De Kift

Around 1988 De Kift emerged from the Dutch squatter's movement and the punk waves of the late 70's, early 80's. Think Wire, Crass and Minutemen. Described as something like art-folk-punkers De Kift arrived to the forefront of Holland's fringe-political, musical and theatrical movements. De Kift have become legends in the Netherlands, influencing a whole generation of Dutch musicians with their combination of punk angst, world literature and the Crescendo Music of their home village where Jan Heyne, father of band founder Ferry Heyne and the oldest member of De Kift at age 75, has lived for over 33 years.
