Tjendol Sunrise seamlessly fuse Rockabilly, Rock&Roll and Indorock into their own exciting brand of asskickin' music, as everyone who has seen them live can attest.

NEWS UPDATE:

Tjendol Sunrise played some great concerts this summer at the Tong Tong Fair international festival in the Hague, the Netherlands, with their newest member, the great Daniel Guilliamse on lead/rhythm/lapsteel and pedalsteel guitars and vocals.

The addition of Daniel to Tjendol Sunrise made it possible to play Indo Rock music with the original intricate virtuoso triple lead guitar style that the Tielman Brothers developed to a degree of perfection in the early '60s, never equalled by any other band until summer 2009, when Tjendol Sunrise performed as a 5 piece band for the first time. 

A lot of people who were actually around when this music was originally heard on stage in the early '60s were pleasantly surprised, because they had already given up hope of ever hearing this music again in the way it should really be played.

The first recordings of Tjendol Sunrise as a 5 piece turned out to be the best they ever made, their next CD is going to be absolutely brilliant. Stay tuned!

NEWS UPDATE:

After last years' legendary performances together with their hero Andy Tielman, it seemed only natural that they'd join forces with him on a new CD, "21st Century Rock", which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of the official first dutch popmusic single "Rock Little Baby Of Mine", recorded by Andy with the legendary TIELMAN BROTHERS in 1958. This new CD includes an exciting new and updated version by Andy Tielman and Tjendol Sunrise of this landmark recording, and on may 21, Andy and Tjendol Sunrise performed "Rock Little Baby Of Mine"  for the dutch queen Beatrix, who enjoyed their performance very much.

The new CD is a very exciting fusion of the musical styles of Tjendol Sunrise and Andy Tielman. Even Andy's diehard fans will be wondering when was the last time they heard him rock THIS HARD when they'll hear this CD, and the young generation -who might be less familiar with Andy's music- will immediately understand why he has been such a big influence on european rockmusic (and beyond) from 1958 up until the present day.

His many followers and imitators will get a new standard to aim for: Andy substantially raised the bar on this new CD, which contains some of his best playing and singing ever!

But don't take our word for it. Buy the new CD, and prepare to be floored!

The official release of the CD was on may 22, 2008 during the international Pasar Malam Besar festival in the Hague,  where Andy and Tjendol Sunrise played another historic concert together, celebrating the 50th anniversary of dutch pop music. During this concert, the first copy of the CD was presented to Andy by Jan Akkerman, after which Jan, Andy and Tjendol Sunrise played 2 songs together on stage!

"21st Century Rock" is now available at all major record stores in Holland, distributed by Suburban!
