About the makers
Here is a little something about the creaters of
this page, so you have a slight idea who made all this.
Martine:
She was born on a cold december day in 1975 in Rotterdam,
the Netherlands. She grew up with the music of Doe Maar, a dutch singing
ska/rock/punk/etc. band, very popular in the early eighties. Sometimes
it seems she is a bit stuck in the eighties, as she also adores the all-girl
band The Bangles. Nevertheless she also listens to REM, Die Toten Hosen
(a german punk band), Björk, Garbage and even to Chris Isaak (or shouldn't
that be mentioned?). But, of course, she mainly listens to KENT. She first
heard of Kent in 1995, when one of her penpals sent her a tape with on
one side Kent, on the other side Popsicle. She mainly listened to the side
with Kent... The 'religion' seriously started with 'Isola', forgive her,
she is always late with things, for instance liking the Bangles just after
they split up...
Her favourite Kent member is Markus Mustonen. Of
course he is an excelent drummer and she also likes his attitude, whatever
that may be.
Besides her life with Kent, she likes soccer, especially
the very lousy second division team from Germany, 1. FC Köln. Getting
upset by them is a part of the hobby. But she likes more, writing stories,
letters, poetry and sometimes even songlyrics. She likes painting too,
but is hardly satisfied with the results. Her dream is it to once draw
perfect portrait of all Kent members. Keep on practising, girl!
Mariken:
She was born in 1976 also in Rotterdam, Holland.
In 1996 she started to study Swedish at university in Groningen, and that
is also the year she discovered Kent. A friend of her brought her the copy
of "Verkligen" from Sweden and from the first notes she was hooked. When
"Isola" came out she asked the same friend to buy a copy for her in Sweden,
and listening to it 24/7 also got her roommate Martine to realize how great
Kent is.
Probably she was the first one in Europe to buy the
English version of "Isola", as it was released in Holland first and she
bought it the same the it came out!
Her favourite Kent members are Sami Sirviö and
Jocke Berg. Sami, of course, being the best guitar player in the world
and doing a very good Kiss impression, and Jocke... well, he's just so
charismatic, not to mention an excellent songwriter and musician.
Besides Kent she also really likes Tori Amos and
is also a collector of her cd's. Most of them are hard to find, but not
as hard as old Kent singles! She also listens sometimes to Catatonia, Garbage,
Meredith Brooks and Alanis Morissette.
She is into sports, especially soccer (IFK Göteborg)
and icehockey (Frölunda Indians), supernatural, occultism, reading,
writing, painting...
