(Amsterdam, 1980 – 1983)
Bio: Forms after the split of Workmates. Mark and Harry teams up with Geurt and Charlotte to form the band. The other half of Workmates form the expermental band Tecnoville. After playing the Tuwat festival in Berlin (with the help of a benefit in Paradiso, Amsterdam), they organize the Dutch version. They say they won’t play Paradiso because it is commercial but ironically Harry will work there as a staff member in 1980. Geurt also films and records the ‘Rock Against Sonoy’ festival in Parkhof, Alkmaar. He also made the ‘Als Je Haar Maar Goed Zat’ DVD in 2009. Charlotte is editor of Nieuwe Koekrand and is partner of Johan van Leeuwen. In 1982 Charlotte was replaced by Jan who was foung through an ad in mainstream music magazine Oor. When members didn’t get along anymore, the band split up after the recordings of the ‘Aanklacht’ tape in September 1983.
