The band
Max van der Schoor
Vocals
At the center of the stage, Max is an unstoppable force, leaping and headbanging with electric energy. His impressive vocal range, capable of everything from raw screams to haunting whispers, delivers each lyric with visceral emotion, pulling the audience into the heart of every song. Beyond his powerhouse vocals, Max is also the band’s creative engine, penning or co-writing most of Angry Chair’s tracks and infusing them with depth and intensity.
David Veen
Rhythm guitars & backing vocals
Fueled by anger and an ungodly amount of beer, David brings an intensity that’s impossible to ignore, both on stage and off. As Max’s writing partner, he crafts lyrics that take aim at anything he finds dumb, irritating, or outright absurd. Pair that sharp wit with his love for heavy, crushing riffs, and you get songs that hit like a freight train. Raw, unfiltered, and undeniably powerful.
Martijn Schuur
Lead guitars & backing vocals
As the band’s guitar virtuoso, Martijn is the master of face-melting solos. Influenced by legendary guitarists, from the haunting riffs of Jerry Cantrell to the electrifying flair of Angus Young, he’s developed a distinctive style that’s instantly recognizable and elevates every song. With precision and passion, Martijn’s solos push the energy to the max, leaving audiences stunned and craving more.
Rick Kluin
Bass guitar
Angry Chair wouldn’t be Angry Chair without the thick, gritty basslines crafted by Rick. Not even a broken collarbone could keep him from grinning and grooving through a gig—a true testament to his dedication. His basslines don’t just drive the music; they make you feel it in your bones, adding a raw power that resonates long after the last note fades.
Irina van Dijk
Drums, percussion & cowbell
Irina, the unstoppable human metronome, is the heartbeat of Angry Chair. Armed with her drumsticks, she unleashes a wall of sound that rivals the power of the entire band. Her relentless rhythm and thunderous beats are the reason you can’t help but bang your head and stomp your feet, she doesn’t just play the drums; she commands them, driving every song with an intensity that ignites the stage.
