Mark Constandse, sun of a antropologist, was into eastern European Balkan gypsy music. Combined with the free almost improvising noise aproach of the Vibes and the pulsating rythms of the sequencer resulted in a weird kind of new music "Transparent passing" cd "98. At the same time Wally and Moniek had a 2 year lasting project with Willem Cramer ,welknown for his work with "East meets west" and "Cobraz" (colaboration with Spasmodique singer Mark Ritsema), called "Z-device". A bizarre mix of sequencers, percussion and noise. That year ('97) they played one of the headlining acts at the "Sziget festival" in Budapest, Hungary and loads of concerts in London and England were they felt at home because of the total free spirit they experienced in a sort of musicians collective in the south part of London. They or-ganised concerts, happenings and festivals in cooperation with "Bastard haircut records", "The brain of morbius", "Baby trio", Charles Hayward, known for his work with "This heat", and many more. In 1999 Wally and Moniek decided to stop touring and travelling for a while (the've been doin' it non stop for over 10 years) went back to their hometown Rotterdam and saw the birth of their daughter alicia, born at the end of 1999. After 15 years of playing together they felt like (after one year of) they had the knowlidge and experience to jump into the adventure of being a duo. The've played occasional duo concerts before, and allways seem to come out on top. After creating their own homestudio in their house in Rotterdam, and dumping the sequencer they star-ted working on the next release, "Tranquileyes" cd '01. 5 duets for electric guitar and bass. Followed after 3 years of touring with a baby in "The livingroom recordings" cd '04. were they started to get more and more into improvisation avant-garde music. Followed a year later with "A depraved scent of brussels sprouts over Holland" cd '05. A response to what they see as being a dreadfull conservative cultural and political climat in Holland and the rest of the western world. Were making money is number one and being creative is second place. And now in 2008 two new releases "(...is your...) Mind free" studio-cd & "Live @ radio Funkwelle" Berlin. avant-jazz/noise with a slight etnic touch. As the Vibes grow older and see the birth of their second daughter, Mila, their music gets more and more subtle but doesn't lose it's edge. And the impressive hectic stage act never seems to stop.
