For more than a quarter of a century already, and with a sturdy international presence, Nits are Netherlands’s biggest pop-pride. The cult band’s hit catalogue is impressive. Check out some of those jewels such as Adieu Sweet Bahnhof, In The Dutch Mountains, The Bauhaus Chair, J.O.S.Days,… all on their freshly titled compilation Nitshits. But above all: Live, Nits are still superlatively inventive, tastily craftsmanlike and gloriously playful. Their 23rd album, Doing The Dishes, is out now and the essence remains unchanged: Henk Hofstede at the fore plus Robert Jan Stips (mainly keyboards) and Rob Kloet (mainly percussion). A Nitstitute!
