awkward i op Tender Records
Rock Stars verschijnt op
Record Store Day
Zaterdag 18 april, op Record Store Day, verschijnt de Tender-single van
awkward i. Djurre de Haan nam speciaal voor ons een nieuwe versie van
Rock Stars, ons favoriete nummer van zijn debuutplaat, op. Op de b-kant
van de single staat een bewerking van Mothers Last Words to Her Son van
gospelzanger Washington Phillips. TEN006 verschijnt in een beperkte,
genummerde oplage van 500 stuks.
We kennen awkward i van de prachtige platen die hij uitbrengt op
Excelsior Recordings. Daarnaast maakt hij muziek voor theater en film,
zoals voor het met prijzen overladen Aanmodderfakker. Ook maakte Djurre
afgelopen jaar samen met Tim de muziek voor de VPRO-kinderserie
Beestieboys.
Rock Stars is op zaterdag 18 april tijdens Record Store Day voor het eerst te koop in de winkel.
Djurre speelt die dag in platenzaken in:
Venlo (Sounds 12.00)
Arnhem (Kroese 15.30)
Amsterdam (De Roode Bioscoop 19.00).

awkward i in the theatre
Just in case, you did not yet know, awkward i's Djurre is performing in the theatre play "Alleen op de Wereld". And now, after months of rehearsing with Theatergroep Maas en Dans and doing things Djurre has never done before on stage, it's finally time for the premiere. Today, Sunday 19 January 2014 at 14:30 at the Rotterdamse Schouwburg, you will be able to see the results. Not only did Djurre write some new songs for this play, he is also performing them live on stage together with Vincent van Warmerdam, making his co-operation with Theatergroep Maas en Dans a completely new " awkward i-stage-experience". More about Djurre's experiences with "Alleen op de Wereld" you can read here, in his interview with the daily newspaper De Telegraaf . More information on "Alleen op de Wereld" can be found here, including the tour dates. And just have a look at the "Alleen op de Wereld"-crew, you simply need to see them performing live on stage…. Right?!?11/14/2013

awkward i is nominated for a Gouden Kalf
The Nederlands Film Festival has chosen the soundtrack of The Deflowering of Eva van End to be worthy a Gouden Kalf…
The jury wrote: " Djurre de Haan voor DE ONTMAAGDING VAN EVA VAN END
Het speelse, ironische karakter van de muziek van Djurre de Haan vult de film perfect aan. De
bij tijden melancholische en dan weer hilarische muziekstukken sluiten naadloos aan bij het
drama. De overwegend opgewekte score zorgt ervoor dat de kijker geboeid blijft tot het einde.
De jury hoopt in de toekomst nog veel van deze debuterende componist te horen. "
On Friday 4 October at 20:55 we will know if Djurre has won… The award-ceremony will be broadcasted on Ned 2, www.filmfestival.nl and Cultura24, so tune in and share the excitement….

awkward i op het Nederlands Film Festival
Het Nederlands Film Festival in Utrecht is weer begonnen. En het festival heeft dit jaar een awkward i -tintje. Want voor drie films die op het festival zijn te zien heeft Djurre muziek gemaakt.
Vingers
Een nieuwe (korte) film van Michiel ten Horn, met in de hoofdrol Ton Kas. Als keurige wiskundeleraar Bernd ziet hij zich tot zijn schrik geconfronteerd met de losgeslagen seksuele moraal van zijn leerlingen en gaat er een voorheen onbekende wereld voor hem open. Te zien in de serie KORT! – hier meer info.

Te zien in de serie KORT! – hier meer info.
Nog een film met awkward i -inbreng. Want de titeltrack van de afstudeerfilm van Mees Peijnenburg, die dit jaar afstudeerde aan de Filmacademie, is van Djurre zijn hand. De film draait dit jaar op het NFF. En niet alleen dat, ook was ie op 29 september te zien op Nederland 2. Kijk hem hier terug. De film gaat over de vriendschap tussen Gijs en Sven, die door een straatruzie en de gevolgen daarvan nogal onder druk komt te staan.
Het afgelopen jaar heeft de zegetocht van DOVEVE doorgezet. De speelfilm, waarvoor Djurre de score en soundtrack maakte, is inmiddels aan 23 landen verkocht. Aan het eind van het jaar zelfs is ie zelfs te zien in de Amerikaanse en Chinese bioscopen! Ook is de film genomineerd voor een Gouden Kalf en nog een aantal keer te zien op het festival.
Op donderdag 3 oktober is er in Hoog Catharijne een pop-up bioscoop, waar je gratis De Ontmaagding van Eva van End kan kijken. En als dat al geen goede reden is, is de muzikale omlijsting van die avond dat zeker. Djurre draait voor en na de film plaatjes. Kom dus vanaf 20.30 uur langs! Meer info hier.

