WE'RE FANS
Five musicians from the Netherlands who fell hard for R.E.M.'s sound. We're not trying to be Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, or Bill Berry. We're just fans who couldn't let the music die when the band called it quits in 2011.
From the jangly guitars of their college rock days to the stadium anthems that defined a generation, we play it all. "Radio Free Europe," "Losing My Religion," "Man on the Moon," "It's the End of the World as We Know It" — every era, every album, every song that made R.E.M. legendary.
No wigs. No costumes. No cheap impersonations. Just five musicians honoring the catalog with the raw energy and passion it deserves. We bring R.E.M.'s music back to life on stage, and we do it our way.

WHY
R.E.M.?
R.E.M. wasn't just a band — they were a movement. They proved that alternative rock could be smart, emotional, and powerful without compromising integrity.
From their early days on IRS Records to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world, they never lost their soul. They wrote songs that mattered, took stands that counted, and created a sound that's still instantly recognizable today.
That's what we're here to celebrate. Not the fame, not the image — just the incredible music that deserves to be heard live, loud, and with all the energy it was meant to have.
