KIEM

Kiem was a Dutch band from my city of birth, Rotterdam, active from 1982 till 1987. I don't know how many times I've seen them live, quiet a few times and they were always great live. The members were Huub Kentie – Synthesizers & Vocals, Ger ‘Sax’ van Voorden – Tenor Saxophone and the incredible Cees ‘IJzermans’ Meurs who played drums on a drum kit that was made out of all kinds of pieces of metal. I saw Cees once live, playing together with Dutch jazz drummer Han Bennink and there are just no words to describe how great a performance that was.... Ger van Voorden later left the band and was replaced by Jos Valster....

Way back I had a friend, John, who always went with them on tour as a roadie and he would always come back with the wildest stories, those guys were always touring all over Europe, specially Italy where they had quiet a following....
