Jan.O & De Overige Bandleden

We are a Dutch-language music collective consisting of a bunch of Burgundian comrades who work nonchalantly and with a touch of fun. At the head is Jano van der Wegen, our band poet, lyricist and gentle autocrat who provides our music with well-considered, weak talk.

As the initiator, he took a group of musical buddies by the collar and transformed them into the "Other Band Members". Nick Pauptit, the master of the master, is part of this group. As an audio engineer, Nick is supposed to be behind the controls, but he has a habit of falling asleep on the couch after half an hour of work. In such cases, he is assisted by Dion Peters, a baker who is a complete failure. Dion provides the music with choruses and acts as a beat surgeon. Sometimes his operations fail, which is why we soon find ourselves looking at our own Ukrainian folk singer Dana Havrylyuk. Dana has been singing every note in the frequency register her entire life. Her name means "gift from God". Yet we notice that even the gift of the almighty does not master the Dutch language. That is why we switch to Jop Willemsen. A tall instrumentalist who provides our compositions with chords. Jop is often put to work to play a thousand and one pieces. To avoid exhaustion, he often secretly forgets to bring his bass guitar. Lazy! Despite our shortcomings, nice songs still come from our tinkering. Hopefully you agree! See you soon. Kiss.
