Bees and Us are Menno Baas and Chris Petter. For over 30 years Chris and Menno make music together. We started doing jam sessions, got into tape recorders very soon, you know reel to reel, with ping pong technique. After 4 instruments there was nothing left of the first recording. But it was a lot of fun. We started several bands in those days, but never succeeded to keep the good guys together. So when the real recording equipment started to be available for normal people like us, and drummachines and stuff got on the market, we took our chance and build our own studio. The word spread around, so all our friends ended up in our studio doing their recordings for their albums. Every now and then we could find the time to do some recordings for ourselves. We did some work for TV stations, but in all there was not much left of our own music. In the 90′s we both totally drifted off, Chris started rebuilding Italian classic sportscars, and I started a shop with Italian delicatesse. But to cut a long story short, we are still playing and doing recordings, we decided that by now it is time we finish of an album and put it into the world.
