    My friend just told me to watch that clip and I thought it was fúckin class!

    Does anyone have any more info on this seemingly deadly band?

    (I know I could just google them, but thought I'd make a discussion thread anyway)

    Ronan Collins played one of their "headbanging" hits today on Radio One. I think it was called "Hocus Pocus" or something like that.

    Hocus Pocus is just a laugh really, sure the playing is nifty but they have much more substantial music out there. Much better than Golden Earring (the other 'big' Dutch band of the 70s).

    normally I would not be a fan of over indulgent guitarists but that was reallly very good.
