ADAM HOEK

I needed to take a break from my big top secret project. I love working on it, but because of its secrecy it means you guys don’t get any fresh music from me. That’s not cool in my books!
So turn your speakers up to ‘ear blistering‘ and check out ‘Away’.
I would love you forever and a day if you felt like sharing it on face book and what not.

I sat down from 9 to 6 and came up with this for you. Didn’t even have lunch. I was just lost in the world of indie rock and roll.
I love recording a track just as I write it, it keeps it fresh and exciting. In fact I started recording it before I even finished writing it!
Its not part of an album or anything, well at least it isn’t yet. Just a straight up track for you to twerk to.

For those interested in a look behind the scenes, I made a video just for you. It covers; how to build a song from scratch, song composition, instrument placement, a little about how FX are used and how (or how not to) write killer face melting guitar solos.
check it out below!

Ho Ho Holey baby Jesus, free christmas music!
I can’t believe its Christmas already. Seems like just yesterday that I was getting married.
Look at us now! I got my eating pants on, already unbuttoned and waiting for turkey. It’s gonna be a good one this year, I can feel it.
But what is the point of Christmas if you don’t get a present from someone you saw on tv once?
Well let me tell you through song/video!

Please spread the Christmas joy with your friends by sharing it with the buttons below

Merry Christmas!

Man did I have fun at the O.P.A ‘jubileum Kerstconcert‘ on saturday. It is seriously one of my favorite places to play.
Here are some pics of the show! This is the first time I used a loop pedal on stage. It went pretty well. I sung Find from my EP ‘EPH 5.19‘
I’m actually planning on recording the loop version of this track and making a video of it this week, so everyone who missed the show at O.P.A can enjoy it. So stay posted! (you can do that by signing up to my free newsletter over on the right)

Have a listen to the original and share it on facebook with your friends. Just our way to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I hope you are having yourselves a merry little Christmas. I sure am for 2 reasons.
1. Its looking like its going to be a white Christmas up in this motha-heezee this year.
2. Because I made a music video for Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

I had no idea I would be making this video last sunday. I set myself a challenge to make a video in 5 days.
I asked you what you wanted on monday(turns out you wanted christmas songs), now its friday and I am here to deliver your Christmas gift.
Thanks to everyone who helped out and sent in their Christmas wishes.

So here it is. Have yourself a merry little Christmas

What do you think?  Download Have yourself a merry little Christmas here.

Special thanks to:
Talia(bassist), Aaron, Jasmine, Matty Chaps, Rachael Leahcar, Sam Ludeman, Paul Smit, Nienke Overmars, Grace Ryan, Mark Den Uil (guitar solo) and Anastasia Yanwu.
Super cool that you were all a part of this at such short notice!
lyrics by Ralph Blane

Hey peeps, I compiled all of your requests and the one that was most requested was ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ 

I stayed up all night working on this track. So late in fact that when I went to bed, it was already lunch time (all of this is a lie).
Anyway, check out the video to see what I came up with. A bunch of you want to some how be a part of it too. So under the video there is a link to download the ninja package.
Get it back to me ASAP with your additions because I gotta have this sukka up by Friday.

Please pass this project along to your friends and tell them what’s going on. It would be horrible if they missed out.

Here is a link to the facebook post so you can thumbs it up 😀 aww… your the best. Thank you!

Download the ninja package

Check the video below, and tell me what we should do.
Exciting!
I will be tracking comments from my Adam Hoek Facebook fanpage and my Adam Hoek Youtube video as well.
So just comment where ever you are most comfortable.

Now back to saving the world.
hiii-yaaaa

 

I have a bunch of songs coming out soon. In fact I have recorded 2 this week. On my to do list is another 18 that I think you all will love but what’s the point of love if you cant share it? That’s why I have been looking at my  Facebook music Fan page.

Facebook is a great platform for independent musicians. I don’t have a label and rely heavily on word of mouth. So every time you like something of mine on the book of faces, I get a little more popular. The hipster inside me says

No Adam, Stay underground! No one should ever hear your music…that’s how it stays cool.

But then I think to myself…wait a sec.

So Shut your hipster mouth, brain! What’s the point in music if no one can hear it?  Anyway back to my point

My Adam Hoek Facebook fanpage  used to be horrible. People couldn’t even find it! I don’t know what I was thinking. Too many things going on and no order. If I was a worker bee I would be the one trying to pollinate a rock.

So I sat down and streamlined the experience. I know how much you guys love your Facebook, in fact… I’m surprised you even made it to my site! Did you know that the Internet has over 150 sites! Yeah, Google it. But for some reason everyone just goes back to Facebook. So why not give you want you want, in a form that you already have?! I know, I’m a genius. May I present to you….

Adam Hoek Facebook Music Fan Page

Isn’t it pretty?  The picture of me singing in a cafe is from the I want you back jackson 5 video. Now sure, you could go ahead and click that link and watch it on YouTube like everyone else. But you know you don’t want to! Why don’t you want to? Because YouTube isn’t blue that’s why.  What you really want, is to head back to the comfort of Facebook. The place where all your friends are.  You know… by reading this, you are probably missing out on some serious events that your friends are posting.

OMG look at that disgusting sandwich Danny is eating.

HAHA, Jessica peed in a flowerpot when she was drunk?…oh…classic Jessica.

You want to go back there don’t you? It’s understandable, I want to go too. So let me show you how you can laugh at Jessica in Facebook chat, but also, watch the jackson 5 I want you back video at the same time!

Its simple, since you are already signed in(your an addict and you should seek help) head over to the Adam Hoek Facebook Fan Page click the like button (that’s how kittens are born) then… now this is the big step…. press that awesome looking play button. You can also click the one on this page however be warned. If you click the play button on this page then you wouldn’t click the ‘like’ button on the Facebook page and kittens would become extinct! All because of you.

Now you can watch the videos, and listen to the tracks and tell Jessica your tips for getting even more hammered ‘sobering up‘,  all from one tab! Isn’t the Internet an amazing place? So what do you think of the look of it? Do you like all those triangles? What else should my fanpage have do you think? Let me know either below…or…you guessed it, on the Facebook page itself.

Oh and for you facebook junkies out there that love clicking ‘like’ buttons… under this post there is a little one just for you. I would love it if you tested it out for me. 😉
