The disc also featured guest appearances by Carol van Dyk and Herman Bunskoeke of Bettie Serveert, among others. The follow-up, Soulsharks, was released by Brinkman in 1998, and marked the debut of drummer Peter Palermo. The band toured Europe and the United States to support the disc. Back in Holland, van Niele recruited Verdwaald and Wilf Plum to record the band's first full-length release, Our Lady of the Highway, which debuted in 1995 on Brinkman Records. The debut included bluesy covers of the Meat Puppets' "Lake of Fire" and the Urinals' "Hologram," as well as the startling title track. The sessions were later released on the Last Night I Dreamed of Gary, Indiana EP. The AOTNZ programme is environmentally sustainable – artists travel to their audiences rather than the reverse.Roeland van Niele formed indie pop/rock group Gitbox in 1994 when the Holland native recorded the band's earliest recordings along with Maarten Verdwaald, ex- Big Trouble House member Phil Harder, and Herman Antonisse.

Since then Rattle has gone on to receive world attention for their high quality catalogue.” At this point Rattle records was created in order to release this music into the world. We received a small grant which enabled us to release our first album called, “Pesky Digits”, soon followed by the second release, “Touch Wood”. The resulting sound was very harmonious, and before long concerts, tours and albums were happening. The experiment proved successful, creating special musical games and structures for the group to piece together. I was teaching at the School of Creative Musicianship in Mt Eden, in 1987 and some of my students, Kim Halliday, Russell Hughes and Jon Pease, original members of Gitbox Rebellion, became my guinea pigs for the first project. So I decided to apply that idea with all the students. The music had many levels and included beginner players with the more experienced players. Nigel Gavin, a former member of Robert Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists said, “Back in the mid 80’s I was fascinated by the gamelan music of Bali. In sum, Gitbox Rebellion provide stimulating, intelligent, and above all, approachable music.” NZ Herald “ played with a discipline and rapport that would be the envy of any classical chamber orchestra. The group’s music is a joyous collision of worlds, managing to be infectiously moody, upbeat, grungy and intricately textured all at once. Arts On Tour New Zealand is proud to tour Gitbox Rebellion, an innovative and exciting six piece guitar ensemble performing intricate and clever original compositions and much loved guitar hero covers.
