Weed

This Vancouver-based group consists of the husband-and-wife team Dan and Cristina Handrabur, who were both born in Bucharest and fled Romania to live in Geneva, though they did not meet until they were both students at the Conservatoire in Geneva. Drawn together by similar tastes in music and art, they collaborated on music and fell in love. Dan moved with his family to Toronto, Canada, shortly after his graduation; a year later, Cristina joined him and they married. As Weed, the Dan and Cristina blend funk, trip-hop, and electronica elements into their own unique musical blend and top it with Cristina's distinctive vocals. Their debut album Hard to Kill was released in 1999.
