The Elementary Penguins are an Anglo/Dutch three piece indie rock band based in Amsterdam. They formed after British member Dale Wathey (Bass/Vocals) moved to The Netherlands and joined forces with Sjap Kooistra (Guitar). Shortly after in 2012 Maurits Huijgen (Drums) completed the lineup after meeting backstage at a concert.
Within days of its release their single ‘Everybody Knows My Name Especially On The Dance Floor’ was picked up by NME and Dutch radio station 3FM. Since becoming 3FM Serious Talent the band have had frequent airplay and have been playing live shows as support act for established Dutch bands.
This Anglo/Dutch three piece band makes alternative indie rock songs to which, supported by a unique energetic vocal sound, you can’t stand still.
