About The Outsiders

Genre
Rock
Encompassing R&B, folk-rock, pop, and beat influences (and adding psychedelic influences as the decade progressed), the Outsiders were one of the most popular homegrown bands in the Netherlands from 1965 to 1967. After a few singles and an EP, they released their first full-length in 1967; The Outsiders featured one side of studio recordings and another taken from live performances. After a Top Ten single, "Summer Is Here" b/w "Teach Me to Forget You," a second album compiling the group's single sides was issued. Third album CQ combined the band's beat music influences with outré psychedelia and avant-garde sounds. Polydor failed to promote it properly and the band broke up. They staged a reunion tour in 1997, but disbanded for good after the death of Wally Tax in 2005. ~ Mark Deming
