Julian Boisvert Band 2 Gris Noir

In the year 1996 Julian Sas, young blues-man from The Netherlands, released his debut album Where Will It End!?. Today, twenty years later, that question still remains unanswered. The end is nowhere near. The Sas Boogie Train Anno 2016 rumbles faster and louder than ever. Julian plays better, sings better, and writes better. But going back to those first albums, all the ingredients were present from day one. A diamond in the rough is made to shine by grinding. In the case of the Julian Sas Band by playing, playing and more playing. Long sets … many shows….Holland, Belgium, France Germany, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Finland, England, Ireland….. For great music borders don't exist. 1996 - 2000 box-set includes the music the first incarnation of the Julian Sas Band recorded. 5 years and 5 albums of superb blues-rock. 12 page book with foreword Julian Sas, Background story of the first Julian Sas Band, the first 5 years, the first five albums and previously unpublished photos.

"Stand Your Ground" features 8 new songs and was analogously recorded in the completely renewed The Van Studios of Jan and Paul Schuurman in Spakenburg, The Netherlands in December 2018. It is the tenth studio album of the Dutch Blues-Rocker and his sixteenth if the various live albums are included. Asked about his new album, Julian tells us that Stand Your Ground has become a ‘back-to-basics’ record. Uncompromising, earthy and without frills. Proud, with passion and faith in what we do and who we are. After a year of extensive touring, it was time to capture that energy in new music. We deliberately opted for good preparation and a short recording process.

Moving into what he later described as the second part of a trilogy of albums, Jehovahkill sees Julian Cope's focus shift from environmental collapse to raging against the destructiveness of mainstream religion and an attendant celebration of earlier, heathen impulses.
