Brand new album THE EXPERIENCE out now!

The LSB Experience (English)

In the summer of 2010 Marcel Luntungan, Hans Sligter and Sjoerd van den Broek performed together for the first time during a session in cafe "De Peuk" in Bussum, The Netherlands. These three men being good singers individually and holding a respectable track record as musicians in various bands and projects was already a known fact, but this spontaneous joint action a...ppears to be a classic example of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
And so a new band arises; The LSB Experience. A binding factor and an important musical inspiration for the new band is the American so called "West Coast Sound". Several British acts that are known for using rich harmony vocal arrangements also form a common passion. The LSB Experience setlist now includes songs from: Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, The Eagles, Venice, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and Crowded House, to mention just a few names. Obviously, this cover/tribute repertoire is still expanding as the band is now exploring the possibilities of performing original material as well. While the original trio formation is more focused on the harmony vocals and acoustic instruments, the LSB Experience also appears with a rhythm section. This 5-piece band, with on drums Peter Deiman and on bass Rob Hendriks, shifts toward the more dynamic, arranged and swinging songs within the repertoire, thus creating an even greater variation in the sound and making the band more versatile.

The LSB Experience (Nederlands)

In de zomer van 2010 spelen Marcel Luntungan, Hans Sligter en Sjoerd van den Broek voor het eerst samen tijdens een sessie in café "De Peuk" in Bussum. Dat de drie mannen individueel goed kunnen zingen en als muzikant in diverse bands en projecten een respectabele staat van dienst hebben opgebouwd was reeds bekend, maar dit spontane gezamenlijke optreden blijkt een klassiek voorbeeld van een geheel dat groter is dan de som der delen. Aldus ontstaat dan ook een nieuwe formatie, The LSB Experience. Een belangrijke muzikale bindende factor en inspiratiebron voor de nieuwe band is de Amerikaanse zogenaamde "Westcoastsound", maar ook diverse Britse rock- en popsounds met meerstemmige vocalen vormen een gemeenschappelijk passie. Thans behelst de setlijst van The LSB Experience nummers van o.a.: Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, The Eagles, Venice, The Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac en Crowded House, om maar een paar namen te noemen. Uiteraard breidt dit repertoire zich nog steeds uit en zijn er tevens concrete plannen om eigen werk te gaan uitvoeren. Naast de originele trioformatie, waarbij het accent ligt op de meerstemmige vocalen en de akoestische instrumenten, opereert The LSB Experience ook aangevuld met een ritmesectie, bestaande uit Peter Deiman op drums en Rob Hendriks op bas. Met deze 5-mans formatie verschuift het accent naar de meer stevige en swingende nummers binnen het repertoire, waardoor een nog grotere variatie en dynamiek in de sound ontstaat en de band nog breder inzetbaar wordt.

My son and I just listened to this (again) in awe, and, at the same time, appalled. Appalled because we cannot fathom how the people in the room are not sitting in silence with mouths agape and drool dripping from their flaccid lower lips. My son, Andrew, is a bit of a snob and a perfectionist when it comes to CSN&Y, especially. In his opinion (and mine) this is flawless perfection. xoxo

Now the originals are aging and leaving, it’s great that we have this evocation to comfort us.

[RussCR]

That one deserved a bigger round of applause! Well done.

I searched for the best cover of helplessly hoping, and I sure found it.

[timcorcoran]

Can’t believe anyone would want to talk through this performance. This is incredible. Very well done.

[casaroccafamilyking]

Oh my goodness. They captured and elevated the magic of this song. My sincerest compliments. The only frown I had was the sound of the people talking while this musical experience was being offered.

[A-Jay.]

I was on the same bill, as these guys. They’re the most humble guys you could wish to meet and so cool. I stood in the audience watching them play this, in awe - the sound through a good PA was something else.

[holgerreichardt]

Oh yeah. Thanks. And rip. Mr. David Crosby.

[markdsager]

This is the best version I have heard done by anyone other than CSN themselves. The guitar parts are together and the harmonies of the voices are spot on. Excellent job!
