer Claudia Hek, much better known as the sexy country hillbilly southern blues rock duo SIXTYNINERS! Although originally from Amsterdam and Groningen, they sound like a wild and pure mix of raw Americana and Stompin' Hillbilly straight from a BBQ of a North Carolina Trailer park. Claudia Hek, well known worldwide of her beautiful artwork for flyers and posters plays the drums. On guitar and vocals her man Michiel Hoving. As well a respected and nominated flash animator story teller, Ugly Mean Chickie, Deadrat or Hotduck, just to mention a few of Hoving's popular cartoon characters, have been seen by more than 100.000 peole worldwide. A more than just creative pair which transformed themselves on "Too drunk to truck" from a 2 piece raw straight trucker outfit into a White Trash Country Orchestra with many musician friends, such as Mama Rosin, Urban Dance Squad, the Bluesgrass Boogiemen and the Anomalys. The 14 songs were recorded in a farmhouse in middle of nowhere in Groningen and of course mixed in the amazing Outside Inside Studios in Venice, Italy. Most of the songs are written by Hoving except some covers from Leadbelly. Supporting big bands such as Dead Moon, Peter Pan Speedrock, the Seatsniffers, T-99, The Bluegrass Boogiemen, Patti Smith, DM Bob, T-Model Ford, The Red Stick Ramblers, The Monsters, Green Hornet, White Cowbell Oklahoma....
