Formed in 1967 in The Netherlands with members Robbie van Leeuwen on guitar and sitar, Fred de Wilde as vocals, Klaasje van der Wal as the bassist, and Cor van der Beek on the drums. They didn’t achieve much mainstream success, only having a few singles to their name. This inevitably led to the 1968 departure of Fred de Wilde.
