A sad story, but their biggest song is already 50 years old and still an incredible success!
Shocking Blue was a psychedelic rock band formed in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1967. The group was composed of Mariska Veres as vocalist, Robbie van Leeuwen on guitar, Klaasje van der Wal on bass, and Cor van der Beek on drums.
The band gained recognition with their debut single "Love Buzz" in 1969, which was later covered by Nirvana on their album "Bleach". However, it was the song "Venus" that became a huge worldwide success in 1970, reaching number one on the charts in the United States and other countries.
In addition to "Venus", the band also had other notable hits such as "Send Me a Postcard", "Mighty Joe", "Never Marry a Railroad Man", and "Inkpot". Their sound was characterized by heavy guitars, catchy riffs, enigmatic lyrics, and the powerful voice of Mariska Veres.
