DER POLIZEI

Belgian band (with a German name) who where around in the early eighties with an explosive funky mix.

 
Songs
  "CIA"
47,7 sec. - 94 Kb.
song : Jean Rousseau
Produced : ??
Year : 1980
Record co. : Lark
 
   

Central figure of the band was Jean Rouseau. This man from Mechelen already was a veteran of Belgian rock with his pedigree of playing in Hold Up (small hit with "Playing my guitar"), with Bizjoe (kleinkunst) and with Bert de Coninck (they released the album "Enfant Terrible" in 1975 together).

 

Enjoyed a formidable live-reputation, with a mix of Zappa-esque funk and ska.

I haven't found any evidence of them having released any full albums. Help me if I'm wrong.

Frontman Jean Rousseau later on appeared as band leader for the LSP-band, a collective of ever changing (mostly well-known) musicians that performed mainly cover versions of international songs to cheer up the many festivals which are organized in Flanders each year.
