BIOGRAPHY

The band-collective Sexton Creeps was founded by guitarist Steven Jouwersma and vocalist J. C. with the only goal to put something on record as soon as possible. With the help of guest -musicians they recorded the EP CAS in the summer of 2006. This resulted in a collection of six ominous songs for a damp and chilly winter evening.

In June 2009 the band released Songs For My Kaiserin. And due to the extensive set of instruments: organ, synthesizer, three guitars, violin, piano and accordion, is the second product full of contrast and rich of sound. The record was well received by the critics and was labeled 'Krochtenrock' (i.e. 'Crypt Rock') and 'Dark wave indie curiosities. Feiko Beckers directed the video clip for the title track, in which the musicians, all except the singer, are tied up in driving truck.

Sexton Creeps is getting its way around the club scene, is selected for the Popronde 2010 and collaborates with a theatrical group 'Different Trains'. The band arranges a live performed soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid'. The program includes an authentic projector and popcorn machine and travels from town to town.

In late 2009 the band collects material to record a new album. The Studio offers them to record their music on tape, therefore the longing grows to make a LP. The record is expected to be out in January 2011.

Sexton creeps on. A band like an unreliable stove, at which one can gently warm or harmfully burn oneself.
