Bio: Started by Frank and brothers Eric and Jeroen at the end of 1984. Gijs replaced Ed after the 2nd rehearsal. Ed did backing vocals during the 1st gig. Gijs asked Brian to play bass. Rehearsals were done in a garage box outside the city of Den Helder near airport De Kooy. Three sets were played at the first gig in Gallerie33. During the 2nd, the police entered the building. Rehearsal recordings made around the winter of 1984/85 were sent to Ax/ction Records and Moxnix. The recording on “The Fear Of Nothing Is The Beginning Of Wisdom” was made in Gallerie33. In 1985 recordings were made called the Beer O.D. (in ‘t Asiel youth center summer 1985) and Asshole (winter 1985). Since spring 1986 they rehearsed in the barn of Nosboom. They get an offer to come to the USA but some of the members were doing their final exams. Eventually the band breaks up.
