Meaning
bandname: There
was a big conflict, say an eternal quarrel, about the bandname. Sjakie was
whining about the idea of Niels for taking Soulscars and Niels replied:”stop
sitting to mindfuck”, so eventually it became Mindfok, with actually a dash
through the O, like Ø.
History:
Started in december 2000. First rehearsals at Manfred (Oosterhogebrug) and
Popdijkemaweg, but later in the good ole Viadukt. Niels and Jop really started
the whole thing and asked 3 drummers at the same time. From those three, Bas
started playing bass, Michael started playing guitar and animal Sjakie (known
for the rest of holland as Richard) stayed on drums plus ofcourse Niels on
vocals. Jop couldn’t play anything else than guitar and solos which also
contributed to the mindføking.
Lyrics:
All
(for a few exceptions) written by Niels and deal with his frustrations of his
illness and the things he loved (|”basket mopeds” and Marloes). New lyrics
deal with beer, and politics ofcourse.
Description:
Punkrock
with crusty vocals
