Clean Pete

Clean PeteGeheimen

The most beautiful Dutch indie pop songs by the twin sistersYou know Clean Pete for their crystal-clear harmonies, guitar and cello, dry humor, a touch of philosophy, and the most beautiful Dutch indie pop songs. From five stunning albums on the Excelsior Recordings label, including the acclaimed Christmas album Gloria. From the sparkling festive buzz of their Christmas shows. From their cheerful Clean Pete Journal at major summer festivals like ITGWO and de Parade. At the beginning of 2026, twin sisters Loes and Renée will shake the Christmas glitter from their hair and tour together through the Netherlands with the theater concert Secrets. Besides the title track and Hout van jou — from their 2014 debut album Al zeg ik het zelf — they will also perform many new songs. Renée’s cello relentlessly lulls a song to sleep, while Loes cuts down a lover with an almost apologetic sneer in her voice. Secrets becomes one of those evenings when you leave the theater smiling, humming a song that stays with you for days.
