Big Paulus

Cool, that’s something we all want to be, but is given to only a few. You can pretend, but real cool must come naturally, and cannot be faked easily! You must at least ride a motorbike, or play in a cool band, or both.

Well , garagepunktrio Big Paulus (from Amsterdam) actually do both! Faithful to old time Dutch hero (he) Jan Cremer, bassplayer/ singer Brouwer, guitarist Huurdeman and drummer Sloos race out into the world, to spread Paulism. Meanwhile interpreting neat hits such as Gilbert ‘O Sullivan’s Get down, The Beach Boys God only knows, Otis Redding’s Mr. Pitiful and Prince Roger Nelson’s 1999. A comparison, 1999 takes 3.36 min in its original version, Big Paulus finishes in 1.31 min, which results in a considerable bargain of 2 minutes!Quote Maximum Rock & Roll. These guys sound like a European version of The Plugz. Lots of short, sharp ditties incorporating many pop punk rock styles. English lyrics, cool covers and a song about Sacramento.
