Name

Hennie Van Halen

I've dreamt of being a musician from as early as I can remember, spending days curled up in front of my dad's vinyl player listening to the old 70's classics. Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, CCR. When I turned 13 my parents graduated me from a crummy nylon acoustic to my first electric guitar and this paved the way to starting a band in my final year of high school. This was short-lived, due to studies and a brief stint as an english teacher in China but a few years later, after meeting Laudo at a house party, I switched to bass guitar and started working on what would become our first album Dutch Courage.

About Me
Born in Boksburg on the east rand of Johannesburg, on the 15th of May 1984. Moved to Cape Town at the age of 5. Shameless fan of the 80's.
Hennie's Gear
Hennie plays a Fender Precision Bass guitar through a Sansamp Bass Driver. Simplicity is key.
