The Nits

Dutch pop rock band

The Nits were formed in 1974 in Amsterdam (Netherlands). Towards 1989, the release of the live album Urk, the band name "The Nits" is changed into "Nits". Nits have a recording and rehearsal facility called Werf Studio and are the owners of Werf Records. Occasionally Nits are part of a band called Frits; a collaboration with Freek de Jonge. Some members of Nits, Henk Hofstede and Rob Kloet but also ex-Nits members Laetitia van Krieken and Arwen Linnemann, are part of a band called Ho Orchestra. To celebrate the 40th anniversary (1974-2014) of Nits a Swiss cover project resulted in the release of the 3CD set Isnt Nits and an accompanying 5-track digital EP Isnt Nits - Isnt Quite Enough performed by various international artists.
