As you may know we've been working on new songs to steer us in a slightly bluesier direction. As a taster here's a few videos from a gig we did in a tiny little pub in Groningen the other day.

Don't Get Me Wrong

Hey Goodlookin'

And we have a new slow song that we're particularly proud of!

Over You

We are working very hard on new songs for a new release. The new stuff is going to be bluesier than ever. For us it is really like gong back to where we started some twelve years ago: ZZ Top, SRV, Johnny Winter. That kinda stuff. But this time it'll be our own compositions of course :-)
We look forward to recording the new bluesy stuff.
So stick around, we'll see each other somewhere in 2010!
Cheers,
Floor, Frank , Thomas, Willem and Rob

Sad news today: the Philip Sayce gigs are cancelled. Philip hurt his hand and his doctor told him to take total rest for a few weeks.

Get well soon Philip!
And hopefully we can do the gigs in Zoetermeer and Weert later this year? Or next year?

And the good news today:

Philip Sayce was also going to be headliner for the Bluesnight in Duiven.
Guess who they asked to fill the spot?
Right!
Superfloor will be headlining the very last edition of the Bluesnight Duiven!

September 2009

About two weeks ago we did a real cool gig at the Culemborg Blues festival. Here's a few pics (click on the picture to go to the linked site of utrecht roxx and scroll way down)

The day after Culemborg we did a really nice show in our hometown Arnhem. It was a sunny afternoon in the (Sonsbeek)park. For this one occasion we were back to the four piece line-up because our keyboard player Willem had other obligations. But despite Willem's absence we still did a great gig in front of about thousand visitors.

January 2009

We are proud to announce that keyboard player Willem Hoving is now officially a Superfloor member. Willem already joined us on a couple of gigs in 2008. With his Hammond, Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds he adds a new colour to the Superfloor sound. The sound that we had been searching for quite some time actually ;-)
Welcome Willem!

November 6: Arrow Bluesbox is back!

After a year on hiatus, Holland's premier Blues Rock deejay Gerry Jungen is back on the airwaves. Yesterday he made his return to the Arrow Rock Radio with a blistering edition of his Blues Box. And guess what? Gerry played "You're So Cold" off the Kharma Baby album! Thanx Gerry, you RAWK.

We strongly recommend that you check out Gerry's own website: www.diejongenvanjungen.nl

October 30: Live videos online.

We have a few videos online from the gig we did a while ago at Loonies in Nijmegen. Below we've posted a few URLs for full STEREO audio videos. (With the &fmt=18 code behind the normal URL)

August 11: Great review on Bluesrockers.ws

The American/Norwegian website Bluesrockers.ws (dedicated to Bluesrock across the globe) wrote an excellent review on Kharma Baby:

It is especially rewarding for me to receive a CD for review when it comes as the creation of a band who is on my personal list of favorites. Such is the case with "Kharma Baby", the latest release from the Netherlands based band Superfloor.
Fronted by the Dutch Tina Turner, Floor Kraaijvanger, Superfloor combines the very best of both worlds: high quality, powerhouse vocals with a hard driving, guitar centered, blues/rock band. Lady Floor is among the finest female vocalists to be found in this genre but this is by no means a one woman show here. The band is monstrously good as well and includes the stinging guitar of Frank van der Wiel, the thunderous bass of
Rob van den Broek (and you know how I love great bass players), and some tremendous drumming compliments of Thomas Calis. "Kharma Baby" finds the band varying just a bit from their earlier bluesier material into a much harder and more raw sound, and the move has been both very natural as well as allowing for a better showcasing of the band's collective talents. And quite a collection of talent has indeed been assembled in Superfloor.
" Kharma Baby" features 11 original tracks written by the band as well as a guest appearance on two tracks by the outstanding Rob Lamothe on vocals. Lamothe's history with a some of the band goes well back and his inclusion on this set is yet another of several strokes of genius in the assembling of this remarkable recording.
The tracks are all excellent and worthy of your attention. My personal favorite though without question is "You're So Cold", which features highly emotional vocal exchanges between Floor and Lamothe. Just when you think this song is all about the vocals, the musicians hit the break with searing guitar, absolute gut wrenching bass, and some rock solid and very tasteful drumming . But, as I said, the entire CD is very enjoyable and you no doubt will discover favorites of your own.
" Kharma Baby" receives my highest recommendation for addition to your personal music collection and is available from the fine folks at CD Baby. Be sure to stop by and visit the band online at www.superfloor.net. Keep your eyes (and ears) open in the future for great things to come from Superfloor.

August7th: Superfloor on Last.FM

Bored with all the mediocre crap that's on the radio all day?
Check out Last. FM and create your own radiostation that will only play what YOU like!
And the good news is: Superfloor is on it too!

http://www.last.fm/music/Superfloor

That means we have a profile that you can check, you can listen to full length songs.
If we get enough listeners, tags, shouts and scrobblers (whatever that may be) we will get our own "radio station" that people can tune in to.

thanx,
SF

July 5th: Great review in MusicMaker!

