The Shavers (1996-2006) (2009 - 2011) are a Dutch Surf-Rockabilly trio. With only one guitar, drums and a singer, brothers Cock de Jong and Theo de Jong together with Johannes de Boom (artist name of Hans Boomsma) formed an unique band. Drummer Theo is known for his Animal-esque apperance, guitarist Cock for this cool and charismatic looks, and singer / front man Johannes for his grand posture covered in tattoos, but also for his rheumatism. Together, they perform with a lot of enthusiasm and energy.
The unique concept of hard, tight surf-rock and the sincere, rancid and sensitive Dutch lyrics - mostly about drinking - ensured very successful career within their homebase of West-Friesland. During the years, the band gained popularity and fans throughout the rest of the Netherlands. Their most famous songs are Cor de Moordenaar en Halvarine (Gatverdamme), from the album Poesiealbum.
