Named after an animal that falls under the moth category, LE MOTAT (A.K.A. The Guilty Pleaser) is an act for exactly that kind of people: night owls.
Somewhere in a dark alley off the street of Doe Maar and Ton Lebbink, the Rotterdam native writes and produces idiosyncratic Dutch-language pop songs, and gives performances that are deliberately a little disruptive.
After he has just caught you off guard with an absurdist song about ‘Karton’, you then find yourself all singing along to songs like ‘De Mat’, ‘1 Uurtje Verliefd’ or ‘Naar de Klote’. After all, if everything is going ‘To Hell’ anyway, it’s better to go together.
