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 bedroom demos began circulating among friends in the Amsterdam music scene they eventually made their way to Jacco Gardner’s bassist Jasper Verhulst. After adding Bram Vervaet on lead guitar and Nic Niggebrugge (also currently in Jacco Gardner) on drums, tracking began for the debut Eerie Wanda album in an old Cold War-era bunker in Vondelpark, Amsterdam. Their first live shows were met with much enthusiasm and a slot supporting L.A. band the Allah Las for several dates on a European tour was quickly secured.

Eerie Wanda is marked by Marina’s sepia-toned songs, sung in a dreamy tenor and based around timeless melodies and arrangements. The songs stick to a classic formula, evoking a warm summery nostalgia and drawing comparisons to Broadcast, Angel Olsen & the tuneful dynamics of Buddy Holly.
