Eerie Wanda began as the music project of Croatian/Dutch singer-songwriter Marina Tadic. After graduating art school she joined the Amsterdam group Earth Mk. II on guitar. Finding inspiration in bands like The Velvet Underground, Young Marble Giants, Beat Happening & Daniel Johnston Marina decided to try her hand at writing her own songs.
After a collection of her demos began circulating among friends in the Amsterdam music scene they eventually made their way to bassist Jasper Verhulst (formerly of Lola Kite/Moss, currently in Jacco Gardner). He fell in love with the timeless quality of her songs and they decided to put a band together. After adding Bram Vervaet (formerly of Lola Kite) on lead guitar and Nic Niggebrugge (also currently in Jacco Gardner) on drums, tracking began for the Eerie Wanda debut album in an old Cold War-era bunker in Vondelpark, Amsterdam.
So far Eerie Wanda has done a few European tours with L.A. band Allah-Las and Jacco Gardner, and last November they were one of the few Dutch acts on the bill of Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht.
