Dutch band (The) Nits looks back on an extraordinary career of fifty years, in which the band has published an enormous amount of very different albums, has played countless concerts all around the globe and has participated in many side ventures. A band that chose its own path and that continues to evolve in unexpected ways. Starting out as a power pop band with songs in the vein of the Beatles, the Kinks or the the Hollies, they evolved into an outfit with an own sound, a mixture of pure pop with classical and neo classical, jazz and folk elements. Then came the hits, like "Nescio" or "In the Dutch mountains", but the Nits kept on exploring their sonic possibilities, thereby expanding the envelope of pop music. A curious band, in all senses of the word.
"Dial Nits" features core members Henk Hofstede, Rob Kloet and Robert Jan Stips in conversation, but also collaborators, friends and family from many different countries talking about the music and about the background stories to this unusual career of musicians from the Netherlands.
Production: Darren Hayne.

The beautiful history of a unique band
This beautifully produced podcast by Eric Facon, Swiss radiomaker and friend-of-the-band since the early 1980s, is a treasure for everyone interested in Dutch band Nits, but also for everyone interested in the motivating story of a couple of boys starting a band and slowly developing into a truly original band that keeps reinventing themselves from obscurity to international success to end up doing their own thing on their own terms and have been going for 50 years now!
Especially the story as told by the band members themselves and those around them show what an amazing story this is. Illustrated with lots of music, including never before released material.
A recommendation for everyone who loves music, great stories and top quality podcast production and of course an absolute must-listen to all Nits fans!
