À propos

There is more than one artist with this name, including: 1) a Dutch heavy metal band formed in 1979; 2) the solo moniker used by David Kyhlberg from Swedish production duo Sail A Whale; 3) Danish minimal techno producer Natal Zaks. 1) Picture was the first real Dutch heavy metal band. Formed in 1979, they were especially popular in The Netherlands, Germany and Italy for their live performances. They still have a fan base in South America, Mexico and Japan. During their existence Picture supported AC/DC, Ted Nugent and Saxon in The Netherlands. With Saxon, they did a full European tour in 1981. Later on they toured with Rose Tattoo in Germany and headlined tours in Italy and Israël. Rinus Vreugdenhil and Laurens Bakker originally got together in 1977 and started jamming with various musicians. It wasn’t until 1979 that the classic lineup of Rinus, Laurens, Jan Bechtum, and Ronald van Prooijen came together. Jan came first and as they auditioned singers, Ronald, who they all knew, decided to step in and audition. After one session, Jan, Rinus, and Laurens decided Ronald was the man, so the classic Picture was born. Early on in Picture's career they teamed up with manager Henk van Antwerpen and signed to the label Warner Bros. Records. However, Picture felt their label were trying to steer them in a pop direction and quit the label to sign with Backdoor Records, a subsidiary of Phonogram Records. The original line-up recorded their debut album and their second effort, Heavy Metal Ears in 1980 and 1981 respectively. They started gigging throughout the Netherlands and nearby Germany and built a following. In the meantime, they started composing their own music.
