Orange Sunshine are catching the very soul of the motor-blues garage-punk and acid proto-hardrock era of the late '60's and the early 70's.

With band members derived from several Dutch '80's and '90's garage-, doom-, acid-, surf-, noise-, punk- and hard-rock bands (such as Top Gear, Panty Boy, Twin Earth, the White Trash Minstrels and Sunwheel from the metro area of The Hague/Den Haag and Cromlech from Arnhem, check out www.motorwolf.com or www.godspill.net for more information) Orange Sunshine started in a squat in The Hague early 1969 as a traditional 3-piece power blues band playing a mix of blues covers and originals in a very explosive way, in the very same intense way and with the very same raw sound and the very same high volume as the much inspiring power blues bands BLUE CHEER, MC5 and STACKWADDY once did in the late '60's, rendering, or should we say screaming out, the same pain, the same drugs (LSD, amphetamines, opiates), the same tension and the same soul.

Members are: Guy Tavares - Mehdi Rouchiche - Arthur van Berkel
