Neon Rainbows

Neon Rainbows are an indie rock band from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, formed around the remaining members of once semi-important punkrock outfit Feverdream. Ex feverdreamers Rene van Lien and Arnold van der Velde teamed up with Youri Seidler on bass (ex the hands) and the legendary Arnoud van der Zijden (Model Fuckers, ex The Solo Men Only, ex Oil, ex de vogels,) on second guitar and, well… presence.

Their debut album "An idea for a plan" is out now on Subroutine records. available on pitch black 180 grs. vinyl or cheap and easy ones and zeroes.

Neon Rainbows according to Live XS magazine English tarnslation: The Vinex fantasy is there. On the cover of “An Idea For A Plan” adorns an impression of a future house,a typical new housing that  brokers  hang in their window. Neon Rainbows fortunately have no complaints about the terrible life of the thirties, forties or fifties practice, but simply continues where stopped Feverdream. The album is not filled with the inner life of angry young men, though sometimes just hidden under a thin veneer. In the song “There Is A Ghost In This House”, for example, is still enough anger. And at the end of the album sounds exasperated: “I dunno what to do with my life” . But that is maximum  explicit anger. The combination of indie and a bit of post-punk still exists, but because there are two new band members compared to Feverdream, there is broadening of the  musical. The good listener will hear even some small and some shoots shoegazemomentjes math rock. Neon Rainbows at all levels has grown over Feverdream. Lyrically, musically and thematically. by Koen Verhelst for Live XS
