The Dutch New Adventures started in Groningen, Holland in 1978. Part-of the new-wave culture at the time brought them great success. The trio contributes their style to Cuby & the Blizzard, Gallagher, Cream, Hendrix, at Years After and ZZ-Top.They secured a contract with Polydor about 1979, stands the trio in the voorprogramma of a tournee of applied Golden Earring! In 1980, Earrings producer/guitarist George Kooymans helped with the first LP "New Adventures" and the group scored a hit with the track "Come On". Kooymans also produced their second LP "Wild Cats Moanin'", the group develloped an enviable reputation as a fantastic live act and on 8 June 1981 they perform at a pop-festival. In front of 50,000 rockfans they remain one of Hollands top groups. Third LP was "Follow".
After a short silence, they returned with the fourth LP, "Radiator". Henk has been replaced by the new drummer Peter Walrecht, their style became more contemporary
A further and longer period of silence from the band, followed by the "Best-off (best Adventures)" and a live-LP "Life is a mess" was released. At the end of 1989 Scorpions producer Dierks, Peter and Harry went to Germany to start a new project. Two CD's ("New emptying" and "Deep Colors Bleed") followed as well as a tour in Germany, France and the USA. Ending 1993 with the name "New Adventures" a new tour was started and with the Canadian guitarist Stalemate Travers a complete Europe tour was played.
Bass player Harry decided however in 1995 to return to Germany and then Gerrit Peat became their new bass player. A new CD "Baby Shake" was released. It is a real old-fashioned blues tune and draws upon older track: "Come on" and "Back to the pip". Soon afterwards Gerrit Peat was replaced Ruud Engelbert.
The band still tour Europe, but infrequently. (Leeds Music Scene)
