In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of making music resulted in a lot of noise. But that was less important then getting one's music published. A well known dutch label for cassette bands in those days was Trumpett Tapes. They were the first to publish the music of The Actor, who became their top selling cassette band in 1982 and 1983. The third millennium sees the rebirth of The Actor. Still using analog synthesizers (yes, the same as 20 years ago!), The Actor is back. Refining some of the old favorites and producing brand new songs.

Bio

In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of making music resulted in a lot of tape noise. But that was less important then getting one’s music published. The Actor released two cassettes with the dutch label Trumpett Tapes, thus becoming the top selling tape act in 1982 and 1983. The Actor’s first release was Exploded View in 1982. The songs – sung both in English and German – often related to fashion, modernism, dancing and appearence. This made The Actor "quite fashionable." The Actor’s second music project was called A New Concept Every Day. It was the year 1984. The New Wave scene had reached its peak. A New Concept Every Day introduced a third band member, a good looking girl with a golden voice. In 1985, The Actor recorded Covergirl as a single for Mercury Records. This was the last year of the band's existence. But now, The Actor's back. Marcel Reimer and Sander Horsthuis are back together again to re-record their all time favourites and some of the 'forgotten' songs of 1980-1985. Check out www.theactor.nl for the latest news.
