About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

3 guys, 1 set of drums and 5 strings in total… enough to make you Rock.

[tw]

That "and that's all I have to say about that" at the end was a reference to the Weird Al parody, Gump

[mlc]

It's remarkable how they maintain a perfect record of never taking anything seriously – truly, an unwavering commitment to nonchalance every second of the day

I was 9 in 1995. This teenage girl I knew from church had this album in CD. I loved it but didn’t have a CD player so she recorded it into cassette tape for me!

[bruntto]

one of the greatest bands ever, the fact that there's only 5 strings in this band is mindblowing... also the tones are incredible!!

[timeddy]

Man this song still rocks after all these years. If your not tappin your feet to this your officially dead!

[TheReddg]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I was 24 back in 1995, and now in 2022! I'm 50, about to turn 51 in April of 2022. And it just seems so befitting! The 90's, along with the 80's, were a Great Time for music! In my opinion, and that's all I have to say about that. In my Forrest Gump voice. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[TheVinylScore]

This showed off their harmonizing skills so well. They were so locked in then. Jason killing it too. Daaamn

[ignasty]

Man, these guys are the shit, for real. They still sound great. Think about the type of stuff being played in the 90’s and then think about these guys. They stick out like a sore thumb. It is refreshing and unique. I’ll always love these guys.

[phosph]

Amazing!! Such a simple song with just 3 instruments that so just Rocks to this day!

[crystalgilbert]

The 90’s were such a great decade for rock.

[RPGPlayer]

I love that they also included the Weird Al Yankovic ending of their song!

[TheSlandis]

My band plays this song, and it's one of my favorites. Just so much fun to play.

[joetempa]

Those classic 2-string & 3-string guitars combo. Magic sound!

[isaacvale]

what a song... 3min of just pure gold... take's me back to my childhood. Long live the 90's

[phoenixman]

That last little bit made me smile a lot.

[Football__Junkie]

I have to admit I still don’t know what this song is about but I still love it!!

[Christ-is-King-]

I remember when they made it on guitar world cover! Lol they had the guitars with two strings on them!

[Soper]

I've always loved this band! I'd love to see the whole session!

[Heavywall]
