Pelvic Fins
Band speelt op eerste editie van singer-songwriter festival The Brave
1 augustus 2014

“Nou dat moet ik kunnen, want ik heb vrije school gedaan” is hoe Gijs van der Voort reageerde toen ik hem vroeg een band portret te tekenen van zijn band de Pelvic Fins. Hij vond het verstandig om op lengte te tekenen: drummer Bart van Westrop moest heel knap want hij is namelijk het sekssymbool. Zelf kreeg hij netjes een gitaar en bassist Dolf de Meijer werd getekend met zijn hoofd lichtelijk gekanteld, omdat dit zijn zangstijl symboliseert.
