About This Act :



DI-RECT has a record of having seen the stage of many great festivals, national and international.
With the new lead singer Marcel Veenendaal and with Vince van Reeken as the new 5th band member on the key board, the band is more motivated than ever before and almost explodes of energy and creativity.
Their new single 'Times are changing' is released on the 9th of November in 2009, with an overwhelming result. Within one week, the single already hit all the charts.

After the release of their first single, the band immediately went of to the studio to work at a new album. Together with James Lewis (Arctic Monkeys, Simon Webbe) as their producer and Kevin Hughes (Natasha Beddingfield, Kris Allen) as their writing guide, they spend weeks in The Hague, Liverpool and London to make the album completely as the wanted it and as the felt it should be.

In 2010 on the 23rd of April, their second single 'This is who we are' is released of the equally named new album. This single again straight away hits the charts of all national radio stations, it becomes 'Hot Disc' with 538 and superclip with MTV's TMF. It immediately enters the Top 10 of iTunes, Download Top50 and the single Top 100.

May 14th their new album 'This is who we are' is released and with an enormous positive vibe welcomed by a diversity of national media like Telegraaf, Spits (festivaleditie), FHM, Off the Record, Oor, LiveXs, 3voor12 (online), Nu.nl, Feedback magazine, VPRO gids, Music Maker, etc. It entered the album top 100 on 3rd place.

They're back and full of energy to rock every festival stage that they enter.
