History
In May 2002 the Dutch soul, pop & party band PitchLight was born.
The band is a melting pot of eleven musicians who previously played in bands like 'The Swing Connection',
īThe BSF-bandī and īThe Brand New Blues'. Over the past few years PitchLight has been making big steps
upwards.
With a lot of alacrity this fourteen member band, primarily from the district Sittard-Geleen-Born,
is making big steps upwards.
The one thing that seperates PitchLight from other bands is the enormous amount of energy passed on to
the crowd as well as their on-stage enthusiasm in combination with dress up parties. Therefore
PitchLight's motto is: "it's gotta sound right, but it's gotta look even better"!
Repertoire
The repertoire of these pure-bred musicians contains a lot of Soul, Pop, Rhythm & Blues and Rock
(& Roll) from the sixties, seventies and eighties with songs from:
Randy Newman, Aretha Franklin, Eddy Floyd, Wilson Pickett, The Commitments, Otis Redding, James Brown,
The Blues Brothers, Sam & Dave, the Pointer Sisters, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Joe Cocker,
Golden Earring, Van Morrisson, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Spencer Davis Group, Rolling Stones,
Booker T & the MG's, Gary Moore, Melissa Etheridge, Anouk, Van Halen and Robbie Williams.
The sound of PitchLight is characterized by a powerful rhythm section consisting of drums, percussion,
bass guitar, lead and rhythm guitars, Hammond organ, keyboards and piano. The band also has a brass
section with trumpets, trombone and saxophones.
And last but certainly not least... PitchLight has some very good male and female singers.
