Doc played guitar and Inca played saxophone, while both performed vocal duties. After the pair split in 2013, the band continues working and touring with a different lineup.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDutch guitarist Ferdi Lancee (real name: Ferdy Dousenbach, born October 21, 1953 in Tilburg) and saxophone player Barend Fransen (born January 4, 1959 in Helmond) started working together in 2001, when they started writing lounge music in Belgium. They signed a record deal with Play It Again Sam Records in Brussels, and released the albums (In Search Of) Excellounge (2001) and Kind Of Cool (2002). Several songs are used in the soundtracks of the series Six Feet Under and the movie Ghost Rider (2007). In 2003, Gare du Nord toured the Netherlands and Russia with a newly formed band containing nine musicians. Their third album Club Gare du Nord (2005) was recorded in their own Cell4-Studio in the Netherlands. French Jazz trumpet player Erik Truffaz and the gospel singers of the American Imani Fellowship Choir contributed to the album. Around that date (2005), Barend Fransen left his job as president of Dutch record store chain \"Van Leest\" to spend more time on the band .\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Gare+du+Nord","playStationPath":"/stations/115445795/play","stationId":115445795,"bioPath":"/music/Gare+du+Nord/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Moodorama","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c7c/c7cf3cae6061e4dad58630b0ecfa114c_md.jpg","artistName":"Moodorama","artistId":93081,"station_id":274702081},{"musicPath":"/music/Us3","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/59a/59a05da25cadfecbe9faefe641dac69e_md.jpg","artistName":"Us3","artistId":6803,"station_id":113392342},{"musicPath":"/music/United+Future+Organization","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c2a/c2a0eca8666d4f5426cc6b6d583b6460_md.jpg","artistName":"United Future Organization","artistId":796,"station_id":114295661},{"musicPath":"/music/Club+Des+Belugas","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/520/5208c8795f7be0e2dba39ee06fb0eed5_md.jpg","artistName":"Club Des Belugas","artistId":100605,"station_id":280763093},{"musicPath":"/music/Variety+Lab","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6c3/6c3a4d0dc047cc363de14593431e7b42_md.jpg","artistName":"Variety Lab","artistId":3272,"station_id":115435428},{"musicPath":"/music/Rodney+Hunter","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/451/451efe5b13b0aeb47ece8e354f62a957_md.jpg","artistName":"Rodney Hunter","artistId":114251,"station_id":282865212},{"musicPath":"/music/Beady+Belle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/836/836a53f3c92ad8f102dbc8591b694765_md.jpg","artistName":"Beady Belle","artistId":127387,"station_id":284832178},{"musicPath":"/music/Ive+Mendes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f8c/f8cd2c4caac786c0cc0e93c841be688b_md.jpg","artistName":"Ive Mendes","artistId":100839,"station_id":280763327},{"musicPath":"/music/A+Man+Called+Adam","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7d8/7d8103d63cace544d83cc135ee57e688_md.jpg","artistName":"A Man Called Adam","artistId":81879,"station_id":268581484},{"musicPath":"/music/Buscemi","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/12d/12d7f21728de0c50a5969cdc16b399bf_md.jpg","artistName":"Buscemi","artistId":4233,"station_id":115411606},{"musicPath":"/music/Ibrahim+Maalouf","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e51/e51eec9c7237cf0ef7f06ebf33616f11_md.jpg","artistName":"Ibrahim Maalouf","artistId":363383,"station_id":394181396},{"musicPath":"/music/Cantoma","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/734/734d47c66d75360655612c8ccf71d9ee_md.jpg","artistName":"Cantoma","artistId":93024,"station_id":274702030},{"musicPath":"/music/Jazzanova","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3d/b3d6a7c2e57a05b795dcb1d56d78134d_md.jpg","artistName":"Jazzanova","artistId":875,"station_id":113417415},{"musicPath":"/music/Kruder+Dorfmeister","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fee/fee899cf04bca278ab557f78c11da731_md.jpg","artistName":"Kruder \u0026 Dorfmeister","artistId":491,"station_id":113337722},{"musicPath":"/music/Fila+Brazillia","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/605/60590f1ea533b208cedc7a603e5a37f3_md.jpg","artistName":"Fila Brazillia","artistId":406,"station_id":113354014},{"musicPath":"/music/Radio+Citizen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2c1/2c1eac94e19290aaa12890757244f90f_md.jpg","artistName":"Radio Citizen","artistId":93094,"station_id":274702096},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Brand+New+Heavies","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e7e/e7ee8633810b7fe8e9af2fce7e40bae6_md.jpg","artistName":"The Brand New Heavies","artistId":725,"station_id":113338430},{"musicPath":"/music/Lizz+Wright","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f83/f83d982c88525ae5c9e0d76ca253249f_md.jpg","artistName":"Lizz Wright","artistId":10702,"station_id":113264661}]}
