Name: Adriaan de Vries
Writer' alias: Arisgar'd
Position in band: Leadvocals, guitar.
Born: On the way from Maastricht to Groningen, near Venray
Date of birth: 17-11-1972
Race: Slavic (white skin/black underskin)
Goal: Reach as many people as possible, people in trouble.
I want to support them and tell them that they're not alone. If I can help someone with it, I've reached the first part of my goal. The second part is to be able to make a living of the music and to write more songs.
Walk of life: Raised in a camp of mobile homes in funfair business and farmer parties (Normaal, Ides of May and Cuby & The Blizzards); seen much and tasted the atmosphere of warm summernights filled with partying people and the heartwarming winternights in which "Family" tells their stories. Went to school in Zutphen and rolled from car mechanic into graphics, completely focused on designing and drawing. I sneaked in to courses at the Baudartius college, because most of my friends were there. From my 16th year and up I frequently disappeared with the "Tim Disney Band" (old school Rhythm and Blues) through Belgium, Netherlandsm, Luxembourg and Germany. I got my travelingfeaver back here and through people like Jack Kockelkoren and Allan Gascoine I learnt how to play guitar. Tim's part was the mouthharp. Big motivation was my father Rinus. After this I went "bandhopping" for a long time, but that's something for later. Most of my songs are autobiograpical.
