Dear friends, fans & family,

Ampiphy have decided to stop!

The band members will go their separate ways. They are still great friends and buddies.
However it proved not doable to combine the different musical tastes and level of ambition between the band members.

Vincent, Martijn & Ruben like to thank everyone for joining them on their adventure.

It has been fun!

Hey Hey My My

PS: The planned gig in October will be the last official gig with the original band members.
We hope to meet you there.

The other songs recorded are Broken Down & Where Do We Go Now. Both Ampiphy songs are written by Vincent Le Blanc and appeared prior on Speed Demo & Lonely Road.
They where re-recorded to give both songs a “live” feel to them, thus representing the live experience you get when you visit an Ampiphy gig.

Rory Gallagher (2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995) was an Irish blues-rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader.
One of Ampiphy’s “guitar heres”.

Enjoy Ampiphy’s interpretation.

More great news.

Ampiphy will be ZZ Tops support act on June 6th 2010 in De Bosuil.

They look forward to playing with a UK based band.
The ZZ Tops were formed in 2007 to celebrate the music and career of ZZ Top – one of the greates rock n’ roll bands of all time. Comprising of FRANKS WEIRD on Drums, DUSTY THRILLS on Bass Guitar and the REV. BILLY F. BIGGUNS on Guitar, “That lil’ ol’ band from Devon” nails the look, the sound and the overall vibe of the Texas Trio with the beards, the cheap sunglasses, the fuzzy guitars, the outfits and all the moves! THEIR SHOWS place great emphasis on ZZ TOP’S actual LIVE performances thus creating the most dynamic stage show, packed full of brilliantly played classics from the early 70′s and 80′s, through to the new releases of today.

This is the setlist Ampiphy played at the YMCA in Scheveningen Saturday evening  March 20 th 2010.

1. Iron Man (Black Sabbath Cover)
2. Time (Ampiphy Original)
3. Ol’ Time Lovin’ (Ampiphy Original)
4. Jeremy (Pearl Jam Cover)
5. Rockin In The Free World (Neil Young)
6. Paranoid (Black Sabbath Cover)
7. Bad penny (Rory Gallagher Cover)
8. Fade To Black (Metalica Cover)
9. Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd Cover)
10. Wonderwall (Oasis Cover)

The organization only allowed two original songs. The songs Ampiphy played are homages to the artists they admire.

This is the set list Ampiphy played Saturday evening @debosuil

Thanks for providing a stage for us Bosuil

Ol’ Time Lovin’ is a song written and recorded by Ampiphy singer, songwriter & guitar player Vincent Le Blanc in 2009.

This track is recorded by the band. Vincent, Ruben Heijnsbroek and Martijn Oosterhuis where joined in the end chorus by Daisy van Vroenhoven {A fan!}.

This symbolizes Ampiphy’s dedication to their fans.

Recorded at Opnamestudio Artichoque in Ooisterwijk
The song was recorded and mixed by René Bloks & Jos Bloks.

These are some quotes by listeners on Slicethepie.

• I liked the vocal of this song.totally rocking voice.very very talented.the vocal probably makes this song the way it is now.good work.I really liked it.Cool.music is consistent.no errors at all.I enjoyed the song.!!!
• fantastic lead guitar riff, vocals suit the genre very well, great drumming and strumming, solo needs a little work as it doesn’t fit at all, needs to be more funky rather than fret w***ing
• I am not so impressed on the sudden intro of the song because it doesn’t sounds so good but on the positive side, the vocals of this song sounds like with full of energy.
• i like the drumming here and the powerful strikes which make the tracks atmosphere so alive, the vocals were a bit normal for me though the vocals has striking voice that invite audience into listening to it more. It might not be that grant but it sure has it’s parts that pull audience into it’s direction. It was hip and it seem to get even bigger a things goes on.
• the vocals are very powerful and has much emotions in this song. the instruments also augmented the song together with the vocals. has good pacing and produced good melody
• this song brings back older memories and is an oldie but is still really good and has a good guitar solo
• Pretty good tune, a toe-tapper, nice solo and licks throughout. The rough vocals made it work and brought the quality out of the song but i dunno if it would work with any other song. but all n all well done guys really good tune
• a fine track very much simplicity on it very good job on the guitar solo in the track, shows how much guitar skills on the artist
• Nice rhythm and the guitar playing is good. The rhythm is very catchy and the music background delivers. The guitar solo was very nice and i enjoyed it. The vocalist is good and just continue with that. The structure of this song is great.
• The song had instruments that had rhythm but the structure needed to sound more powerful and lively in the way it comes across in the song. the singer has a very strong voice but the background music and instruments played are not that punchy and kicky.
• good job on the drumming sound here, it was great and i find it lively and able to jive with the vocals of this song
• I give the lead male vocalist props for his immense singing abilities. The electric guitar work was rather well based too. Sounds tight.
• Thought that the singing was a bit off, but the drums and guitar combined well. But then again, I thought your voice blended nice with the music. Thought that the drums really stood out.
• This is a really lively and catchy performance, the drum beat and vocal performance struck up a great relationship, the guitar rift had some good solo moments here, nice
• Pretty cool track. The male vocals I think make a pretty good performance out of fairly average lyrics. Its quite a controlled rock track but the vocals and guitar still do very well. Its worthy listen.
• The song is good. But i suggest that they should add more life into it, add more emotion. But i love the guitar solo in this song its just that the song lacks in emotion.
• This rock music is nice and catchy to the listener. Nice beating of the drum and the rest of the instruments. I can feel the passion of the singer
  in delivering the lyrics. I appreciated the lead guitarist, it is awesome. Very entertaining.
• When you first start listening the first thing I connect this music to is classic rock. Not only does this song have an amazing electric guitar, but it has that old rock theme to it.
• I can see these guys playing a great show as a bar band. The vocalist can hit the notes just fine, but I feel like he’s not exactly feeling it. As if he’s really concentrating on being passionate rather than just letting it come out. Still, not a bad track.
