Whenever I used to see adverts on TV for 80′s artists that were doing a comeback tour I’d think “oh man, the oldies are going to love this”, but now I’ve noticed that all the bands that are coming back are ones that used to frequent the charts when I was in school. I am now one of those oldies. The Vengaboys have new tunes are are going to visit Australia early next year and Donny filled out our Q&A form (with a few extra questions). I should have asked why they’ve never been on Eurovision, they’re the epitome of cheesy Europop!

How are the group dynamics? Have they changed since you started? Group dynamic is constant. And my contribution to the group’s dymanic would be more laughter and more naughty jokes ;o)
Do you ever get sick of singing the massive hits? Hell yeah! Sometimes I just hum a Dolly Parton song in my head while doing Boom Boom on stage LOL
What exactly does “double boom” mean? LOL ….. do I really need to tell you this?? Maybe better to show you in private ;o)
How would you describe your new material? Our new material is still party music.. a bit updated sound wise but still fun, sexy and uplifting.
