Concubine

Concubine was founded in October 1998, by Joost Peeters and Jaap Melman. Looking for a singer/guitar player, they soon found Dennis Peters. The following years they switched some members. Jaap left Concubine to play with Dreadlock Pussy. Remko Schreurs joined the band to do the vocals. Drummer Marcel Oppermann was added also, and he stayed with the band till October 2002. On the day Marcel announced he was going to quit the band, Concubine already found a new drummer, Niek van Lin. And that’s the short story about Concubine.

Over the past few years Concubine has been folded in many ways, but never lost their unique sound. Before: “funkskametal in a full metal jacket”, nowadays “crossover metal”. It’s a matter of growing up, without losing their enthusiastic youthfulness.
With their explos (...) Mehr anzeigenive live shows Concubine was part of the line-up at the Pinkpop festival 2001 and became second at the final of the “Grote Prijs van NL 2001”.
The singer Remko was asked to sing along on a track from the album Tsumi by Dreadlock Pussy. He also sang the song live at Ozzfest and the Lowlands festival.
When they released their first full-length album Laughter Days in 2002, critics had nothing but respect and they thought of Concubine as a potential band.
The band toured around the Netherlands and sold many albums at over a hundred live shows.
In 2005 the band went into the studio to record Collapse of the Empire, a 4-track demo. This demo has been called a nice preview of the full-length album to be released somewhere in 2006. Weniger anzeigen
