Q65 were a Dutch rock band formed in The Hague in 1965, known for their raw, blues-driven sound that made them one of the leading acts of the Netherlands’ 1960s beat boom. Drawing inspiration from British rhythm and blues greats like The Rolling Stones and The Kinks, they blended gritty vocals, driving guitars, and unpolished energy into a distinctive style. Their debut album *Revolution* (1966) and singles such as “The Life I Live” became classics of the Nederbeat era, cementing Q65’s legacy as pioneers of Dutch rock.
