MENNO'S EXISTENCE
I was born in 1973. I started to play bass on the
age of sixteen. Some of my ' bass heroes': Mark
King, Marcus Miller, Billy Sheenan and of course
- last but not least - Glenn Hughes and Roger Glover.
On the age of sixteen I started to perform with
several rock bands. I also did some interesting
'projects' with some great bands. I won't bother
you with all the details, I think it is enough to
clear out that during my 'infamous past' I really
had a good time playing with all those different
people and playing different styles of music (like
blues, rock, rock 'n roll and hard rock).
PURPLE RAINBOW
How did I became a member of this cool tribute band...?
To be honest, it just happened! Someone told me
that "a Deep Purple and Rainbow tribute band"
was looking for a bass player and I thought 'well,
why not? I contacted them and a few days later the
mailman delivered me a cd with all the songs of
Purple Rainbow. I locked myself up for a few days
and soon we entered the stage!
