The tire thus leaves its comfort zone. “Normally we like heavier guitar work,” says singer and bassist William Bossong. “But this song is a bit calmer.”
Serene rest

The Mooi Wark band is also called the Drenthe equivalent of Normal. The formation has been performing for more than thirty years, especially in the Northern Netherlands. The biggest hit to date was the song In the Bare Ass.
