effortlessly cool musical cross-pollination of Pip Blom and Willem Smit (Personal Trainer)
The longer the fling, the songer they sing. Pip Blom and Willem Smit (of Personal Trainer) join forces in their new project Long Fling. The couple crafts charming, offbeat anthems with guitar and drum machine, singing about socks, shoes, and staying home. Elusive and effortlessly cool in all the wrong ways, their music feels dreamy, warm, and just a little bittersweet. On stage, Pip and Willem are joined by Sal Rubinstein, Darek Mercks, and Tender Blom — together forming a five-piece rock band.
Steve French (not the gospel singer) is an evolving band with catchy offbeat music.It has just put itself back together again to play shows in support of their upcoming third album Painted Sea, Painted Stars, set for release in 2026. At the center of the band are indie songs with country and emo influences. Songs that move from observational humour to imaginative escapism to the unguarded sincerity of a drunk co-worker having a good cry.
