DUMPBIO We are a streetband with ambitions and exist out of various musicians; first ill introduce you( my interested dumplover )to our dumpclan full members startin of with our most devoted ritmesection .



ERNO/a very talented young man that can make a full drumset out of just about anything. Since he had to prove to his father at the age of seven that he was a true batteur ;by usin anything he could find in the kitchen to make his imaginary drumkit. In despite of his mothers efforts he atlast seduced his father to buy him a drumkit at the age of ten //you can imagin this leaves certain traces wich are put into spectrum in our live shows.



ONTHE BAsS we have superslide K-Man alias Kristof we call him our willowtree cause the name just fits him.


He has a tight bond with erno cause they seem to be able to expres themselves in various ways together with docter bjorn (see It Said) has played all kind off bassez trueout the years ;frettles 5 string doublebass he playes his instruments with a velocity that make us go back to this tree the way it bows true storms with grace you have to see it to believe it .

JAN THE BANJOMAN was our gentleman in the factory of the dumpworld in 2006 and 2007 a poet and a songwriter he is not only good with his fingers on the banjo but is an artist in all sences ;paintings, sculptures flow outta his hands just as easy . Youll see him when he passes by hopefully that glorious day his girlfriend MATHILDE comes along so you can see her and feel her rattlin yer bones with her human shakers .



Further on we have piano virtuoso Pieter Smout playing a rapid crossfire on Watson, the last album but afterwards chose to go his own way GOOD LUCK YE OLDE DEVIL !-)
