The Netz

About The Netz

The Netz - A Dutch Britpop Band The band was founded in 1992 by Marco Knetsch (vocals & leadguitar), Jan Knetsch (vocals & bass) and Hans Meijer (drums). The band started out with the name “Imagine” and, like any new band, performed everywhere they were accepted to play. Soon their playing got better and better, and with that the confidence grew. The band started creating their own sound, their own identity. Marco and Jan developed as songwriters which has become a trademark. In 1996 still with Hans, Jan and Marco together with guitarist Rob Könst, the band went into a studio for the first time. The lost tapes are still to be found. After going through several member changes and even more name changes everything started to settle. Until June 2009 the band called themselves 'Lekker Belangrijk!'. A hard-to-translate Dutch expression meaning something like “whatever, but not really”. It was decided that with mainly English songs it was better to also have an English bandname. After various brainstormsessions the name 'The Netz' came out. Strong compositions combined with superb 3 (or more)-part vocals, in which Jan and Marco are complemented by Peter de Liefde (Percussion/backing vocals), together with the refined keyboard playing of Patrick Schouten and the rockin’ rhythm guitar of Rob Könst give the Netz a recognizable but unique sound.
