Nasmak

Nasmak

Nasmak has been played on NTS in shows including Adam Oko, featured first on 4 May 2017. Songs played include Waiting Room, Pilot In Charge and Womb.

Nasmak was an experimental post-punk / new wave band from the small town of Nuenen, The Netherlands. As a matter of fact, they still are, as the band reformed in 2018.

Their 1982 LP 4our Clicks is generally regarded as one of the best Dutch albums of all time. The legendary John Peel was a fan of their first two albums in particular. Nasmak became the first Dutch band to do a 'Peel Session' for the BBC.

Established in 1978 as Nasmaak (Dutch for 'Aftertaste'), the group slightly altered its name in 1979 because they no longer wrote in Dutch. The word Nasmak doesn't exist in Dutch, but indicates how an English-speaking person would pronounce Nasmaak.

Closely associated with the Amsterdam-based Ultra movement, Nasmak released four fully-fledged LPs during their six year existence: Nasmak Plus Instruments / Instruments Plus Nasmak (1980), 4our Clicks (1982), Duel (1983) and Silhouette (1983). They also released three cassettes of experimental music, entitled Indecent Exposure, volumes 1 to 6 (1981-1982). Nasmak split up in 1984.

The band's core line-up was: Henk Janssen (guitar, vocals), Joop van Brakel (vocals, guitar), Theo van Eenbergen (bass) and Toon Bressers (drums). The band had several collaborators during their existence, notably Aad van Vught (bass), Koen Ankers (bass), Milco Bogard (guitar) and Truus de Groot (vocals, crackle box).

Truus de Groot worked with Nasmaak in 1978. She had a musical project of her own called +Instruments. She moved to New York in 1981 and established a New York incarnation of +Instruments, which featured Lee Ranaldo (later of Sonic Youth) for some time.

Nasmak reformed in 2018, not to perform 'greatest hits', but to create new music under a slightly altered moniker: the new incarnation is formally called Nasmak PM, with PM meaning 'Plus Minus' or 'Perpetuum Mobile'. The first album of music under the new moniker was PM 1: Perpetuum Mobile: It's Long Since You Last Did Me (2023), volume 1 in the so-called PM Series. Nasmak PM released will be listed on streaming platforms under the original Nasmak name.
