Silhouette is gradually gaining momentum and building up a live reputation. We play Three gigs this autumn:

11 September: Drachten (duo-gig with Leap Day)

6 November: Progfarm, Bakkeveen

20 November: Very special prog evening: Silhouette plays its last and very well received album Moods in its entirety. Probably with special guest star and guitar player Aldo Adema (Egdon Heath, Seven Day Hunt) in Azotod, De Meern.

If you like Moods, this will be the evening to experience it!

The evening will be even more interesting since as our talented collegue proggers from Leap Day will play a set as well!

Hi All,

Saturday the 10th of april....No 30 centimeters of snow in Koln this time...finally Silhouette played in Germany and what a night it was! At 20h sharp the first notes of Concert Hangover filled the air in the Yard Club. A bit nervous at the start, but after the heart warming applause from the audience Silhouette played like never before!

Silhouette played a 65 minute show thanks to the kind Martigan proggers, who played a 3 hour show themselves. Symphoshop and Background magazine were present and witnessed a very special night.

Silhouette setlist:
Concert Hangover
Far away
Another bedtime story
Long Distance
Anybody
Second time down
Unreal meeting
The answers
 

In the mean time Silhouette is already busy with the first preparations for the third album. Rumour has it Anybody will finally make it on CD . Some new songs are in a finishing state of the writing stadium. We hope to bring you some new stuff in the November gigs! 

Finally: Dont forget the gig on the 8 th of May with Royalty of Mayhem. Silhouette will be headliner at this gig, so we will play most of the "Moods" stuff for you! 

We'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Brian., Erik, GJ & Jos.

A special thanks goes to Arthur Haggenburg for the great pictures!

Hi fans of Silhouette!

Next Saturday the 10th of April, 2010 we will play in the Yard-club in Koln/Cologne in Germany, together with the German Progband Martigan. This is the gig that was cancelled in January because of heavy snow fall.
We will start at 8:00 PM exactly en we will play a mix of our music of our 2 cd's A Maze and Moods, together a new track of our next upcoming third cd!
We hope to see you in Germany that saturday evening and remember:  it will be a great event there!

Silhouette.

Silhouette is very proud with the positive review of Moods in the leading dutch pop/rock magazine Oor.

"The second album of Silhouette from Utrecht has been released by the Swedish Progress Records, which shows that it’s a band with ambition. And they completely live up to these ambitions in the 78 minutes of Moods. Twelve songs about the Big Questions of Life, performed by four capable musicians, which show a clear preference for melodic progrock. Not of the predictable kind, they are too versatile for that. On the one hand there is a sublime interplay between Erik Laan (keyboards, also producer) and Brian de Graeve (guitar, also lyrics), and on the other hand also the catchy multi-vocal singing (like in the song Feeling God that works out very well). 

Also, working with different lead vocalist gives a welcome differentiation. And that Silhouette not only is taking resort to elaborate instrumental duels, is proven by the glorious Second Time Down, with four minutes the shortest track of Moods. The mixing and mastering of Gerben Klazinga (Knight Area) gives this second album a fuller and riper sound in comparison with their debut album A Maze. After four years, the time seems to have come for Silhouette; it is the first band that has been invited for Progfarm 2010, a very promising start. FRANS STEENSMA"

* On November 20th we plan to do a gig together with Leap Day in Azotod, in de Meern, (near Utrecht), where we will play Moods in its entirety.

* We also hope to play in Belgium and perhaps the UK. But we still need some contacts. So if you are from one of these countries and are interested to organize something with us: please let us know!

Also: please visit our site every now then to ensure you know in time where and when we play.

In the meantime we already can tell you that the writing process of our next album has started. The fundamentals of three brand new songs have already seen the light, while we also will put the song "Anybody" (we play that one live already for years!) on this album. If we continue like this, we might be able to release this album in 2011.
