The Square Keys

Boogie-blues band form the Netherlands.

Live at Pocketpop

"Raw old-school boogie blues in various shapes and forms."

"Do it yourself." is their credo. They build their own instruments, make their own artwork, recordings and write their own website.

Gijs Jacobs sings and plays foot-drums while he slides around on his homemade, double neck (slide)guitar. Gérard Schoth plays bass, giving the sound a solid back bone. This musical duo likes to disobey the structure of a setlist. They love to mix up songs, play with rythm and mash-up styles. These are the key ingredients for an always playful and surprising live act. Maikel Verkoelen is their live artist. He consumes the atmosphere, the setting, the visitors and the moment to make drawings which he gives away to the audience.

They play raw swampy blues in various shapes and forms. Sweepy slide guitar and cracking boogie. Happy tracks and spooky songs. Originals and covers in "The Square Key".
