Buy my band Cry Ugly’s CD ‘Representatives Of The Shaggy Set’ here at CD BabyAnd here’s yet another song. I wrote it about three years ago, have played it live at times over the years, during my solo gigs. I picked up the vastly unfinished recordings I started three years ago only recently, and now here is the finished song. It’s called ‘I Am The Rain’. It’s a somewhat [...]
"The experimental happiness of The-Beatles-with-a-Pro-Tools-rig mixed with The Kinks' warm nostalgia and Elliott Smith's beautiful melancholy." ====================> Hey! I’m Andrew Vroomans, a singer/songwriter/producer of Beatles-type super melodic pop, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe.

The song was really considered for the scene, but in the end they went with another song. Oh well, that’s how it goes. The producers [...]

Dec 6th
Here is a test to check out how that podpress-thingie works. It’s part of a song-still-in-its-recording-process I co-wrote with D-Rem for our N-I-XX collaboration. D-Rem sings the lead, so that’s not my voice there (those backing vocals! now there is my voice, a lot!). It’s called ‘With You By My Side’ and I’ll post the [...]
