Boudewijn Vincent Bonebakker Biography

Boudewijn Vincent Bonebakker (born April 16, 1968) was born and raised in the town of Goes but moved to Breda at the age of 18. He is best known as the guitarist of Gorefest.

He bought his first guitar at the age of sixteen. His father told him “if you want to keep that stringed instrument, you had better learn to make some angry sound noise out of it.” He played with Stefan de Kroon (Racoon, Sjolmord) and Bert Hanssens (Hannibal) in the Stooges-like band ‘the Yamahamamamas’. After the band’s disbandment, he joined a band named LOOD, an industrial/noise band. LOOD took its influences from the music of Big Black, The Birthday Party, Rollins Band and Voivod. The band however did not last very long. In 1991, he joined Gorefest to replace Alex van Schaik.

After the break-up of Gorefest, Bonebakker took full course education in classical guitar at the Tilburg conservatory and got his degree and focused on teaching in his hometown. He was asked to form a Thin Lizzy tribute band for a local commemoration festival in 2004 and asked Ed Warby, bassist Peter Vink and singer/guitar player Ross Curry to join him. The group performed several times under the name Live and Dangerous. Shortly thereafter Jan-Chris and Boudewijn spoke for the first time in years and buried the hatchet. Gorefest was reunited. After two albums, which show a step back to death metal form, Gorefest had grown apart again and quit for a second time. This time for good.

The purchase of a Hammond organ, towards the end of 2008, inspired Bonebakker to start Gingerpig. Not so much to justify the purchase of his Hammond, but to make rock as he believes it should be made.

The first half of 2013 Gingerpig’s second album is released. The band let go of their more improvisatory side with the departure of the keyboard player. “Hidden from view” shows a more compact, song orientated band. Gingerpig now being a trio, the guitar has taken back its main role in Bonebakker’s music. Vocal wise he has become a fully matured rock singer.

The album Ghost on the Highway is released in 2015 and is followed by a tour through Europe with Kamchatka.

By the end of October 2017 Gingerpig issues the following statement in facebook:

Around that same time Boudewijn joins the instrumental space-rock collective Monomyth from The Hague. With Monomyth, the album Orbis Quadrantis is recorded which is released in September 2019. The album receives much critical acclaim.

It’s been one hell of a dream, we tried to stake our claim of relevance in the music world, a lot of the time it really felt like going against the grain, but the reality of it got the better of us. Blood is thick and one never knows if the spark will ignite again, but for now we’ll leave it to rest.”

“After eight years, three released albums and halfway a fourth in the making, we’ve decided to park Gingerpig. Agendas, personal life in general, managing the band, it couldn’t be matched with the creative flow any more. We’ve lost the spark to keep the dream alive and to keep Gingerpig going.

They started intense rehearsals to flesh out the songs. After an unreleased demo and brief series of performances, Doms decided to leave the band because he needed to focus on his other projects. Called in to replace him for a few gigs, jazz rock drummer and personal friend Maarten Poirters added such a range of possibilities to Gingerpig’s pallet that Bonebakker asked him to join the band.
