After the split up of 2 dutch punkbands, Deadlock and Gepopel, in 1986, Erik, Herry and Rolf got together to start a new band, Saudade. Disappointed by the punk-movement, where so many anti-rockstars had become rockstars, they band set off as a pop/wave band. The line-up was completed with Sandra and Alex, but Alex was soon replaced by Erix. But blood is thicker than water, and the music slowly progressed back towards punk. This eventually led to the departure of Erix, and a change of name into Yawp!, in 1989.
