When your to-do list is longer then Mr. Zijlstra’s list of planned cultural cutbacks, you can be hella sure ‘reminiscing’ isn’t on there. That’s how it can happen that while you’re doing your business on the potty (yes, that other kind of business) and your staring absent minded at your calendar, all of a sudden it hits you: Holy crap shit! It’s our birthday!

Yes, good friends. Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck turned 3 years old!

No time to reminisce though. Time for a mind blowing party!

The festivities will take place on Sunday, August 28 at Utrecht’s main venue, Tivoli Oudegracht and will not merely involve eating cake and sipping coffee. No sir, there will also be music! Please behold our humble line up!

Blonde Redhead (us)
Moon & Sun (swe)
The Black Atlantic (nl)
My bubba & Mi (is/se/dk)
Het Gloren (nl)

The evening will start early as doors open at 17:30. The first act will play at 18:30 (order will be announced soon). Good to know: the party will take place at two different stages. The bottom three of the above mentioned acts will kick things off in ‘The mirror room’ while Moon & Sun and Blonde Redhead will carry on the awesomeness at the main stage.
Tickets giving access to both rooms are limited to 200. Tickets for the main hall are available through Tivoli.nl but do not give access to the mirror room. In case you already bought a main hall ticket you can mail info@beepbeep.nl to get info about how to get access to the mirror room.

Tickets go by the price of €20,-
What are you waiting for!

‪As some of you may know renting a van is an expensive joke. Especially when you’re on tour for three months straight. So you may understand having your own van is of great value.‬

My bubba & Mi are about to face this problem and therefore need your help. In return they have a huge list of thank you gifts matching the amount you donate.

If you’d like to support the music that you really love, then this is probably one of the best ways to do so. It’s much much appreciated.

-Beep! Beep! Back Up the Truck-

You can participate here.

Gone

oh honey you’re so strong like chili powder
in your arms, when you hold me in them
I never have a chance to get away

I’m with you when I’m gone
I walk the streets on my own
all night long

oh honey you’re so strong like chili powder in your arms
how do you make time to be so juicy
like pineapple in the sun

and everybody knows
pineapple-chili is what goes
best together in this world

Bubba’s Blues

It’s seven in the morning, and I’m building a tree house for two
let’s make up the mess we made from mayhem and chess

there is silence on the other side
moon and mills, pockets full of pills
trying hard to stay off the track,
but my wonderment is you in the sack

it’s eight in the evening, having difficulties with my dreams
be aware of the robots in here they might just lick your hair

[back to top]

Steamengeene

Oh steam engine
accompany my heart
birds exploding from joy
shoe shave is fine
now is a goldmine
sugar sugar sugar
you’re back on the beach with your darling
I’m back in the woods with my dear

[back to top]

Really really

My intestines are warm holding your arm
you slipped it under there, with your paw

oh I will see you soon with the moon
and the great walls of waves
around us around, stay gold
who taught you to freeze huh?
why aren’t you as warm and fluid
as I know you can be

we’re all here, hang loose no moose is too huge
live it leave it. yeah when you’re in hell, keep going
I love you more and Hemingway with a shotgun!

[back to top]

Satisfied mind

[back to top]

I will never love a young boy again

Come back in 5 10 years
and we’ll get married then
but I will never love a young boy again
800 months older than him, am I
in my hands he is a bar of soap

oh these hours of letting him go
these hours of letting go
you

I’d like to hang you up in a tree
and let you age there
listen to the leaves
and move with the wind

I am 100 years
in my hairs
I want a BEAR

[back to top]

Hwaii Blus

I only lie when I’m sleeping
and maybe in those dreams
I dream of you in my bay

I’m stayin’ at the
ComeonIwannalayya’
how about you?

honey milk, honey milk
lay me in the shade
and tell the sharks to go away

sugar booger
don’t wait too long
sugar booger
don’t you dare to wait too long

it’s Hawaii it’s Hawaii
that’s where it’s at
lay your hat, in the waves

I’m a turtle for you
or a palm leaf
I’m something you can eat
before you sleep
and I dream inside you

chocolate milk, chocolate milk
been sippin’ it all night long
belong, life long, where’s your sense
of right and wrong?

a brazen hussy
layin’ at your feet
cocoa cavities in my teeth

[back to top]

After you

After you pushed my heart over
I was out for a week
I could feel it beating under the sheet

I’m all nerves
you think I look like a harp
now your shoes on my belly
the bed full of dirt
but I feel it beating softly
under the sheet

when I get lazy I act like I’m crazy
but your manners
just send me straight into bed

you and the rest of you’s
boots and all and the fever
the donkey harp heart
is still the king

sure you can make me blue
but you can’t change how I feel about you
I can feel it beating under the sheet

[back to top]

Blinde state

If you are tired of seeing things
come and find a blind state I have designed
we can walk with our nose we can talk with our toes
through tactile trails and smell details

smooching, pineapple rag,
make out

It’s ever dark but don’t be scared
take my hand, we can walk the long way home
cause we’re off the hook from devil’s tool facebook
take my hand, we can walk the long way home

But beware, keep your nostrils far away from the maple tree
poison earwax birds may sing sweet, but when heard,
you’ll drown in the south sea

[back to top]

Apple spell

an image in my mind, but a place is hard to find in the break of dawn
everything is green, nothing as it seems but the music moves me

the Apple spell, it tastes so well,
let’s move in the rhythm of sinking soul
when the lights move on low all gets thick and slow
the accident of touch, says so much
if I bewilder you, you do it too
the rhythm of sinking soul, keeps playing

tick tack on the wall life moves too fast to fall
so sing me to sleep, before you go

as you bewitched my body and soul you have to sing me to sleep
before you go
so, sing me to sleep

Kanipchen-Fit (NL / USA)

KANIPCHEN-FIT uses two voices, electric guitar, tambourine, maracas and minimal beats for optimum effect. The music is unsentimental, the lyrics try to stay ironic, taking on subjects as rain, late night braggadocio, love-starved strangers, heroic alcoholics and prison entertainment.
