Music Style indie - fado

Musical Influences the cure, amalia rodrigues, pedro the lion

Artist History Judith and Holofernes is Mark (bass), Stitches (6-string guitar), and Dos (12-string guitarra and vocals) with additional vocal contributions from Suzie-Q and Tracy. The music that they play is best described as "Fado Core," a mix of indie rock and a particular style of Portuguese folk music (fado) known for its obsession with anguish, longing, and the bittersweet twists of everyday life. It started in 2002 after Mark, Stitches, and Dos had been playing together for years and in a variety of different bands. Somewhere between the Central Valley and San Francisco it was decided that there was no escaping the Portuguese influence they had been exposed to growing up in Northern California. One trip to Lisbon and several months later, the band was up and running, playing shows between the Valley and the Bay, giving something new to the local indie scene, and breathing life back into fado.
