Espinita

About Me

Espinita existed from the year 2005 until may 2009, although the members of this band have been playing together for several years, in different casts. Songs were written by all members or they emerged during rehearsals.

We live in Groningen, the Netherlands. July 2nd 2006 and Feb 18th this year, we played in Café Marleen and the recordings above were made there.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/07/2006
Band Members:Erna Berendsen vocals, piano, synths
Louise Berendsen vocals, flute
Jans (Jantje Jonkman) vocals, piano
Remko Nieuwman vocals, guitar, bass, washing board
Johan Ouweneel drums, percussion, bass
Simon van Weelden guitar, bass, synths, sequencer
Influences: Jans has listened a lot to Ani di Franco and other singer/songwriters like for example Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. Simon listens to Eno, Fripp, Sylvian, electronic music like the music from Boards of Canada, Johan is currently involved with ... I forgot the name!(i will remind you, Erna: Spock's Beard, Salem hill, Kaipa, Genesis, Pagan's Mind) Anyway, he likes rock music, sometimes maybe kinda like symphonic progressive rock, I've listened to Kate Bush, Prince, Mahler and sung a lot of choral music made by modern and old composers. Remko, I think he listens to.. everything and nothing at the same time.
Sounds Like: Arranged for several voices, beautiful arrangements. We're very broad, with several (song)writers with divergent backgrounds. Sounds just like Espinita!
Type of Label: Major
