Chords(2)

:(This page is about the Dutch band. For the British band of the same name, see Chords. For the American group of the same name, see Chords(3).
The Chords (later changed their name to the Cords) were a Dutch alternative rock band between 1990 and 1999 consisting of throughout the years Arnoudt D. Pieters, Jacky Peters, Marzel Morsink, Yuko Murata and finally vocalist guitarist Simone Holsbeek. A page-wide article of the band in the Melody Maker triggered NYC-based TVT Records to sign them instantly. The band lived in New York for 2 months whilst recording the album 'Taurus, No Bull', produced by Nick Sansano. The second full-length 'Hear! See! Feel! Taste!' was taped in 3 different studios, as the band was traveling the globe constantly, Zippah in Boston, Sony Studio's in NYC and Metropool, Hengelo. After that followed their third at Zippah and finally the album 'Lunchbox' with Steve Albini in Chicago. The group spit in 1999 and did a reunion tour between 2009 and 2010.
==Links to Peel==
Peel had a copy of the band's 1991 demo in 1992 and liked it so much that he invited the band to do 2 sessions for his show. The interest of Peel led the band to be written in the Melody Maker and ultimately a record label. A track from the band also ended up on Peel Out In The States. However, after 1996, Peel seemed to lost interest in the group and rarely played any material from them.
