Clayborn

CLAYBORN STOPT DEFINITIEF



De Rotterdamse rockformatie Clayborn stopt. Frontvrouw Crazy Jane en bassist Rogier Drinkenburg kunnen nog geen afscheid nemen van de energieke rockband Clayborn wanneer in september vorig jaar gitarist Kurt Amat en drummer Wouter van Wijk aangeven zich op andere dingen te willen storten. Na nieuwe muzikanten gezocht te hebben en enige live shows te doen met de nieuwe formatie is er toch besloten dat er niet genoeg vibe is binnen de band. Na 6 jaar van vele optredens is de koek op.



Clayborn heeft vooral de afgelopen jaren een sterke live reputatie opgebouwd. De band speelde in de grote en kleinere zalen in Nederland en België en tourde in Oostenrijk. Ook stonden zij onder andere 2 keer op het hoofdpodium van de Zwarte Cross (2007 en 2008), speelden zij op Metropolis, Parkpop Kaderock, Berghpop en Rockweekend America. Daarnaast heeft Clayborn 2 EP's op zijn naam staan en 1 volledig album "Every Dog Has Its Day". De single The Mission wordt op verschillende nationale radio en TV stations gedraaid en ook is bij de song een videoclip opgenomen.



Alle leden van Clayborn geven aan wel door te gaan in de muziek. Crazy Jane zal zich vooral gaan richten op haar solo carrière. Haar solo album, getiteld "365 Mornings" kan na de zomer al verwacht worden.



Clayborn wil graag alle trouwe fans bedanken voor alle support en wie weet tot in de toekomst!

Biography

Clayborn is a rockband from the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Their supercharged energetic shows, brimfull of high-octane rock 'n roll bravado have been shaking the foundations of the Dutch live scene since 2003. After releasing two successfull EP records they now unleash their first full-length album entitled: «Every Dog Has Its Day» upon the world.

Confronting, energetic and sensitive; The band explores the boundaries of contemporary rock. This band is passionate, expressive and aggressive, boasting the explicit lyrics of she-devil Crazy Jane, the grit and dissonance of guitarist Kurt Amat and a ballsy rhythmsection personified by bassplayer Rogier Drinkenburg and drummer Wouter "Wally" van Wijk (Stöma / Doodoo’s Coffee). The album «EDHID» has everything that might be expected from these headstrong Rotterdam rockers: Steaming rock with a touch of insanity and a hint of erotica; Clayborn is "Neu-Rock-Tica".
