DESCRIPTION:
A dream came true for these two dutch brothers, performing the song Come On Over on the 3FM stage in Hilversum, in front of their most favourite band Royal Blood. Merijn took his selfbuild 1-snare spade-guitar and Timon his drumsticks to a very special showcase of the band at the 3FM Wisseloordstudios in Hilversum in order to get them signed by Mike and Ben. But then Mike wanted Merijn to just "plug it in". Ben allowed Timon to use his drums and off they went. Unfortunately the mic was already switched off, but despite that it was a once in a lifetime experience. In the end Mike signs the spade. Ben already had put his autograph on the drumsticks.
If you want to hear Timon and Merijn in full, you can listen to this video recorded in their home village: https://youtu.be/L2ru63uNQl0 (not a great soundrecording, made with a phone from the wrong spot). Timon and Merijn play all Royal Blood songs and use the spade as the bass/guitar. Mike and Ben made this showcase in Hilversum the best day in their lives! The band first played 5 songs (also from their new album) and also did a very nice and funny interview with Michiel Feenstra. In the end they allowed everyone to be photographed with them on stage.
Mike and Ben are the best inspiration ever!
