(1980 – 1983)

Meaning Bandname: No special meaning whatsoever. Maybe because we were an active band and the name sounded good.

Bio: From Velsen. Formed because of the need to make music and inspired by Sex Pistols, P.I.L., Crass, G.B.H., Dead Kennedy’s, Angelic Upstarts and Blondie. Rehearsals are done in several places around Velsen often combined with a visit to our favorite pub Gerrits in Driehuis (now Café Middeloo). The fun with the fans was a very important aspect and motivator. There’s a dislike of marketing and invented image. No concessions were made. Machteld gets replaced by Henk in 1981 because of musical differences. When bassist Sander dies, all joy vanished and the band ends.
