ZEEK's tumour removed (march '22)
"Yes, it was a bit of a shock, but I am still here, and the rest of me is fine. I'm not done yet and will continue this musical journey. I am grateful for everyone who helped me, from my family and friends to the staff at the Hospital here in Alkmaar."
Zeek is taking a sabbatical to recover fully, but he hopes to start work on new material as soon as possible. The plans are for music of a different genre to the music he played and wrote through the years. more to follow
25 years of 'FREAK' mayhem (dec. '21)
In 1996 the ZEEKtheFREAK project was started. It has had high points and low points. Also, many personal changes, and only Bas 'the Rebel Jesus' has been alongside me since day one. What do the next 25 years hold in store for the project? A different musical direction, different musicians, whatever happens, I guarantee you, it is gonna be a blast.
singles in the U.S.a. (sept '21)
Zeek has released five singles in the U. S.
They are Drowning in the demon drink, The Rain, Lost in your eyes, Xmas for the Alkies, and Blow a Fuse. The release of the tracks is to warm the Americans up for the next album, D.I.D. Things are finally starting to take off, not so bad after more than 40 years of trying.
Drowning track re-released (march '20)
The Drowning in the Demon drink track from the Idiots Seeking Sanctuary at the Armageddon album has been re-released but is now officially a single and will be available from Saturday, the 21st of March 2020. The track, originally recorded in 2004, has been re-released as a farewell to the era ZEEKtheFREAK wanted to bring to a close after the Spaced out on Planet Bizarre album. Zeek is planning to go back to the roots of the project, and the next album will be a concept album and is uncertain if this will be performed Live on stage. This will be the first album he will collaborate with other musicians writing the music, especially Stephan 'Stuffie' Stoop, who produced and arranged the Rain track from the last album. Drowning in the demon drink is a philosophical track about Zeek's time on the thin line between being a sociable drinker and an alcoholic. Links:
