Judith and Holofernes is Mark (bass), Stitches (6-string guitar), and Dos (12-string guitarra and vocals) with additional vocal contributions from Tracy. The music that they play is best described as "FadoCore," 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. 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 local music, and breathing life back into fado.
