Since I’m Sorta On The Subject…IndoRock. Indonesian Rock from the Tielman Brothers

Listening to Dengue Fever for my last post got me on the whole Rock Music via The Far East. A while back, while YouTubing Myself I stumbled upon perhaps the greatest rock band of the late ’50s: the Tielman Brothers.

I could go on for a few graphs about how they grew up in Indonesia, their father was a captain and later quartermaster in the KNIL (Royal Dutch Indonesian Army) and, after being in a Japanese concentration camp and raising his family, encouraged his children to play music. They toured Indonesia, then got huge in the Netherlands, yadda yadda. Fuckit, just check out the clip and dig in:

rock!
