(Amsterdam, 1978 – 1981)

Bio: Used to be called Mock Turtle. Influenced by both punk and rock’n’roll like Herman Brood, Led Zeppelin, The Rollin Stones, and The Motors. They record in the UK because they think the soundquality of Dutch studio’s is below average. The first 7” on EMI sold very well and got them alot of concerts. An UK tour got cancelled. Theo writes all lyrics and the rest writes the music.

Lineup:
Theo van den Broek aka Richie Madness – vocals
Jan van Goolen aka Goalie – drums
Lenny de Jong aka Lenny A. River – guitar
Dan D. Rough – bass
Justin Credible – keyboard
