The Stangs

The Stangs is a Beat group from the Hague. By combining influences from the sixties with sounds inspired by the Dutch west coast, they create their own genre called Dune Beat. Expect jangly guitar and organ riffs backed by a melodic bass and swinging drums, yet still leaving room for harmonies with the occasional shout. Watching them live is like going back to the old days, as stated by Phil May from the legendary ‘Pretty Things’. The Stangs released their debut single 'The Horse' on Dutch/Scottish label Mink Records in May 2016. An EP 'Parable' followed on the 17th of February 2017, featuring guest appearances from classical musicians from the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra, Gambian percussionist Ebou Gaye Mada, Jazz saxophonist Benjamin Herman and Jazz students from The Royal Conservatoire. Both records were recorded and produced at PAF Studio in Rotterdam with Dutch 60's enthusiasts Dave von Raven (The Kik) & Marcel Fakkers (The Madd), and are available on vinyl, CD and digitally on all major platforms.
