Amsterdam-based Tjendol Sunrise received the Andy Tielman Award in 2012 for their continued efforts in the promotion and preservation of the classic Rock & Roll sound. With Beach Boys harmonies, Monkees attitude, and Tielman Brothers guitar licks, their Rock & Roll sound with steel guitar riffs crosses the boundaries of Country, Swing, and Blues with a Surf Rock attitude. Tjendol Sunrise recorded and toured with Andy Tielman, the legendary "Godfather" of Indo Rock and Dutch Rock & Roll who was cited as an influence of the early Beatles.
Tjendol Sunrise album credits include: The Way That You Smile: 50's Rock & Roll containing both original compositions and instrumentals (Indo Rock style), as well as covers from greats like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. 21st Century Rock: 50th Anniversary album with the great Andy Tielman of the legendary Tielman Brothers. 50's Rock & Roll, as well as Jazz and contemporary Rock. There's Always Tomorrow: The band adds a lap steel guitarist, and the result is music somewhat Country but more Surf Rock & Roll with heavy Beach Boys influence.
