An album with punk, no-wave, new wave and other underground acts from Rotterdam, recorded during the winter of 1979/1980, produced by Martin v. d. Leer and Peter Graute., and this album really means a lot to me as I was part of the Rotterdam (punk) scene back in that time.... This is me in 1980, standing in front of a podium were various punk bands were playing (Bunker, Kotx, Debiele Eenheid and J. Dops Band) after we had a demonstration, walking through the centre of Rotterdam for a new place for concerts etc. after Kaasee, a place where punk concertts were held, and Eksit was closed down....
When Rotterdam was still a great city, I don't even miss it that much now, it's changed so much, and not for the better in my opinion, I'm a stranger there now, all the cool places are gone, it's completely yuppie-fied, still some places where there are some cool concerts every now and again but nothing, really, nothing like how it was in the 70's, 80's and 90's....
