Yoshimi! isn't a band, it's just one guy, me! I'm not actually called Yoshimi!, but Niek... Living together with lots of instruments and no co-musicians I decided to learn how to play all of those in order to make some music. Together with my trusty computer I'm actually doing just that right now! I even released two EP's some time ago called 'Alive and in extacy' and 'II aka. The Cheshire Rat'! You can download those at my site: www.yoshiminotaband.com I'm I'm currently busy working on a concept-album and I've just finished a remix EP with some very nice people! I hope you like the stuff! :) Love to hear from you! Bye!

Yoshimi!
Here's an old video I've made a couple of years ago when I was even younger, had a lot of free time and called myself Atvull after being inspired by a thing written on the side of a kick-drum... It doesn't have much to do with my music, but it has with me and you might like it! :) I've heard some teachers like to use it in their French classes!
hey !! lol well, roxy and i... i lost my puppy more or less a year ago my parents sold it... yeah, i quite good thias sunday have a party !! :P have a great weekend ! ;)
Yoo, op mijn myspace staan wat foto's van de optredens.. heb er ook nog wel een paar van jou alleen, maar die mail ik je nog wel ff dan :)! (en nu ga ik eens graven in die doos)
aah ik durf nooit rood, dat krijg je er superslecht uit.. maar mn haar moet op vakantie want uh.. wispelturigheid en ongeduld is geen goede combinatie. is t mooi rood geworden?
Hoi ik zag je lopen gister okee dat klinkt wel heel vaag want nee ik ken jou niet en nee jij kent mij niet, maar op de een of andere manier herkende ik je face omdat je me had toegevoegd hier... ..Je moet het roze eens bijkleuren ;) (....maarrrr dat moet ik ook...)
You never make depressing or laughable songs! Just moving or funny! You understand what I say,we hear all the time songs about how a man meet, and fuck and is thrown out by a girl. That’s such a original topic. Well, song about rain, why not? A little challenge: I forbid you to use strange things like purple rain, don’t laugh at clouds like Gene Kelly, don’t tell stupid banalities as” rain and tear are the same” and blablabla 65 layers?! What a work! Life is fine here thanks, I really like to have (nearly) nothing important to do Bye bye
Subjects for new songs? Forget the over-singed topic like love and life, that makes us cry or laugh, speak about the fact a slice of bread and butter always fall the wrong side, a real tragedy from allday.That’s just an idea of course.;-) I now stop joking, a LP, it is sooo great!!
What a pleasure for he album. I'm impatient to get it. I'm very fine thanks... and on holiday until the end of september.. nice student life! A bientôt émilie

Hey!*Thanks for the add yoshimi. I think that it is amazing how you can play all that instruments by yourself,it sounds great!* Keep on playing good music!*
Am sad to hear about Trixie - at least you have photos of her and the operation helped. I was very upset when my mice died. Toto, the longest-lived supermouse, died on New Years Day. She was living with a friend in England as I couldn't bring her over here but she had a good, mostly free-range, mousey life. Anyway,, enough of that. Betsie is beautiful!
