Peng Øffe 1 jaar geleden Influenza was a dutch band from Amsterdam, that lived for a year in Paris (1968). The members of the band were (from left to right on the cover): Peng Øffe (that's me) - drums, Clovis (he is French) - percussion (not on the record), Frans Lammerts - guitar, Dop Nansink - bassguitar and vocals (vocals on the B side), Dwight ... (forgot his last name) - guitar and vocals (only on Astral Plane). Pieter Voogt was the drummer before I joint the band. The songs are recorded in 1968, I was 17 at that time and had to have permission from my parents to play in France, because I was to young. The song is written by Dwight ... and not by Nansink/Lammerts. The B side (Trick) was supposed to be the A side but Dwight (who was the roady at that time!) was playing a bit just for fun on acoustic guitar, a song he just wrote, and the producer and everybody else liked it so much that we decided to make it the A side. That song was Astral Plane. We never played it before, the record was the first time. Another funny thing is, on the record you hear a peep and then "can you hear anything?". That was not supposed to be on the record, it was the technician that opend the studio door (peep) and asked if the headphones were working (can you hear anything?). But, again, everybody liked it, so ..... Minder weergeven Beantwoorden · 10
I found this about them : "Dope psych prog from BELGIUM , only released in FRANCE during late 60°s , the sound is very trippy ( psych ) , and both tracks are great." This song is perfect, but what can be the other?
The band is from Amsterdam, Holland. I was the drummer of the band.
The B side is "Trick".
+Peng Øffe I LOVE Astral Plane. This song is amazing. Congrats. There are only two songs?
