De Nederlandse Punk R&B Geluiden, 60's Nederbiet (White Trash Soul 60s Punk No.3)

As in the US of A, it all started with a television appearance by the Beatles in the Netherlands too. Nothing was the same the next day. Hormone-driven teenagers looking for an outlet began growing their hair long, buying or borrowing cheap music instruments, and forming bands.

As was the case in the USA (again), a movement emerged in Holland that tried to emulate the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Them and the Pretty Things. However, due to a lack of 'talent', a different sound emerged that was rougher, rawer and more anarchic and which always had the inherent characteristics of the countries in which the bands originated. The American sound is now known as '60s punk or garage punk. The Dutch have the 'Nederbeat' (or 'Nederbiet') moniker.

By now, most people are aware of the existence and importance of bands such as The Outsiders, Q65 and Golden Earrings or Shocking Blue. However, there were many other brilliant Dutch groups that have remained undiscovered, except perhaps to the most dedicated fans of the 'genre'. 

The purpose of my newer post is to highlighting these Nuggets for those who are still in the dark. I'm pretty sure that if you love the original 'Nuggets' compilations, you'll love this also. If you're sitting on some 'Pebbles' volumes, chances are some of them little jewels have been heard by you already. A full-on blast of 60s punk-R&B that's all about that mod-influenced, fuzzadelic, skull-crushingly reverbed-out sounds!
