Rigby is a smart band name. Ignorant listeners immediately know where to place this band. With the music of The Beatles, of course, after whose song Eleanor Rigby the group undoubtedly named itself. And so everything is really thought out about this band, which consists of four musicians from the Rotterdam conservatory. The biography reads like a business plan, with major roles for management, record
… company and renowned producers (Erwin Musper, Billinger & Marsman). But Rigby also has a healthy 'do it yourself' mentality, which means that two homemade clips were already shown on the clip channels. Ultimately, it's the music that has to do it. They themselves say they are looking for the perfect pop song and sometimes they come close to that on their debut Everything Must Go. It is a pity that it all still sounds a bit good, and that Christon Kloosterboer is not exactly a brilliant singer. That little bit extra that could make the band rise above the rest is still being missed. Maybe on a next album, when the band has gained a lot of experience at the festivals and in the club circuit.
