This story thanks to Ben Groote:
In 1962 two brothers Andre and Henk Groote from Apeldoorn the Netherlands started as a two piece band performing songs of the Everly Brothers, Hank Locklin etc. After two years brother Ben Groote joined them playing drums and also added a third voice to their music. The band named Goldstar Brothers was completed by Willem Anthonius on bassguitar. The Goldstar Brothers recorded three 45 rpm before they changed their name into Geebros in 1967. Willem Anthonius was replaced by Cor Mestebeld from Zwolle and Lol Nijhuis became the organ and piano player.
In 1969 Lol Nijhuis left the band and was replaced by the Hennie Backers, a Hammond player from Zwolle. The musical style changed into more progressive rock . They changed their name into Crying Wood.
In 1974 drummer Ben Groote formed a band with the name Crying Wood again. Other members Will Meurs --later forming a band with Vandenberg bassplayer Dick Kemper- on vocals, Jan Veldkamp later replaced by Otto Fledderus, leadguitar, Cor Lievers keyboards-also doing gigs with Vandenberg later- and Gert Kozijn bassguitar. This line-up stopped in 1976 after many live gigs in the Netherlands and Germany. Some of their recordings are on youtube.
In 1976 the Andre, Henk and Ben Groote together with Geebros bass player Cor Mestebelt formed Airbubble. Their first recording Racing Car/ Dj´s Blue jeans, written and produced by the later BZN producer Roy Beltman )and co/writer Ilja Gort was a huge succes in the Netherlands and Europe. Airbubble recorded several 45´s till 1981, when they stopped as a band.
In November 2010 Geebros was asked to perform at the yearly Apeldoorn sixties festival Soos ´ 59 reunion. After a very successful gig of 50 minutes the band decided to continue.
