A pretty typical Dutch "beat" group of the 1960s, the Motions
were pretty popular in their native land, releasing seven albums and
over 27 singles in their eight-year career. Far from the best Dutch
group, and far from the worst, most of their hits were fairly ordinary
fare, ranging from dippy folkish ballads to tough mod rockers.
Their
best cut is the positively ferocious mod stomper "Everything That's
Mine" (1966), with a searing feedback break worthy of the early Who. They're really most remembered for their lead guitarist and songwriter, Robby van Leeuwen, who left in 1967 to form Shocking Blue, and penned that group's international smash, "Venus."(R.Unterberger, allmusic.com)
It's a pity that it seems there is not more to say about the band as three words. And i don't remember the band ''really most for their lead guitarist and songwriter, Robby van Leeuwen, who left in
1967 to form Shocking Blue, and penned that group's international smash,
"Venus''."
I remember the band most of their music, here in this collection for instance of their songs from the first album ''Introductions for the Motions' 1965 and the fourth ''Electric Baby'' from 1969. The guys was really a good pop/beat/mod/garage band from the Netherlands. Now i will think about a little of Shocking Blue, lol.
Have fun