A new song - a new video
Well, actually
we could spend an endless amount of words telling you about the road we walk
and the story behind this new song and why and how Djurre wrote it. And something about a painting in a museum and how we played
it at the Parade and how suddenly whilst playing this song something happened
to Djurre’s voice and Susanne her violin and
how Diederik went crazy on the guitar…
These are
the stories that could be told and will be told…
To be
honest, the only thing you should do is listen to this new song and watch the
brand new video Amsterdam
Acoustics recorded of this brand new awkward i song. Enjoy!

"There is no friend as loyal as a book"
And yesterday a journey ended at Paradiso in Amsterdam; the final show of Djurre's tour with Bettie Serveert… With the memories of his adventures of nearly two months touring with the Betties through the Netherlands, he will be heading for Nijmegen today. A Nijmegen sizzling of whispers, words, poems, sentences, poetry and music. A city filled with literature like you can only find it during the one and only "Boekenfeest"…
And like Hemingway used to say:
"Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today…"

awkward i Harmonizes Dutch, Indonesian Musical Traditions
Awkward i Harmonizes Dutch, Indonesian Musical Traditions

Hailed by music critics as “one of Western Europe’s brightest new lights,” Dutch singer and songwriter Djurre de Haan and his band awkward i, will be part of a unique cross-cultural collaboration that will take place in Indonesia this month.
Organized by the Dutch cultural center Erasmus Huis, awkward i will embark on a tour to Semarang, Jakarta and Bogor, accompanied for each show by Indonesian gamelan orchestra Nikimuzieku.
The orchestra consists of students of the Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang, who are on a mission to keep Indonesian traditions — like wayang and gamelan — alive by making the arts more attractive to the younger generation. The students organize collaborations with contemporary musicians and traditional music groups from other countries, including Taiko drum players from Japan.
Staying true to this concept, Nikimuzieku’s joint tour with awkward i seems like a natural choice. De Haan, who comes from Groningen in the northern part of the Netherlands, began his music career as a bass player in the band Alamo Race Track and Hospital Bombers, before releasing his first solo album “I Really Should Whisper” under the moniker awkward i in 2009.
His debut was an instant success in the Netherlands, as he presented a fresh sound that combines meaningful lyrics with melodic depth, resulting in melancholy songs that leave a lasting impression. His sophomore effort “Everything On Wheels” followed two years later, but de Haan wasn’t flying solo anymore — his one-man project had grown into a full band and was lauded by critics and fans.
“This singer-songwriter doesn’t whisper anymore, which is good, as each single note of ‘Everything On Wheels’ must be heard,” one Dutch music critic wrote.
In addition to the release of two successful albums, awkward i is also known for mesmerizing live performances. It is here that de Haan has the possibility to show his true talent: he proves to be versatile, as he owns the stage at all times — be it solo, accompanied only by his guitar or backed by his entire band.
For this tour, a couple of songs from awkward i’s second album have been altered and made suitable for accompaniment by a gamelan orchestra, so the concerts will bring together Dutch and Indonesian cultures through music.
The tour will begin on Friday in Semarang, Nikimuzieku’s home town, and continue to Jakarta and Bogor on Jan. 21 and 23, respectively.

awkward i at EuroSonic 2013
Thursday, Friday and Saturday we will play shows during EuroSonic/Noorderslag 2013.
First show will be on Thursday 10 January at 21.15 at the Energy Stage.
Second show will be a SoLo show with only Djurre playing at 18.00 at the Energy Stage on Friday 11 January 2013.
Good news is that both shows do not require a EuroSonic-ticket, so you can just come by and support us without worrying about spending extra money.
And on Saturday, 12 January 2013, Djurre will also be playing during the award-show of the Ijzeren Podiumdier. Unfortunately this award-show is only on invitation.
Anyhow, see you somewhere in Groningen. Either at the Energy Stage or somewhere on the streets, when passing by!
