The Abundance

About Me

The abundance is a band with currently 6 members in it: Boris (trumpet), Jolien (Saxophone), Koen (vocals & guitar), Nathan (keyboard), Rein (drums) and Floris (bass), but the band shall extend, mwuahaha. It all started with Rein, Nathan and Koen. We jammed with an acoustic guitar, our VOICES and a jembee, at night in a park nearby, nothing special but alot of fun. We liked it so much that we decided to play electric. Rein played drum in his youth, Nathan could play on the keyboard and Koen had an electric guitar and liked to sing, so we started. We didn't have a bass player wich is very important, especially in reggae music, so two weeks later Flokke (Floris) started playing with us. He never played bass before but he learned it very quickly and since then he is a member of our group. We began to make other songs and we kept on jamming. We also performed on some barbecues of friends. We were happy about how things were going but we really wanted a bigger band with more different sounds, so boris, the brother of rein, joined the group. This was three weeks before our first real concert. We jammed alot in these three weeks and bojo (boris) was ready to perform with us. So that's what he did and it was a succes. Thanks for the audience! You were great. Later on Jolien (Jolle) joined de band and gave bojo some support, she's the 2nd horn player of our band, she plays saxophone. We're almost playing one year now, so there's much more to come!||For bookings, questions or anything, you can contact us by mail: [email protected] or send us a myspace message.

Influences: our music style is not the typical reggae or ska style, let's just say it is very light and happy music, a blend of mainly reggae and ska. my inspiration comes from myself and everything I listen. our main influences of these are definitely Manu chao and bob marley, ofcourse there are many many more. but these in particularry because they also have this light, happy kind of music and their own style where you can just forget all the problems around you. when we play this blend of all different influences and genres with the whole band it maybe is most similar to the babylon circus style. they also have been a great source of inspiration for me. everytime i listened to their songs it created new ideas and concepts in my mind.
Sounds Like: Ourself, a mix of reggae and ska.
