The Black Dynamites - The Black Dynamites (60's Indo Rock).
Indo-Rock is a well known Dutch rock 'n' roll music genre, which florished between 1955 and 1965 and was introduced by Dutch immigrants with an Indonesian heritage, with Andy Tielman (Tielman Brothers) in pole position. The Indo-Rock highlighted from 1959 till 1963. In those days dozens of singles (vinyl of course) were issued by Indo-Rock bands with a lot of success. It was very popular in Holland as well as Germany.
The Black Dynamites from Den Haag was one of the oldest rock & roll groups in the Netherlands. Nonetheless, they worked primarily in Germany and Spain while they recorded their records mainly in Belgium. The first line-up in 1958 consisted of: Harry Koster (g, s, ex-Real Room Rockers), Rudy Copiens (g, soon replaced by John Swart, ex-Real Room Rockers, in 1964 to Eddy And Crazy Jets), Harry v.d.

Henny Heutink, later in Dick Scott & Barons), Nico Fioole (v, g), Fred Christoffel (g, to Travel Five) and Rudy Piroeli (g, ex-Black Magic Stars, to Hurricane Rollers). In 1960, the line-up featured: Harry, John, Aad v.d. Zadel (dr, ex-Rocking Sensation Boys), Shorty Miller (b, ex-Oety And Real Rockers, to Strangers) and Roy Alfonsz (g, ex-Oety & Real Rockers, to Fred Barney & Flintstones and Strangers). In 1964 - Harry, Rudy Piroeli (b), Albert Kramer (g), Nico Fioole (v, g) and Herbert Hooikaas (dr). This line-up won a talent competition in 1964 in Spain and made an EP under the name of Los Indonesios.
The 1967 line-up featured: Harry, Nico, Rudy, Henny Heutink (s, g), Shorty Miller (perc), Dolf de Vries (g, ex-Pacifics) and Spanish musician Rafael (v, dr). At this point, the group broke up.
