Git 'r Done [2:52m]: Biography
The Seatsniffers are probably Belgium’s best, most popular, longest running and most international roots rock band. Their music is best described as a blend of Rock and Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Rockabilly, Soul, Gut -Bucket Blues and Ska, delivered with a Punk-Rock energy and attitude.
Their 1997 debut album ("The Seatsniffers") outsold a lot of the major Belgian rock releases that year, got rave reviews, established their reputation as a "must see" live act, and had them sharing club and festival stages with acts as diverse as Doug Sahm, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Dr John, Buddy Guy, Dale Hawkins, Billy Lee Riley, The Paladins, Dave Alvin, Candye Kane and many others.
1998 saw the release of "All of this", and the Seatsniffers succesfully toured Holland, Germany, the UK and Norway.
This was followed by the critically acclaimed "Born again", a tongue in cheek collection of Gospel songs, produced by the Paladins’ Thomas Yearsley. In 2001, the Seatsniffers release "Shakedown", a new full-length studio album.
By this time the band is also including France, Switzerland, Austria and Spain in their touring schedule, and has played the "Hembsy Rock & Roll" and "Rockabilly Rave" weekenders in the UK.
In may 2003, the band has been on a succesful package tour of Belgium and Holland with Jason Ringenberg of "Jason and the Scorchers" and solo career fame.
June 2003 sees the Seatsniffers changing to a different record label, the Dutch "Sonic Rendez-Vous", with the live CD "Flavor Saver". This new CD was recorded live at different locations in Belgium, featuring live versions of tunes from the previous four CD’s, as well as some new songs.
In April 2004, the band releases "Let’s burn down the Cornfield" on Sonic Rendez-Vous, a new full-length studio album.
