Les Baroques - Such A Cad

In 1959, this formation from Baarn had already been playing under the names: Modern Teenage Quartet and Hurricane Combo, but they remained unknown until 1965. After having recorded a handful of excellent singles, they appeared at the Grand Gala du Disque 1966. Members at that time were: Frank Muyser (g, s, h) Rene Krijnen (o, p) Robin Muyser (b) Gerard Schoenmakers (Gary O'Shannon, v), Hans van Embden (g), Raymond Geytenbeek (v,dr). In 1967, Ferdy Karmelk temporarily joined the group, playing guitar. Michel van Dijk (ex-Minds, Mads and James Mean) replaced Gerard, who started his own Gary O'Shannon Group. In 1969, after a considerable period of inactivity, the group was in imminent danger of breaking up. Still for a few more months, it featured the line-up of: Ferdy Karmelk (g, ex-Tee Set) Bart Terlaak (dr, ex-Daddy's Act) Jan Dankmeyer (b, ex-Flower and Nonesuch), and also Michel, Rene and Frank. When the group finally folded, remaining members Jan, Ferry and Bart changed the name to Island.
