Biography

Founded In
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Yvo Sprey (guitar/vocals) and Vicente Pino (electric guitar) - started out in 2007. After a chance meeting on stage at the Winston in Amsterdam, they decamped to Yvo’s attic space and got busy re-arranging pieces that Yvo had already written. Soon enough they were creating new compositions and progressed from playing as an acoustic duo, to bringing in the electric guitar and roping in other musicians. Now, they perform both as an acoustic duo and as a semi-electric quintet. Their first album – SUPERCITY - uses lows on Yvo's voice, contrabass, percussion, drums, backing vocals, SCREAMING electric guitars and occasional keys. The influences on SUPERCITY are diverse, but the one element that’s apparent on all the tracks is simple: they are an electric generation nostalgic for acoustic sounds. All recordings were made using genuine 50's and 60's gear, including: amps, reverb tanks, resonant wood and tube gear that just kills.
