Caesar

Alea facta est. The coup d'état turned out to be a fact. Caesar was a humbling power in the nineties from the first album Clean . Nieuw Nederlands Peil, nice. Zilveren Harp, too. But a song like Ocean Sounds has no limit. Hearts were conquered in droves. And with the second album No Rest For The Alonely, the last villages, Landgraaf and Biddinghuizen, also fell.

Who talks about Nirvana when they have a song like Situations Complications ?

That must have been what producer Steve Albini thought, when he decided to work with the band. A new millennium stands for the oscura porta temporis. And just when life under the Rubicon starts to get boring, Caesar heads west. The names of the band members are conveniently changed to Roald Von , Semmie Automatic and Claire Obscure . It turns out to be wishful thinking. Promised land makes debt and the band does what all bands should do, stop at the peak with a compilation called Before My Band Explodes . Hail Caesar!
