About Have I Weather

So, we are Have I Weather, we are a 2-man band recording everywhere and anytime. We make whatever comes up, we love that. Techno, raggea, german metal, samba, grunge, 80's synthpop, christmas, love ballads, eery tunes, dutch pop, we actually do not care. So take your pick, there's probably something for you in the music section below. We hope.

Who are Have I Weather?

Have I Weather is a collaboration between Martijn and Dennis, long-time friends from The Netherlands. They live 2 hours apart in both Deventer and Geertruidenberg. For Have I Weather, Dennis plays bass, guitar and vocals. Martijn plays keyboard, drums and mixing. So yes, you only hear us 2 playing every part of the song, recorded in several takes!

A sea breeze, the outback, a country that inspires. This is our tribute song to Australia!

A song written for the daughters of one of Have I Weather's band members. A sweet song about taking your time to be at ease, doing what you like best.

Monday-morning, playing around with arpeggio's and synths, this dark berlin-techno track came up. Somehow...

Tuesday we created this punkrock love song, somehow. It should be called "Iris", but she hates that song. So here it is!

Wednesday, we got a call from one of our girlfriends, she had a tooth-ache and had to go to the dentist. This complete song popped up so we had to record it!

Wednesday night we were having a drink. And quite some! One of needed to sneeze so often and hard, we asked for a handkerchief (please). "Hold on", we said, and looked at each other in surprise, "now THAT is a good song!". Thursday we were inspired, a Status Quo riff came out of nowhere, 80's metal-like vocals and hard-hitting drums! WE LOVED IT! So we recorded it!

It was thursday afternoon, we had almost finished our 5 days, when Dennis came up with these lyrics after a short walk outside. The feeling of having to leave the bubble we were in, only creating music as much as we wanted, was making us a bit sad. So this melancholic song came up, about things ending that you don't want to end, about things drifting away from you and you cannot make it otherwise not really accept it. Some retro bass synth and drum parts added, reverbs playing along, the song needed nothing more.

What song comes up when you have only an old xylophone from your youth and you feel melancholic? This one.

Inspired by 80's synth pop songs, this is what we came up with. An up-tempo song with a positive atmosphere.

A song about a failing coffee machine, somehow added to a lot of children's playlists(???), our most streamed song so far.

We wanted to write a grunge-type song. And we were in a caravan in Texel, had the mike backwards, but kept it as it is.

"Ik doe het altijd liefje", he always said. Then this Dutch song came up, we added lots of ambient synths reflecting the mood of the singer in his head, an internal struggle that leads to a moody song.

A positive raggea song. At least, we tried to, but somehow it sounds like we do not really mean it. Funny, that.

German rock, was the assignment. So we did and had a lot of fun making it.

When someone travels to Equador and wants to have a drink, but meets geologists in his hotel.... What happens? This! A Dutch song about the adventures of an unnamed tourist.

We could not tell the full story in the Radio Edit, so here is the version with all verses included! A song about a Dutch tourist in Equador!

A dance song about a couple that just wants to revisit the old times when they danced in a squat called "Benio" in London. Can they dance again? Living up the style?

D... d... d... d... Dance! Dance In Benio re-imagined as a club version. Because... well... we don't know either.

Make a christmas song, they said. Well.. how would Santa feel these days? This is what we came up with. A full orchestra accompanies Santa as he reflects on the world. Sad santa? Let's hope in 2023 we will release Part Two to make it up to you.

You like bowling? We don't. We always get this.... GUTTERBALL! A strange song with strange tempo's and a hardstyle ending, if you want to call it that. This is one of our more experimental tunes.

A song reflecting on a long and loving relationship. A thankful song, with genuine lyrics. Not our first time.

This christmas will be the best christmas because Have I Weather released "The Best Christmas". It's happy, you can sing a long, feel festive and enjoy!
No really, have the best christmas this year. With Have I Weather, why not?
