Use The Local Boy

About Me

Use the local boy was formed a long time ago, by all time friends Charlotte, Evelien and Lieselotte. UTLB has know many line-ups, but somehow the band always ended up as being a girlband. Something we found too feminist. So we had some guys over, but they left in a matter of time. Muriel joined us as bassplayer when the old one left. And we were an all-girl-band again. Luckily, we found ourselves a male keyboardplayer. Stef, and that even suits our bandname. But another problem arose when Charlotte and Lynne left the band. There was no singer and no lead guitarist. We were dagging to go on further, so we found ourselves a new singer: Evy. And a new guitar player: Hans.Contact & bookings: [email protected]!
