'Q 65' History:
About Q 65The Den Haag (The Hague) group Q '65 played raw garage-style music and was often compared for that with their English counterparts, Pretty Things. Remarkable, however, was the singer's voice, who never learned to pronounce English words properly, which resulted in some really amusing-sounding output on their records. Other notable affairs of the group were, amongst others, their stunt of sailing to England by a rubber boat, and also how they often managed to hang halfway over the loudspeaker boxes, in order to keep themselves from falling over. Sometimes, in concert, Peter Vink sat down on the stage, playing as if he was stoned! Apart from that, it must be noted that their first record was the very first production of Peter Koelewijn. The lineup: Wim Bieler (vocals, harmonica, later solo with his group Dambuster), Frank Nuyens (guitar, sax, flute, in 1971 solo), Peter Vink (bass, in 1969 temporarily in Big Wheel, later in Finch), Jay Baar (drums, keys, later in Tantalus, in 1968 replaced by Beer Klaasse, ex-Livin' Blues, and also later to Finch), Joop Roelofs (guitar). The group existed from 1965 till 1974. After Wim Bieler left in 1971, Johnny Frederiksz became the new singer (ex-World, to Temple and solo as Edgar Allen Poe).
