Documentary about the crowdfunding campaign and recordings of Electric Minds (the 6th album) by Licks and Brains.
Episode 1: crowdfunding and the recordings
In this first episode you can see how one of the songs is recorded at studio Nieuwplaatz in Leiden. The band is so big, that it’s recorded in pieces by the different sections of the band. There are also interviews with the musicians Dennis de Jong, Laurens La Roi, leader/arranger Rolf Delfos and the producers Bart Wirtz, Lukas Meijers and Oscar de Jong about the recording proces and the crowdfund campaign.
Episode 2: rehearsals and shows
In this second episode you can see the rehearsals and two of their shows. One is with Frank Montis in Leiden. There is also an interview with him about his working together with Licks&Brains. And the other one is the first show with the new songs and Eric Vloeimans (trumpet) at Paard in Den Haag. During the rehearsals of the new songs, Martijn Groen (drummer) and Niels Cornelisse (tenor saxophone) are interviewed about the new songs.
