| As one music magazine once put it: 'Almost everything about Seedling is extraordinary.' Three girls and a guy from Amsterdam, Holland. Catchy pop you can dance to. Guitar music with the addition of a violin and strong vocal harmonies. They played all the main venues in the Netherlands, such as Paradiso, Amsterdam, and Tivoli, Utrecht. The band also played the Noorderslag festival (for most promising Dutch bands) twice, the Lowlands-festival (Holland's biggest festival for "alternative" music) 2001 and at Popkomm 2001 in Cologne. They did several live performances on nation-wide TV and radio shows in Holland. Seedling went on a UK tour nine times, playing live shows in venues like Dublin Castle (twice), Upstairs At The Garage (twice) and The Monarch (all London), The New Adelphi (Hull), Moles Club, Bath and The Barfly (Cardiff). The band played live at BBC Maida Vale Studio's on John Peel's show May 16 2001, and on the BBC Radio "One Live"-festival 2001 in Birmingham (with Ikara Colt and Hefner). In January 2002 Seedling recorded a John Peel studio session. July 24 2003 their second studio-session was broadcast. In February 2001 Seedling's debut album "Elevator Tourist" was chosen "Pop Record Of The Week" by nation-wide radio station VPRO and in March of 2001 it gained the #2 position in "De Moordlijst" (Dutch alternative top 20). Their second album "Let's Play Boys & Girls" went up in "De Moordlijst" to #4 and stayed for eight weeks in the top 20. Tracks of the CD-EP "Sham Pain", the full-length albums and both vinyl singles were regularly played by John Peel on his Radio 1 show and BBC Worldservice program. The song "Sensational vacuum" ended in the 2001 edition of the Festive Fifty at no. 37. Seedling played CMJ Music Marathon 2003 in New York, USA on October 25 at the Sin-é club.
