Bigg Buss: Wonders

Dutch musicians Paul Pijnenburg and Rob Suters have a soft spot for the radio friendly pop and rock of the seventies. After playing in countless bands they finally teamed up as a duo and founded Bigg Buss. Paul had amassed a stack of songs over the years, purely intended for his own enjoyment, and Rob kept bugging him to record them and go out and sing them in public. Their debut album Wonders finds them cruising the main roads most of the time, with a bit of funk and jazz to spice things up.

The upbeat title track and the piano ballad The Moon & The Sun, ain't half bad, but things get really interesting when they let go a bit: the progressive funk of This Is It, unleashing the guitars in I'm Lost and the French chanson inspired Deep Blue Sea. Bigg Bus is finally out of the garage. Next stop: a second album. Apparently there are lots of songs to choose from.

Bigg Buss:
Paul Pijnenburg: vocals, guitar, bass
Rob Suters: keyboards, accordeon
Juan van Emmerloot: drums, percussion
Erwin van Ligten: guitar on "Wonders", "Single Wing" and "The Waiting"
Cheeta Haase: vocals on "Lucky"
Christian Sheran: backing vocals

  1. Sounds quite Pink Floyd-y (Division Bell era) from the short clip here! That's a great thing!
