The Psychedelic Masterpiece You May Have Never Heard | The Outsiders - CQ

[@vincenttiggelman4978]

My dad was friends with Wally at the time. He was a wild guy who lost it later in life to dope and booze. Occasionally he would visit us and i found him pretty dense and daunting. But the Outsiders were one of the best bands to come from my home country

[@darda2449]

These guys were all over the place - punk, freakbeat, garage, psychedelia and more... And they did it all so damn well, such musical talent! I'm going to seek more of their music out right now and I feel I can't do better! Thank you again, Yesterday's Papers, you're the Guv'ner!

music for bolshevik soundtrack of tyranny

[@paulgoldstein2569]

I explained in my comment that for the sake of their completists, they had two double CDs in Holland on the Pseudonym label, Think About Today - Their Complete Works, which contained their complete previously released tracks in Holland, and Everything On Earth, containing their entire previously unreleased tracks from 1966-1968, plus outtakes from their CQ album, their complete live concert, some of which occupied side one of their first album, but those tracks appearing here without overdubbed additional live audience noise. You may be able to get them on imports, or as downloads. I only found the latter on KZbin, better than nothing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqC8pGalo95ngKs

Great to see a video about a band from my home country! The Hague was a hotbed for the Dutch rock scene in the 60s and I grew up with a lot of music from that era through my dad who was a teen at the time. Lots of great bands from the time, I can recommend Q65 and Groep 1850 to anyone who’s into the outsiders as well.

Don't forget Supersister! One of the greatest psych/prog bands ever

[@jarrettgardner0628]

Supersister was a few years later from the mid / late Nederbeat freakbeat sound as their 1st LP Wasn’t released until 1970 although still an amazing group! Honestly there’s tons of amazing Nederbeat / Nederpop / Netherlands garage punk / freakbeat / psychedelic rock / progressive rock groups from 1960’s to about mid 1970’s I could do a rundown of all the groups but this message would be ridiculously long… But in my opinion the greatest Netherlands groups from that time - Groep 1850 (aka Group 1850) & The Outsiders Some of European hot spots besides Netherlands 🇳🇱 for amazing beat, garage punk, freakbeat, mod, psychedelic rock, psychedelic pop, psychedelic folk, baroque pop, sunshine pop, acid rock, heavy psych, proto-prog, progressive rock, space rock, etc etc - Germany 🇩🇪 - Krautrock, Kosmische, Progressive Electronic, Berlin School Sweden 🇸🇪- Svensk beat, Swedish “progg” scene Denmark 🇩🇰- Danish beat, Danish heavy psych & prog France 🇫🇷- French chanson, French yéyé, French pop, French rock n roll, French beat, French progressive rock, Zeuhl, avant-prog Italy 🇮🇹 - Italian beat, Italian progressive rock “Rock Progressivo Italiano” There’s a ton of great stuff from Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, former Yugoslavia countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Vojvodina (Serbian autonomous province), Macedonia now known as North Macedonia), Greece, former USSR countries, etc Even countries such as Albania, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria had some psych / prog groups - not so much in Albania & Moldova - but the latter countries had some great groups such as Transsylvania Phoenix, Sfinx, and Progressiv TM (band moniker inspired from Hungarian progressive rock group Locomotiv GT) from Romania & Shturcite & FSB from Bulgaria Luxembourg & even the European microstates had a tiny bit of psychedelic action… The AMAZING 1960’s European psychedelic scene truly comprised the entire continent!!

[@aaarrrggghhhh]

I was lucky enough to have been introduced to The Outsiders records as a young teenager in the 1980s and I still love them today. They were very influential on an American garage rock band called the Lyres (Jeff Connolly, he was also in DMZ) from the 1980s. Their first album On Fyre is amazing and shows just how much they were influenced by them. I remember seeing a video on KZbin years ago of Jeff Connolly visiting Wally Tax's grave and another with Wally Tax from Dutch TV where he talks about only ever wearing pink socks and how much he hated paying tax. He was an interesting man. I'm really glad to have seen this, they deserve more exposure although part of me has enjoyed having them as a secret few knew about.

Very well-crafted docu about the Outsiders! Huge thanks for that Yesterday's Papers! Together with Q65, they were among the longest-haired groups in the still neatly raked Netherlands. Besides their great albums and singles, they were also very good live! Our neighbour attended an Outsiders concert in the East of the Netherlands as a teenage girl in the 60s. That was a real sensation! However, Wally Tax was as stoned as a monkey she told me 🙉. And not only Wally, the whole band seemed to be a big consumer of a native crop called Nederweed. That certainly contributed to the psychedelic qualities of their album CQ 😅! Unfortunately, only drummer Leendert "Buzz" Busch and Appie Rammers (bass) are still alive from the Outsiders. Oh yes, another little thing, Mr Rammers is not called Apple 🍎but Appie 😂. Very good job! Greetings! EJ

[@elkiebeerepoot5829]

The Outsiders were live better than Q65. I liked the Livin' Blues well live as well, though the band was a mess, because of internal problems (and drugs and alcohol, I suppose). A nice band was The Bintangs. I didn't like BZN, though the group members were really nice. In the beginning it was a pop-band without a lady-singer.

Thank you very much for creating this excellent mini-documentary about The Outsiders from Amsterdam. 🙂 I bought an original (and nearly mint) copy of C.Q. in the early 90s at a flea market here in Amsterdam for 15 guilders (= approx. 8 dollars), and it appears that my LP is now worth quite a bit more these days. ;-) In 1994 an excellent 2-CD set with 36 tracks was released on the Pseudonym label called "C.Q. Sessions" , and if you like this album it's definitely worth checking out this CD-set. I by the way saw Wally Tax quite a few times in the mid- and late 1990s in the eastern part of Amsterdam (he was living in a small apartment there), and unfortunately he wasn't doing too well health-wise and financially during the last part of his life (he passed away in 2005), and it was rather sad to see what had become of this very talented former Dutch teen idol from the 60s...

I have 'Touch' and 'Keep On Trying' - haven't listened to them in decades but will do so after this. I got them during holidays in the Netherlands.

Other top bands including Cuby & the Blizzards, Rob Hoek R&B Band, the Shoes and Sandy Coast. The Outsiders were rather rough sounding compared to the Earring, so it is understandable that Polydor would opt for the latter.

I remember The Shoes with "Time is what I need" was my favourite song from the Netherlands beside "Back Home" by Golden Earring in 1970.

Fantastic album. I'm not the only one who agrees. You can see someone bobbing their HEAD to the music at 13:15. ✌😊

YP I loved this episode. I have been trying to find Dutch 60s music since hearing the Shocking Blue and Golden Earring(s) in the 60s. While I do like CQ, I do prefer the singles of the Outsiders. Universal put out a series "The Golden Age of Dutch Pop Music" which is/was a series of two CD compilations. The Outsiders package was titled "A & B Singles and More." There was also A Wally Tax issue and a Cuby and the Blizzards issue (Dutch blues and which did have a Philips US release on Philips) that I did not buy. But I did get the Motions (Robbie van Leeuwen's group before joining Shocking Blue), Golden Earrings, andAlquin. Not that I am saying that these issues are great, but I do enjoy them. Unfortunately the booklets are in Dutch! And this issue of YP has me scurrying to the CD racks to slap on some Dutch r & r. Multidinous thanks!
