Valerie - vocals/guitar | Joey - bass | Jennifer - guitar/vocals | Dan - drums

The essence of Enda may lie in skirting the line between ostensible opposites. First off, the San Francisco quartet's sound is tough to pin down. Though Enda defy comparison with any singular band, they effortlessly intertwine the gothic atmosphere of the Cure, the alt-rock power and swagger of the Smashing Pumpkins, the dream-core sensibilities of Lush, and the dark ambiance of A Perfect Circle and latter-day Deftones.

One factor in Enda's varied musical style may lie in the group's racially-diverse mix of two men and two women. Enda's guitarists/vocalists/songwriters Valerie Moorhead and Jennifer Yee formed The Vicious Sweet in high school and went on to release the album Obsessively Yours with various temporary musicians. After streamlining and stabilizing the lineup of the girls' old band with the addition of Dan Aquino on drums and Joey Clark on bass, Enda emerged onto the Bay Area's music scene in 1999 recording their debut EP Spacious.
