Mooi Wark

A Dutch rock band with a boerenrock style, Mooi Wark broke through to success with hit singles like "Idioot" and "In de Blote Kont," and Top Ten albums like Bok 'm d'r Op! and Rock & Rodzooi. Founded in 1992 in Drenthe, The Netherlands, the band has revolved around frontman Bert Koops on vocals and guitar. Mooi Wark made their full-length album debut with Zwoegen In't Heuj (1992), followed by Zo Plat As Wat (1996). Four subsequent albums increased their following, and the payoff came at last in 2006 with the breakout hit single "Idioot" and the album of the same name. Bok 'm d'r Op (2008) spawned another hit single along the same lines, "In de Blote Kont," and proved the group's staying power on the charts. ~ Jason Birchmeier
