The Vengaboys

Dear, dear e-Vengalists,

Get On Board It's Time To Go!

Yes! It's official; Europe's #1 party act is getting ready for take off! The line up consists of founding members Kim Sasabone, Denice van Rijswijk and Robin Pors and the latest addition to the fantastic four is a club cowboy that goes by the name of Ma'Donny.

Make no mistake, it's about personal freedom and interplanetary travel. Take our word for it, accept no other explanations. It's our own song, so we know.

To describe Rocket To Uranus would go a little something like this:
Think 2010 space age disco bliss, addictive lyrics, big Venga-sounds you can't resist and one twisted ukelele solo.

We've had a great time shooting the video in studios in London and L.A. and it's our best one ever!

To give you a small hint; after seeing it, you'll probably be satisfied in all possible dimensions. Another hint: We're not alone on this one...

There is a 'head exploding' cameo performance in the video by a UK #1 and US top 10 recording artist. Aaaaaaand: Joining us in the song as well as the video is the world's most notorious (and we think loveable) media personality Perez Hilton! We think he actually wrote some of the funniest lines of the song..

Be sure to check out our Vengatweets, vengaboys.com or youtube.com/vengaboyschannel for updates.

Love is the message and the message is love.

Kim, Denice, Robin and Ma'Donny..

X! X! X! X!

Bio info:

In 1998 the world is introduced to the uplifting sounds of the Vengaboys. Delivering multi-platinum pop-dance hits back to back with Up & Down, We Like To Party!, Boom Boom Boom Boom!!, We're going to Ibiza and more. The Vengaboys reached the top of the charts in over 20 countries including U.K., Germany, Benelux, Spain, South Africa, Thailand, Poland, Australia and Mexico.

Blond bombshell Denice: "The Vengaboys story was a total adventure. It took us around the world in what seemed like a nonstop fun-fest."

In 1999 it's America's turn. Up & Down and We Like To Party! storm to first place in the Billboard dance charts. Their debut album "Greatest Hits!" reaches USA gold status and they were nominated for MTV Best Breakthrough of the Year award.

To promote the single Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine) the group organized a world record longest kiss that currently stands at 29 hours.

The Vengaboys received numerous awards including the TMF Award for Best Dance Act and receive a price for being Hollands' most succesful export 'product' that year. (Yes, we beat the tulips, agricultural products, and cheese..)

And the hits keep coming; Shalala lala, Kiss (When the sun don't shine), Uncle John From Jamaica all reach top 5 in numerous countries. In their entire history, EVERY vengaboys single released, became a UK Top 40 hit..

The group embarked on a world tour through the U.S., Australasia, Japan and South America. Then, after releasing a ballad as their goodbye single, (Kim: "Hahaha! a Vengaboys ballad, what were we thinking?") the group calls it quits and is ready for retirement. Not a real crazy idea after selling 20 million singles and five million albums.

All went quiet.. Until..
