Press release Trespassers W: Koala and other metamorphoses
After 2006, when The Noble Folly of rock’n’roll saw the light of day,
we all thought that this cd, volume three of the series Sex and Drugs
and Rock’n’roll, was Trespassers W’s swansong. Individual members
chose their own path and singer Cor Gout intensified his career as a
writer of poetry, short stories, essays and (in 2021) a novel. Being the
musician that he is, he surrounded some of his books with music:
Muziek in zwart wit (Music in black and white) illustrated the
interviews with Dutch jazz-musicians from the thirties, forties and
fifties with songs, performed bij John and Annelies van Markwijk, Ab
Bol, former Trespassers W-drummer Peter Bos and Cor Gout, that
had made these old jazz-celebrities famous.
His short stories and poems about his home town The Hague were
extended with songs, poems and cabaret, performed by John van
Markwijk, Peter Bos and Cor Gout under the moniker of Gekruld
Haags (Curly Hague).*
But blood appeared to be thicker than water, and in 2014
Trespassers W rose from its ashes with the one-sided lp One Sided
Love Affair (2014), followed by the 7” Stowaway ep (2016) and the
cd Ferrageau, an epic poem written by Cor Gout and put to music by
Lukas Simonis and Frans Friederich, which Trespassers W released
under the name of Trireem (2020). And, believe it or not, in our
awkward corona days they managed to record a new lp/cd – in the
Trespassers W-tradition a concept lp/cd –, called Koala and other
metamorphoses.
Let’s conclude this press release by establishing that since 2006
Trespassers W metamorphosed several times, but in these
recreations de band never disappeared. On the contrary: it changed
back into the elusive band it always had been.
