Bio:
DriveByWire operates from the sultry town Deventer; Simone Holsbeek-vocals &guitar ( ex-Cords, ex-Telefunk) , Alwin Wubben- low-down-dirty-guitar & slide, and Remco Cornelissen ( ex- Incense) beating the shit out of the drums. The band is recently joined by René Rutten ( The Gathering), who adds heavy-ass bassrumble to the DriveByWire sound.
A throat, a buch of guitars, a set of drums and a bottle of single malt whisky is all they need to burn the stage with their heavy grooving desertrock .
So how would it sound if you put Korn, the Carpenters and Madonna in a rehearsal room jammin together? Well it sure as hell won't sound as Drive By Wire. A beaten up 69 Dodge Challenger doing 160 through the smouldering desert towards an raging thunderstorm with Chris Goss at the steering wheel and The Stooges kicking it with P.J. Harvey on the backseat, would be the best possible description of the Drive By Wire sound...ooh yeah!
After the release in april 2006 of our debut-album ( follow up is expected fall 2008) we got great raving reviews, in both national and international press. This resulted in a tumultuous club-tour through Holland where we rocked some of the finest venues such as:
The Paradiso ( Amsterdam), Tivoli ( Utrecht),Patronaat ( Haarlem), Burgerweeshuis ( Deventer), Effenaar ( Eindhoven), Melkweg ( Amsterdam), Doornroosje and Lux ( both Nijmegen), Vera ( Groningen), lots of summerfestivals throughout the country,and so on, and so on....
And we toured through the UK and Greece, leaving a trail of smouldering stages and flabbergasted audiences behind us....our first succesful steps to achieve our evil plans for world domination........****************************************************************************************************

DriveByWire ( new album out!'s Friend Space (Top 20)
Ging net eens kijken of jullie eens in de buurt spelen, maar zie dat dat er nog niet in zit binnenkort. Misschien kunnen we samen eens optreden doen in omgeving Noord-Holland!
Wij hebben net nieuwe nummers online, dus hoor maar of jullie het wat vinden!
Ik ga m'n best doen om jullie snel eens te zien en horen. Kwam er eigenlijk nu pas achter (via het nieuwsbericht over de Cords in de Metropool) dat Simone verder is gegaan met DbW. Heb altijd erg genoten van de Cords en als ik de cd's weer eens draai, blijft het onwijs goede muziek. Hoop jullie nog eens voor mijn lens te krijgen!
I'll arrive on june 17 to berlin and i 'll be at Heerlen on 19 and 20 on Purmerend NL in the tryouts gigs of the gathering. It..d be great to see u there.
Hey, i forgot to tell u that i finally got my copy from CDBaby a few weeks ago. It really Rocks!!!!!
U're becoming one of my favorita bands. you should go to the try outs of the Gathering. It would be great to see u. (unlucky thare are not DbW shows the days i'll be in Germany and NL)
