JL Rouvroye, 'man van het betere gitaarwerk', celebrates his 31th birthday today. Cheers.
When I first met him back in 1993 (yes, 1993) he was skinny kid in a scary metal shirt, blowing me away with some of the loudest guitar work I had ever heard in my life. Apart from a six month hiatus in 1995, we've never stopped playing together; in Spider James, Merry Pierce and again Spider James. I've watched him develop his musical technique and style of playing and going through different phases: blues, psychedelia, lo-fi indie, surf, soul, dub, afrobeat. JL has a undeniable talent to bring little pieces of these influences into a style that's really his own. He never stops suprising me.
