1975 - INDIGO - 1977 a next band Scarab or back to homepage

 

I grew up in the Hague listening to Bach, Elvis Presley, Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. I liked the sound of the organ and because my parents did have one (a Thomas organ) I soon learned the basics. At 16 I formed my first band with school friend Ron. Because we both liked Deep Purple the band's name should be a blue-like colour, hence: 'Indigo'.
