Amazing Stroopwafels


The Amazing Stroopwafels is a Dutch band originating from Rotterdam. They started as a duo in 1979, performing as street musicians. During the election campaign period they performed often at street demonstrations for the SP, a Dutch socialist party. The group now consists of Wim Kerkhof, Arie van der Graaf and Rien de Bruin. They're one of the busiest-performing groups in the Netherlands with more than 6000 concerts in thirty years. The predominantly Dutch-language group also toured widely in Denmark.
Although the band never had a hit-record, their 1981 song Oude Maasweg is a classic in Dutch pop music history. The song starts in English, the second verse continues in Dutch as an impressionist story of heartbreak in the dreary industrial area of Rotterdam. In 2007 the song charted number 16 in the Top 2000, an all-times chart compiled by the listeners of Dutch Radio 2.
The Amazing Stroopwafels have released 18 studio albums and 5 compilation albums, one live LP and three DVDs.
