Here it finally is, the english website. I’m still working hard to make it a real working complete website, but in the mean time, you guys can check the news here!

Rock&Roll baby! The Award for the best Dutch Rock artist goes to..  Anouk!

Unfortunately Anouk wasn’t there because she was ill. So the wife of the radio dj came to get the award for Anouk.

The sad thing is, Anouk was nominated four times, for best live act, best single (modern world) and best dutch singer. She didn’t win one of them.. So only best rock act.

Anouk will be playing on two Belgian Festivals this summer!

Anouk plays  August 1st on a festival called suiker rock.
tickets are for sale for 24.69, and can be  bought here.

On Sunday,  august 2nt Anouk plays on a festival called Lokerse feesten.

Tickets for this festival are only 15 euro!
You can buy tickets from Zetes Fastrace.

These tickets will be send by email, so I think people from other countries can buy them too.
Anouk played at Lokerse feesten before, that was August 7, 2003!

It was a busy morning for Anouk. Two big radio stations called her this morning.
One called because of a commercial she is going to do for a big dutch bank; ING bank
The commercial will be broadcasted tonight!

The other one called to hear another preview of the Anouk album
You can listen to that here!

The first Anouk concert of 2009 is anounced!
Anouk will do an open-air concert in the Westerpark in Amsterdam.
The other nights will be with Lenny Kravtiz and Simply Red.

Anouk will play on july 5th.

A dutch radio dj called Anouk this morning to ask her about the soccer team Anouk sponsors. Anouk was not amused about that, but the dj Giel Beelen got her to let us hear a preview of Anouk’s new album. She just got the new mixes on her laptop. Here you can listen to the interview and the preview of Anouk’s new album!

Translation of the interview:

Giel; Singer Anouk is the sponsor of a soccer team, I need to call her. It’s 9 o’clock, she must be awake with the kids.
Anouk; Hello?
Giel; Hey Anouk, this is Giel!
Anouk; Hey Giel, is this live?
Giel; yes it is, you are the sponsor of a soccer team!
Anouk; oh is that what you are calling for?
Yeah, it’s a big deal now, but that wasn’t the point. I was just helping out a friend. They had no sponsor, so I payed for the clothes, but I don’t care about soccer.
Giel; There is just Anouk on the shirt? No photo?
Anouk; Noo man!
Giel; Let’s be honest, I just wanted to call you!
Anouk; You just wanted to hear my voice?
Giel; Yeah, and I wanted to know how you’re doing. I heared youare working on a new record!
Anouk; Yes it’s just finished! I just got the new mixes!
Giel; Let us hear something over the phone!
Anouk; No, I can’t do that!
Giel; Come on, over the phone! It’s not like people don’t buy it then!
Anouk; Okey wait, no man, I have to start up my computer!
Giel; I have time, I’m relax!
Anouk; Seriously? Okey, I’ll get my laptop!
Giel; Exciting!
Anouk; just a little part! I’m no good friends with my record company! They aren’t gonna like this! But they that keeps it funny!
Giel; I’m glad we think the same!
Anouk; Do you have something to talk about? It’s gonna take a little while.
Giel; Yes, on behalf on the fans, when is it being released?
Anouk; The single in September, I think, and the album a month later.
Giel; Okey, february, march, april, that’s pretty soon.
