An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 32




And that brings us to Volume 32 of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. This time 65% of the numbers came from recent purchased vinyl. I will keep telling that Discogs has become a major resource for discovering and hunting vinyl from bands and artists, that sometimes released one single only. But since a couple of weeks I am using a great cross reference site called Nederlandse vinylsingles. The guys behind this site are doing a great job, tracking down all Dutch vinyl singles.

Some information on several songs.

The Kimono track is spelled wrong. I kept it this way, since the cover of the single shows the same title. It’s one of the groups of which I used the single b-side instead of the a-side. The others are Blackout (b-side of Obscure Disco), G.T. Modell (b-side of Scratch Your Act) and Weekend At Waikiki (b-side of The Valley).

Frederic And The Flies was a one off project by producer duo Bolland and Bolland. Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, the song contains ingredients of Stand And Deliver.

The live tracks of Prima Volta, Creditz and Fall Out were taken from the cassette Hollandse Nieuwe 2 (Melkweg live, 1984).

Skeletronics is a doubtful contribution. The band was original founded by the Israeli Danny Shoshan. Alice Schreij, who through her LinkedIn page tells to be a member of Skeletronics since 1983 as well along with Okkie Huysdens (known for ‘Stars On 45’ and ‘The President’ among others). Both are Dutch and are mentioned in discogs on the release ‘Coming Alive’. I am still 

Than at last there are the one release wonders being Kimono, Prima Vista, Victor Fictoor and James Joy. The later two being the same artist Victor Heeremans.

Also interesting to mention. Tom de Jong was the singer of G.T. Modell. Last Friday he did the blind audition for “The Voice Senior” and came through.

01. In Formation - Soldiers Sing (3:46)
02. Blackout - Schooldays (4:07)

13. Skeletronics - Your Love Is Alright (3:58)

Hi Rissan,

sorry to tell you the access to Vol.32 is restricted because of wrong key or something like that.

Really like listening to your stuff. Very much appreciating it. End 70s till mid 80s I heard quiet a lot of New Wave as well as extremely strange U-ground music from all over the world, but the Netherlands were very scarce back then. Acutely, with exception of a few trax, not even on the map. Not even in the quirky record stores I regularly frequented. I never thought there were so many bands and projects - and at the very least at this high quality - playing New Wave and off beat tunes.

Thanks and keep it up.

Marcus
