Little hat

“Little Hat is probably Holland's best-kept secret. The interplay between these three musicians is incredible. They are the real deal and sound fuller than many four or five-piece bands. As my record-spinning alter ego, DJ Mojo Man would say: DIG IT!!!” - Little Victor

Imagine yourself cruising down the highway with a beat on the radio that won’t let you take your foot off the gas. The drums keep stomping and the guitar is smoking like a Mississippi hay fire. Cops may try to stop you, but they’ll never get you. The vocals roar “catch me if you can”, while the harmonica squeals away like a mock-siren. Little Hat offer a perfect combination if you’re looking for some risk!

Machiel Meijers (Stackhouse) sounds raw and passionate on vocals and harmonica. This couples well with the primitive yet masterful guitar sounds of Dutch Blues Hall of Fame inductee Willem van Dullemen (Groovetones). Four on the floor, ace drummer Paolo de Stigter’s (Dr Velvet) right foot will make you forget there is no bass player in this outfit. It may be tempting to think that lack of bass means lack of power, but make no mistake: this alternative power-trio keeps on rocking so you can keep on rolling! Close your eyes and you can almost see a mean looking one-man band playing a relentless groove in the last remaining corner of a noisy barndance.

Releasing debut-album ‘Wine, Whiskey and Wimmen‘ and winning the Dutch Blues Challenge have opened the way for the band. Their second album “Rocking this joint tonight” is also produced by Little Victor and picks up where they left off: a search for everything rare and sleazy. Think forgotten Louisiana dirt roads and jukejoints at last call. So hold on to your hats, and get ready to shift into high gear!

Can’t wait to see you soon - check upcoming dates on our calendar! ❤️🔥

As of today, our first singles are on spotify for you to hear! Just follow this link:
Jelly Jam - Single by Little Hat | Spotify

Little Hat is coming at you with some brand new finger snapping tunes, recorded live in the studio. The gospel-styled doo wop “One More Kiss” features Paolo and Willem on backing vocals and a short but intense harmonica solo by Machiel. His wah-wah-rmonica is more prominently featured on their adaptation of Wild Child Butler’s “Jelly Jam”. Turning it into a countrified boogaloo, Willem plays a cool guitar solo one this one! Finally up to speed the band delivers a fast new orleans rock ’n roll with “My Goose Is Cooked”. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it. Enjoy!!

About three years ago we started work on our new album... We sure took our sweet time, but we are proud to FINALLY show you the cover of "Rocking this joint tonight". Man, this one has been a long time in the making!! But as hey say, all good things are worth waiting for .

In two months from today this baby gets released on CD (pre-release ordering available on our website) and all digital platforms. A release date wouldn't be official without a cool release party and we've got something really cool that we'll annouce soon! But you won't have to wait two weeks to hear what we've been cooking up, because next week we'll release an EP's worth of singles .

And there will be a lot more in the coming weeks, so be sure to check out our facebook and instagram pages (@littlehatband) for the latest news!

All the best form Little Hat!
