Dear, dear e-Vengalists,
Yes! It's official; Europe's 1 party act is getting ready for take off!
Vengaboys are back in town! Well, almost..
Our first new hitsingle will be released in the UK in May.
Release dates for other countries aren't set in stone yet, but it's gonna be available worldwide for sure.
The line up consists of founding members Kim Sasabone, Denice van Rijswijk and Robin Pors and the latest addition to the fantastic four is a club cowboy that goes by the name of Ma'Donny.
To describe our new song would go a little something like thissssss:
Think 2010 space age disco bliss, addictive lyrics and big Venga-sounds you can't resist. Some different titles have been floating around including 'I call my baby angel face,
because her ears look like wings' but we can now officially confirm it is called:
ROCKET TO URANUS.
Make no mistake, it's about personal freedom and interplanetary travel. Take our word for it, accept no other explanations. It's our own song, so we know.
Get On Board It's Time To Go!!
We've had a great time shooting the video in London and L.A. and we think it's our best one ever!
To give you a small hint; after seeing it, you'll probably be satisfied in all possible dimensions. Another hint: We're not alone on this one..
There is a 'head exploding' cameo performance in the video by a UK 1 and US top 10 recording artist. Aaaaaand: Joining us in the song as well as the video is the world's most notorious (and we think loveable) media personality! We think he actually wrote some of the funniest lines of the song..
Be sure to check out our Vengatweets, Vengaboys.com or Youtube.com/vengaboyschannel for updates,
Love is the message and the message is love.
Kim, Denice, Robin and Ma'Donny..
X! X! X! X!
Under Construction
In 1998 the world is introduced to the uplifting sounds of the Vengaboys. Delivering multi-platinum pop-dance hits back to back with Up & Down, We Like To Party!, Boom Boom Boom Boom!!, We're going to Ibiza and more. The Vengaboys reached the top of the charts in over 20 countries including U.K., Germany, Benelux, Spain, South Africa, Thailand, Poland, Australia and Mexico.
Blond bombshell Denice: "The Vengaboys story was a total adventure. It took us around the world in what seemed like a nonstop fun-fest".
In 1999 it's America's turn. Up & Down and We Like To Party! storm to first place in the Billboard dance charts. Their debut album "Greatest Hits!" reaches USA gold status and the group is nominated for MTV Best Breakthrough of the Year.
To promote the single Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine) the group organized a world record longest kiss that currently stands at 29 hours.
The Vengaboys received numerous awards including the TMF Award for Best Dance Act and receive a price for being Hollands' most succesful export 'product' that year. (Yes, we beat the tulips, agricultural products, and cheese..)
And the hits kept coming; Shalala lala, Kiss (When the sun don't shine), Uncle John From Jamaica all reach top 5 in most countries. In their entire history, EVERY vengaboys single released, became a UK Top 40 hit. The group embarked on a world tour through the U.S., Australasia, Japan and South America.
Then, after releasing a ballad as their goodbye single, (Kim: "Hahaha! a Vengaboys ballad, what were we thinking?") the group called it quits and was ready for retirement.
Not a real crazy idea after selling 20 million singles and five million albums.
All went quiet.. Until..
