Band/artist history
Started in 2007 in the Netherlands for Burgpop festival, toured through Europe and USA. Inventors of Cello Blues. Copied by dirtycello and others. Asked to perform at numerous bars and festivals but anti-commercial stance of bass player Bas Vossen would prevent break through. Bas and Ilene McHolland got married in Reno, 2010. Performed at Namm 2018 and 2019.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
see above. Standing ovation at several clubs gave us good moments! (not the times other musicians took our tip money...)
Your musical influences
Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Queen, Zappa and many many more.
What equipment do you use?
We're NOT using a turntable. We did that at birthday parties and during breaks of real bands.
Ilene: NS Design 6 string electric cello and acoustic cello. Nitewalker pre-amp. Fishman amp.
Bas: Warwick Streamer Pro bass with Hartke KB12 amp, sometimes Acoustic B30 amp.
Anything else?
various effect pedals, Boss and Vox loop stations. Also using a ukulele, various guitars (ac & el), alesis drum kit, and various defense mechanisms against DJ's and live music haters.
