U22U is based on seasoned and experienced musicians with one common passion: U2! Let's introduce ourselves:

Erwin ("Bono") Weening: Erwin has been on stage for many, many years and has been the front lead for some renowned cover bands. Besides his excellent vocal capabilities and tone range, he's a master in entertaining the audience, which is great fun to witness from stage, and probably also great fun from the crowd's perspective. He also plays excellent guitar and blues harp.

Marcel ("The Edge") Kardol: as a young kid he bought U2's first hit single in the Netherlands (I Will Follow) and still got it. Injected with guitar genes from his father, he plays U2 for decades. Over the past couple of yours he rigidly worked on his gear, including the wel known Gibson Explorer, Fender B/W strat, SG, a real '70s VOX AC30 and ton's of effects and comes as close to the Edge's sound as possible. Ah... he's our webmaster too.

Rob ("Larry Mullen jr.") Nell: tight, tighter, tightest... Rob keeps the pace and the rest of the band literally on track. Based on many years of experience in a wide variety of (rock) bands, he has worked on Larry Mullen's specific drum style: less is more. Rob also facilitates our very own, dedicated rehearsal studio.

Peter ("Adam Clayton") Multem: "stop talking, start acting". Peter brings the craftmanship from Rotterdam in the band and completes the foundation of the U2 sound. U2's bass lines are very important as they are very distinct in styles and tones. Sometimes low and deep, sometimes fast and leading and in rare occasions hammering and plucking. With or without a pick... that's the question :-) Peter does it all!

Rutger ("Brian Eno") Burgmeijer: our very own "whizzkid". Rutger has enough gear to launch a space rocket and fills in all the blanks. From background samples to leading piano. From intros to solos. Rutger is also responsible for the bands on-stage monitoring and masters the clicktracks which keep the pace. An important asset to have in our band!
