Ruben Hoeke Band – 25LIVE

Ruben Hoeke Band released their live album ‘25LIVE’ through Butler Records on the 8th of June 2018.

“Playing live is something I have lived for since I did my very first gig on the 10th of December, 1992. After having recorded nine original studio albums in various styles of
music and done literally thousands of gigs, I still hadn’t recorded an official live album. When it came to celebrating my “25 years on stage” with a RHB-tour across the Netherlands the idea of capturing a show emerged again. Both shows done on September 30th, 2017 and January 27th, 2018 in Sneek were recorded.

The funny thing is that he didn’t tell us he had recorded the first show until afterwards. Well, let me tell you; that’s probably the best way to capture a real live band. Since we were unaware, we felt completely free and took all the musical risks we might not have taken if we had known the “red light” was on. I’m glad that it’s all here – a double live album, featuring my brother Eric Hoeke on heavy artillery, Mike Kamp’s pounding bass and the stunning vocals of Lucas Pruim. No overdubs, no click track, no repairs, just a steaming hot Rock ’n Roll band for your listening pleasure!” – Ruben Hoeke

Ruben also released ‘Legacy’ with Hoeke through Butler Records in 2017.
