BIO

DriveByWire operates from the sultry town Deventer in the middle of the Low Lands,

 

Charismatic front woman Simone Holsbeek-vocals (Cords, ex-Telefunk), Alwin Wubben- low-down-dirty-guitar , and Jerome Miedendorp de Bie beating the shit out of the drums (both also playing in Cords). Furthermore there’s Marcel Zerb on bass and  René Rutten (The Gathering), who at times adds extra string induced walls of sound to the DriveByWire fuzzed up heavy desert groove…

 

A beaten up 69 Dodge Charger going fullthrottle through the smouldering desert towards an raging thunderstorm with Josh Homme at the steering wheel while The Stooges and Soundgarden are kicking it with P.J. Harvey on the backseat, would be the best possible description of the Drive By Wire sound…ooh yeah!

 

After the release in april 2006 of our debut-album and the 2nd album “Between Oceans” (3rd album expected summer 2012) they got great raving reviews, in both national and international press. This resulted in a tumultuous club-tour through Holland where they rocked some of the finest venues such as: The Paradiso (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht),Patronaat (Haarlem), Burgerweeshuis (Deventer), Effenaar (Eindhoven), Melkweg (Amsterdam), Doornroosje and Lux (both Nijmegen), Vera (Groningen), lots of summerfestivals ,toured with cool bands such as Mudhoney, Kyuss Lives! , Brant Bjork , The Gathering …. And they took the DriveByWire rock-o-rama right across the UK, Swiss  and Greece, leaving a trail of smouldering stages and flabbergasted audiences behind them….
