Chabliz available @ Amazon + great review !
Popnoirband Chabliz is searching for a eclectic playing, ambitious guitarplayer m/f, who is able to play in several different styles, from acoustic singer-songwritermusic to gothicmetal and (hard-)rock. He or she needs to be able to accompany the alto leadsinger, and thus prepared to play in non-convenient keys. The cd is just ready and the release will be this autumn / winter. Goals: many concerts and gigs, selling albums and singles, and working on a new album with our own repertoire. Of course you’re welcome to write and compose together with us. We are looking for a guitarplayer who’s a real teamplayer, and who’s ambitious. Other keywords are: durability, loyalty, energy, having big plans with our music. We offer: our own studio, ambition, quality, experience, see the words above, and: originality. We play mostly our own repertoire. We rehearse in Rotterdam at the moment, every sunday evening. We don’t know yet if we’ll stay in this rehearsal room for ever. The bandmembers live in The Hague / Voorburg, Rotterdam, Leiden and Amstelveen. Please send us a note if you’re interested or if you have further questions. You can share this message if you have friends or collegues who might be interested.

Bio Chabliz to be watched at our Facebook pages:
Danger and chaos are never far away in the music from Chabliz
dutch adventurous popnoir band with enchanting female vocalist with a wide four-octave vocal range, who uses several vocal techniques. Released two albums in 1999 (live album) and in 2003 (studio album: “Nightporter”). Both albums got a lot of very good press critics in the dutch and belgium press (Oor, Fret, Live XS, Music maker, Heaven, NRC Handelsblad, AD, Volkskrant and many others). The band is recording a brand new album right now. It’s almost ready and due to be released summer 2012. Chabliz has influences from dreampop, rock and gothicjazz.
In 2001 Petra de Winter signed a record deal with major CNR-Arcade (Holland). She performed, a.o., at stages in London, Copenhagen and Tunisia. In Holland she was a guest of Paul de Leeuw at his popular national t.v. show. Petra has also worked with other Dutch musicians, such as Rowin Schumm (Lichterlaaie), Arie Spaans (Suburbs), Cor Gout (Tresspassers W), Daniel Derks (ex-de Dijk), Hans Eijkenaar, Michel van Schie and Tjeerd van Zanen. In the nineties she was the leadsinger of musical theatre group “Danse Macabre”. She studied at the DJAM and the Royal Conservatory.
Double bass-player Marcel Peters has played the North Sea Jazz Festival four times. He also accompanied jazzvocalist Faye Claassen and Mariska Veres (Shocking Blue). Chabliz’ studio album “Nightporter” has been produced by Wim Oudijk. He had several top 40 hits in the seventies with his band ‘Navel’. Last years he worked with bands as a producer; Wim produced a.o. “Venus Flytrap” and “Doctorandus P”. He co-founded the “Tresspassers W”.
Drummer Ap de Ree entried the finals of the important “Big Prize of Holland” with his band “The Butler”. He also played in new waveband Basic Scream, and formed a duo with his ex wife, a gifted singer and pianist. They toured together for several years.
Pianist-keyboardist Pim van Riezen had some small hits with several house songs on the rave label.. He studied at the conservatory of Amsterdam and plays pop, classic organ and jazzpiano. His extra speciality is recording, mixing and producing. The new album is to be produced by Pim, in cooperation with the rest of the band.
Guestplayers of Chabliz are guitarplayer and songwriter Henrik Olsen, who lives in Copenhagen, and guitarplayer and studio technician / producer Marcel van Ling. Marcel owns his own studio and did also some studiowork for the band.
Producer, singer and songwriter Wim Oudijk ( www.discofair.nl ) had several hits in the seventies and eighties. He produced the last album and he is mastering the new album. The production of the new album is in the hands of Chabliz (DIY).
Where:
Chabliz did five short tours of Rumania (Bucharest) at the Jeunesses Musicales Festival and played there again in 2009 at the EUROPAFEST festival and at the Hardrock Cafe. Their concerts were broadcasted on the Rumanian State Television. The band played extensively all over Holland, in all sorts of clubs, festivals and venues from 2002-2012. Some highlights are the several clubcircuit-stages all over Holland, the The Hague Jazz Festival where they played gothicjazz, the dutch “Popronde” and several live radio concerts, also for radio 2.
What: The Live-to-DAT-recorded debut-album “Black Blue” was highly acclaimed by the Dutch music-press (a.o. OOR, Fret, Music Maker). Chabliz’ studio album “Nightporter” has been produced by Wim Oudijk. This album got very good (even better !) press-critics in the Dutch and Belgium music-press. Amongst Chabliz’ fans and appreciators are several celebreties: the late Theo van Gogh, Hans Vermeulen, Van Dyke Parks and Adriaan Bontebal.
Chabliz made it to many finals, several jury’s chose CHABLIZ ( for details, see www.ongekendtalent.nl) because they loved this music.
Right now Chabliz is working on a new album, due to be released summer 2012. A tour through Holland and the rest of Europe is to be planned right after the release.
The new album is recorded in the bands own rehearsal room and homestudio, and produced by themselves. Chabliz is searching for their very own sound right now. The songs are all written and almost every song is recorded for the most now. Now is the time where the mixing comes in.
Parts of our History:
In 2000 Chabliz’ pianist Jan-Kees Haks deceased at the age of 37 years. He was replaced by Ewout Willems. After the release of the album “Nightporter” he left the band and was replaced by Henk Greven. Henk left the band in 2009 and was replaced by Pim van Riezen. In 2007 drummer Arthur van Keppel died, also far too young. After a short period of mourning he was replaced by Ap de Ree.
Half of the original bandmembers were gone now, which meant a lot for the other bandmembers.
In 2009 Chabliz recorded a demo with the famous dutch guitarplayer Dany Lademacher. In 2010 the band released a quite weird coverversion and video from Michael Jacksons song “Billie Jean”. The band made a resonant gothicversion of this song. It was played many times at several radiostations, also on radio 2. People loved or hated this version, and there was nothing in between.
mixing and mastering
Yesterday we finalized most of our mixes. We also decided the track sequence. Tomorrow we will bring our album to the mastering studio. Minus two songs, we decided to remix them to get a better result. The remixing of those two songs will take place this weekend…

