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.
