The Machine is a three-piece rock band, formed in the end of 2007. The members are David Eering (guitar/vocals), Davy Boogaard (drums) and Hans van Heemst (bass). Since its birth, the band released three full length albums. They signed to Elektrohasch Records in 2010 who released their latest effort, Drie (December 2010). Record number four, titled Calmer Than You Are, is scheduled for a March 2012 release. The Machine will re-introduce themselves with a rawer, less jammier sound.

Live shows will stay the same though: intense and sincere, with room for improvisation. The band’s own style can be described as psychedelic rock with a modern take on old and slightly less older influences, combining several elements of rock ‘n roll history. Let’s just call it rock.

The Machine played at some amazing occasions in recent years – among them are Stoned From The Underground 2010, Roadburn 2010 & 2011, Burg Herzberg 2011 and the Up In Smoke European Roadfestival (2011, Vol. 3).

It’s better to keep the blah-blah to a minimum though. Just check them out.

"The Machine, hailing from Rotterdam, Holland, pair molten stoner rock riffs with a fair dose of retro psych for good measure. The band also excels at incorporating acid-blues jamming that lifts their whole performance into outer space. The band's latest album, Drie (out on Elektrohasch) captures the band in great form." Roadburn Festival, 2011