Valentines Night succesfull
The Valentines Evening last tuesday was a success. Chabliz played the song “Don’t believe” that she wrote together with the Danish guitarist Henrik Olsen a long time ago in Copenhagen. This was the first time that Chabliz played the song, also recorded for the upcoming album, live for an audience in Holland. Pianist Pim van Riezen did the backing vocal. he played on a big white grand piano. On our facebook page you can see a photograph of the gig.
Theatre Branoul was fully booked.
Chabliz also played “i put a spell on you” from Screamin’Jay hawkins. The audience got mad by hearing this.
Tomorrow evening Chabliz will mix the last song of their new album.
Valentines Night SOLD OUT 🙂
Valentines Night sold out ! The Valentines Night in Branoul, where Chabliz (amongst others) is playing live tonight, is sold out :-). There are only a few pitches left, but only a few, because of fire safety requirements…
Wimification:
We are very proud to announce that producer Wim Oudijk will arrange and produce “the Swing”, one of our songs from our new, upcoming album. Wim has many fans at Facebook, and at FB his fans buzz about a new word for the musical dictionary: “Wimification”. Which means: a song, arranged and produced by Wim. Nobody has such an original approach to music as Wim has. But with Chabliz we are close ! Eventhough we say: “The Swing” needs some wimification. Wim also produced and arranged our last album, “Nightporter”. You are able to visit his website here: www.discofair.nl
small live gig at february the 14th:
At February the 14th, valentines day, we will give a small (mini-)concert. We play three songs live at the Valentine’s evening in theatre Branoul, maliestraat 12, Den Haag (the Hague).
Start: 8 p.m. (20.00 uur). www.branoul.nl

week 52: recording and mixingweek:
A happy newyear for everyone !!!!
The last week of 2011 we made the last recordings for our new album. We also made six mixes, for six of our songs. Our new album will count eleven songs, which means that we still have to do five mixes. We will do this the next weeks. After that the album will be mastered by……………………….
childrens choir:
Last weekend we recorded a childrens choir for one of our songs. We invited the daughter of the singer and the daughter of the drummer and recorded them several times. it was a great succes and you will be able to hear and see the results soon………… 🙂
gig at 26-01
Chabliz’ next gig will be at the 26th of january, 2012. See the “concerts”- button for more information.
trumpet:
this weekend our guest-trumpetplayer will record two parts for our new album 🙂
Musicians Day:
Today we were at the Musicians Day. We listened to a nice speech from Dany Lademacher and some other good speakers. We showed our new songs to three A&R and radiomanagers. They all liked our two new songs very much and found them “beautiful” and “good”. One of them (from a big record company) told us he’s serieusly thinking about signing a deal with us. But first he has to hear some more of our …new songs of course. We still are in the middle of the recording process, so this will take time. “No problem. We have time”. “But do you still remember us then ?” “Yes, I will remember you, don’t worry. Just call me when you have a few more songs ready.” We are glad, and Pim is especially glad after his hard labour with all the mixing. The last time that we showed a mix to an A&R manager (4/5 months ago ?) we got a lot of critics on the mix. At that time the mix wasn’t ready yet. This time we passed the test, which is great. Tonight we will do some mixing on some drumtracks.
Breakfast with cello:
Yesterday Giselle played the cello in the “breakfast” song. What a beautiful instrument this is and how much better is the sound of a real cello above a sampled one ! The cooperation with Giselle was very good, there was a good “vibe” and we have the intention to do more together in the future.
Pim also bought some new studiogear, a new mixing table with 32 tracks. The pictures of the new table are placed on our Facebookpage.
Breakfast almost ready
Our new song “Breakfast” is almost ready. This week pim made several mixes from the song, and we prepared the song for the celloplayer, who is going to add a cello solo on the track. The planning of the new album release is due in the first quarter of 2012.

recordings & facebook:
Yesterday Chabliz was in the studio again, recording the vocals in G from “Don’t Believe”. In G, because the song was first in A, then in As, and now, in G. We also did the choirs. It wasn’t the best recording session ever, but it also wasn’t bad……..we’ll see.
Chabliz is now also accessable at Facebook, where the band has its own page.

” Dear Wim,
I am delighted I’ve heard your CD. It’s just brimming with talented decisions from top to bottom ! Of course, I’m touched that you included the piece I wrote. It is impossible to sing, I’ve been told, and Petra de Winter just smokes in her hot performance !
I am deeply grateful to you for your kind gesture.
Peace & love to all who helped bring this to such a succesful performance.
Van Dyke Parks.
P.S. We love the artwork as well. Too cool.
