who?
Ullla are: Josien Koster on vocals,
Antwan Cornelissen on bass guitar, vocals, melodica and kazoo, Erik Stronks on guitar and Pieter van Drunen on drums.
what's the story so far?
After playing in several cover bands the bandmembers decided to start with Ullla to play something new, something of their own,
which first resulted in a demo called "Conversations In An Empty Room" in
1998. After a lot of gigs and rehearsing they went to Studio Digit for a few
days to record a new demo called "Make Me A Story" which sounds very
professional and well balanced. Ullla is influenced by divergent names like
Jeff Buckley, David Bowie, dEUS and PJ Harvey which leads to quite a unique
combination of pop, rock, jazz and noise.
why are they so good?
After listening to their new demo "Make Me A Story" we are convinced that Ullla should get a record deal, simply because this band has a style that's very much its own. The singing of Josien for example. A very sharp voice, which will get your attention instantly. She dares to sing in complete honesty about some very painful things, and her candor is real and compelling. On the other hand this doesn't refrain Ullla from playing catchy songs like 'Close My Book' and 'Stay In My Head'. The latter is a song that really stays in your head and not only because it's so addictive that you have to listen to it over and over again. In the final analysis one could say that the true strength of Ullla is the fact that you really hear a band playing: vivid guitars, stick on skin and fitting vocals.
what's next?
They'll try to get more people interested in their music with the new demo and are sure to play some more gigs although there aren't any confirmed yet. Also, they are still shopping around for a record label. If anybody deserves a shot at the big time, we feel they most certainly do.
