The Nits are a Dutch art-pop-rock group, founded in 1974 in Amsterdam. Their musical style has varied over the years, as has their line-up, but the core members are lead singer and lyricist Henk Hofstede, Robert Jan Stips on keuboards (worked with Supersister, Gruppo Sportivo, The Golden Earring) and Rob Kloet on drums.There seems little doubt that if theu weren't so geographically challenged, The Nits would be on par with bands like XTC and Prebaf Sprout. Few bands can match their stamina: how many other bands can claim to be reinventing themselves after 30 years and 20 albums Yet, the Nits are from Holland and furthermore, the occasional tour of the U.S. and Canada aside, theu quickly made it clear that their only concession to the big outside world would be to sing in English. Also, the Nits specialize in making their latest album sound as little like the last as possible. This has simultaneously guaranteed them a modest, yet stable degree of success across continental Europe, where fans appreciate their integrity and commitment to plauing intimate venues.Their 1987 LP contains several hits, but the song that brought the band to the attention of an international audience was titletrack 'In the Dutch Mountains'.