Dutch musicians magazine Music Maker wrote an excellent review on Kharma Baby. Our latest album is highlighted in the review page:

SUPERFLOOR
Kharma Baby

Although the Arnhem based Superfloor of female vocalist Floor Kraaijvanger has already been around for several years, this is their first full length CD. Where at previous demos the basis is a little more bluesy, this CD is a bit rougher. In fact it’s blistering rock with a soul feel. And al in a very pleasant form! Bass player Rob van den Broek and guitar player Frank van der Wiel played in Bittermoon prior to this band. Master drummer Thomas Calis (perhaps one of the best drummers of our country!) has a past in Wildebeest, a super band that perished untimely. Bring those peple together, give them a little time and something very beautiful originates! Kharma Baby is a CD filled with passion, flashy guitar parts, beautiful harmonies and a smashing foundation. To me a complete surprise, but I like to be surprised in this way! Superfloor rocks, grooves and swings away lustily. Lead singer Floor throws all her belongins into the fray like never before.
Demerit? Now and then the production is a bit too decent. As far as I’m concerned it could've gone more loose, like it does in Lose My Cool and Miss You.
However this is an excellent CD. Gimme more!

June 10: The Germans love Superfloor...

We'd almost consider moving to Gemany with all these awesome reviews :-)

Here's another one:

June 1st: Another great review!

This time it's LiveXS that praises Kharma Baby:

SUPERFLOOR
Kharma Baby

Superfloor makes psychedelic Bluesrock, with a big fat wink to seventies hard rock including the powerful, sometimes raw, sometimes gentle voice of leadsinger Floor Kraayvanger. The musicians master their instrument more than adequate and compositionally they know the ropes. Everything sounds very tight and well-considered. The production is honest, but also a bit basic, with very few overdubs. Luckily this doesn't affect the sound at all, but a little more layered and fat production would probably lift a song such as the strong Kharma Baby to an even higher level. And although the CD tends to retreat into the background after a while, Superfloor will most certainly be a smashing live act.

May 24th: Stunning review at Home of Rock

The most consulted German rock e-zine Home of Rock wrote a stunning review on Kharma Baby. Go check it out here:
http://www.home-of-rock.de/CD-Reviews2/Superfloor/Kharma_Baby.html

If your German is a little rusty we tried to translate it in English the best we could:

Ah, Rockpalast again? Ladies en Gentlemen from Funk Rock Arnhem (well okay, Georgia sounds somewhat... more glamorous): Floor Kraaijvanger & SUPERFLOOR!
No discussion please now, this Florence Kraaijvanger is the first and biggest hope for the Funk-Rock-Throne, nevertheless she's remarkably blonde. From now on we'll call her Baby Floor.
"Kharma Baby" is the first real album of this Dutch band SUPERFLOOR, that doesn't glorify the first name of the singer for nothing. In fact, it's been ages since there's been such a drastically rocking album from the Funk, Soul, Hard Rock department, let alone with such a woman at the microphone. The three men around this Goddess can do what they want, even sometimes sound after the BLACK CROWES and relatives or a good half dozen of heroes from the Seventies ( the bass line in Been Down however is incredibly THIN LIZZY-sounding), in the end there's little more than this fantastic voice left.
Hopefully none of the gentlemen has an oversized ego. That would be fatal, because in the end each instrumentalist MUST subordinate himself to such a singing talent, no matter what he could or would. On "Kharma Baby" the devotion of the men works, even a class singer such as Rob Lamothe doesn't stand out, much less in a negative way.
Above it says: "...in the end there's little more than this fantastic voice left." That is the only - completely subjective - point of criticism at "Kharma Baby", and it cannot be justified really, realistically. The band rocks, Floor drives it to final extasy with her incredible voice, meanwhile there's wonderful Hammonds, guitarist Frank van der Wiel lets it wail/rip/slide exactky in the right places, the production is more than pleasant for today's standards, nevertheless one has the impression also after the umpteenth run that is a solo artist at work here. Honestly!, that is unfounded, SUPERFLOOR is a band and they perform that way, but the voice is supreme. What a luxury problem. Bass player Rob van den Broek can whirl up low tone mud in the opening track No Good For Me any way he wants, the Leslie horn in the title track can rotate till it turns black, the spectacular accents are set by Baby Floor.
Not until the ballad So Cold you notice the band, although that is horribly unfair, because the guys not only give it their everything, they're also good.
Such a disproportion between actual condition and perception is rare, possibly BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY were the last "victim" of this type, although they could not withstand their boss actually.
As said, one cannot practice genuine criticism at "Kharma Baby", at the most remark that not all 11 titles burst with tension, perhaps slight boredom creeps up twice, otherwise one gets offered first class Soul and Classic Rock. At the guitar Van der Wiel alternates time and again between SRV-like tones and butt-kicking Hard Rock, Van den Broek doesn't just play along with his bass, he also gladly leads the way, and when Floor sings I Wanna Rock With You one falls on one's knees anyway.
Word goes that Tina Turner wants to tour again. Perhaps someone can send her this CD to the elderly home, so she knows that it is no longer necessary - the granddaughter completes the job much better than grandma.

P.S. There's also a ballad of the year. Although you shouldn't have pangs of love when Miss You is delivered. Then the mood changes from dreamy beautiful into heartbreaking.

April 24th: New Review in Aardschok Magazine!

SUPERFLOOR
Kharma Baby

Stan Novak

I've always considered Superfloor a fine band, and with this album too there's nothing wrong. The band still operates within the familiar musical pattern and therefore doesn't open any new doors, but the professional execution has to be accepted lock, stock and barrel. Again Floor Kraayvanger leaves a distinct mark on the whole with her soulful vocals and also the rest of the band cuts a tasteful figure. "Kharma Baby" is filled with extremely solid heavy rock seasoned with blues- and soul influences. There's no real peaks on it; or maybe it's the Oriental-ish title track or the tasteful "You're So Cold" that features former Riverdogs frontman Rob Lamothe singing along. However, you won't find any bad songs on this extremely solid rock album.
