**Q'65 Bio** Formed in 1965 in The Hague, The Netherlands, Q'65 made their recording debut with the energetic track "You're The Victor," inspired by the Pretty Things. This was followed by the compelling "The Life I Live," a powerful slice of R&B. The band traveled to London to promote their music but faced work permit issues, ultimately using the trip as a promotional opportunity. They returned to The Netherlands on a rubber lifeboat, taking nearly 12 hours to cross the Channel, and were welcomed by around 30,000 fans at the Scheveningen Pier, where they performed an open-air concert. Their subsequent releases included the menacing "I Despise You" and "Revolution," their debut album in 1966, which featured a mix of original songs and R&B standards, including a 13-minute rendition of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Bring It On Home." In 1967, they released the "Kjoe Blues EP." As their sound evolved towards soft drag, the band faced changes when Wim was drafted into the army in 1968, marking the end of the first era of Q'65. They regrouped in 1970, releasing a new album titled "Afganistan," followed by their third and final album, "We Are Gonna Make It," in 1971, which showcased a more psychedelic sound compared to their earlier work.
