Influenced by piano-stompers like Little Richard and Fats Domino, Herman Brood began studying at art school by the time he was 17; one year later, however, education became a secondary concern after he joined a group called the Moans. That band later became Long Tall Ernie & the Shakers before he joined one of the best Dutch blues combos of the '60s, Cuby & the Blizzards. He performed with the band during the rest of the '60s and into the '70s, but then broke off in 1974 to found a group named Stud. The following year's Flash & Dance Band was his first solo album, though the formation of the band Vitesse (with Herman Van Boeyen) in 1975 resulted in a group album as well, In Vitesse.

By 1977, Herman Brood had rounded up another loose backing band, this one known as Wild Romance. The first album with the new band, Street, was followed by Shpritsz one year later. The latter album contained a surprise hit, "Saturdaynight," which hit the American Top 40 in 1979. His two albums after the success, In a Bad Mood and Go Nutz, were each poorly received by both critics and fans, however. He slowly worked his way back with the more successful LPs Wait a Minute and Modern Times Revive.

Brood moved into acting as well by the mid-'80s, and made several high-profile festival appearances, but then retired from music by the early '90s. During the '90s he devoted his time to painting, returning to the music scene to promote a new compilation as well as a live album. On July 11, 2001 Brood committed suicide by jumping from his room at the Amsterdam Hilton. [Allmusic.com]

Listening to this album brings good memories, bin' to several performances of Herman and although he sometimes needed his microphone standard to keep him standing [yeah that stoned] he always did rock….
Sound quality is good, a radio performance put on an album.

Brood's outspoken statements in the press about sex and drug use brought him into the Netherlands public arena even more than his music. He was romantically involved with the German singer Nina Hagen, with whom he appeared in the 1978 film Cha Cha. He is reputed to be the subject of her song "Herrmann Hiess Er" (English title "Herrmann is High") on the Unbehagen album, 1979, about a drug addict. Brood relished the media attention and became the most famous hard drug user in the Netherlands. "It is usual that an artist uses drugs, but tells everybody he doesn't. I admit that it scared me that my popularity could make people start using drugs", he once said in an interview. [part of Wikipedia]
