After a long run-up period in which expectations kept rising, the Tilburg rock group Wealthy Beggar is finally making its debut with Roxxx In The Disco.

We already knew that they also have the necessary ability to put things into perspective through the participation of guitarist Jordi Nieuwenburg in the Dutch championships air guitar playing in 2003, which he even managed to win. He proves that he can actually play on this CD, for example with the ingeniously stolen loop (from Ray Parker's Ghostbusters) in Sucker 4U. With Roxxx In The Disco, Wealthy Beggar has definitely put itself on the map as one of the most important new Dutch rock bands. (MS)more
