Trespassers W: "sex and the end of it"
Price $15.00, $17.00 Rest of the World

Some call it avant-garde, others just call it adventure. Dutch band Trespassers W is making music in which people can dwell and get lost. Some want to stay there forever. The songs of the band are poppy or poetic or just crazy. Trespassers W don't play just one style of music. They like to play with style. Yet everything they do is pure Trespassers W. The lyrics tell stories and the music goes along with these tales and adds something to them too.

Trespassers W: "the noble folly of rock and roll"
CD
Price $15.00, $17.00 Rest of the World
Somnimage is proud to present the third and final part of Trespassers W’s trilogy ‘Sex and Drugs and Rock’n’roll’, entitled: The Noble Folly of Rock’n’roll.
If its predecessors, ‘Sex and the end of it’ and ‘The drugs we all need’ were two sides of the same coin, the former dealing with the exploitation of the body and the latter with the exaltation of the mind, then ‘The Folly’ must be the coin itself: the substance which started it all, the attitude of rock’n’roll which came with newly found freedom and independence by teenagers, once embodied by the like of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Gene Vincent.
