In January 1966, Q65’s debut single “You’re The Victor” was released and
later peaked at #11 on the Dutch Top 40. Two other singles reached the Dutch
charts the same year; “The Life I Live” (#5) and “I Despise You” (#19). Their first
album entitled Revolution found Q65 at their peak. The band played acoustic
as well as hard psych numbers along with the standards, and experimented
with harmonium and other instruments to make Revolution way more interesting
than the average Garage release.
Q65 was an iconic Dutch Garage Rock/Psych/R&B group formed in 1965 and
part of the Dutch Nederbeat genre. Consisting of guitarists Joop Roelofs and
Frank Nuyens, singer Willem Bieler, bass player Peter Vink and drummer Jay
Baar, the band was inspired by Rhythm and Blues traditionals and the songs
of Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon as well as The Kinks, The Animals and
The Rolling Stones. Q 65 were among only a handful of non-English speaking
bands of the mid-’60s whose talent rivaled second-tier groups such as the
Pretty Things in the search for a Rock-oriented update of Chicago blues. What
set them apart is the broad range of music performed above and beyond the
basic R&B.
Revolution is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies
on gold vinyl. The package includes an insert with photographs. |
