At last year’s Turnhout comics festival, Dutch singer-songwriter Spinvis performed on stage with a real pantheon of Dutch and Belgian comics artists. On the video, you hear Nagemaakte Gek (Counterfeit Crazy), with artistic support by Hanco Kolk. It wasn’t the first time the two met up on stage : during the Strips In Stereo event in Amsterdam in 2006 Kolk illustrated a rendition of Spinvis’ song Voor ik vergeet (Before I forget).
More videos after the break. Even if you don’t understand Dutch, the music is amazing.
