About me
Trio Koko is a Dutch band from Dordrecht consisting of guitarist Ronnie ‘Parelvet’ Smith, Timothy van der Holst on drums and percussion and Tony van der Kolk on bass and keys.

The band was founded in 1999. In the beginning their repertoire consisted of a mixture of singer songwriter songs and instrumental cocktail-surf. This can be heard on their debut album “A taste of ... Trio Koko”, which was released in 1999.

In 2000, the EP “Koko goes Blues” came out, a mini album with a title that left little to guess what kind of music was on it. Trio Koko gradually developed into a roots band with an emphasis on instrumental music. This approach resulted in the release in 2001 of “This is Koko”, a smashing album full of instrumental surf-cocktail tracks.

Most Trio Koko songs are self-written containing lots of style quotes from the wonderful world of library music, exotica and surf-cocktail. Three years after the release of “This is Koko”, little was heard of the band, due to successes of other music projects like Phil Martin’s Mystical Funk and The Soul Snatchers in which all three Kokomen also participated. Trio Koko only occasionally performed over the past years.

In 2021, however, the band is back on track! Lots of unfinished song material needed to be worked out and recorded. It took a Covid lockdown in March 2020 to do so. And a damn good job they did!

After releasing several new singles and part 1 and 2 of the “Taruko” trilogy it’s now time for the final release of ‘Taruko’ on vinyl on October 6th 2023. “Taruko” has become a varied instrumental album that wouldn’t look out of place in, let's say, a new Tarantino movie.

Tony van der Kolk and Ronnie Smith wrote the tracks. Van der Kolk produced the album and mixed it with Edwin in ’t Veld, also from Dordrecht. Edwin took care of mastering the album as well. Guest musicians and fellow townsmen on some tracks are Maarten Teekens on background vocals and Govert van der Kolm on Hammond organ. Rightfully, Taruko is a product of Dordrecht!
