BIOGRAPHY

As of August 2003 Gert is member of the band HIGHWAY CHILE. HC operated between 1980 - 1985 and released several popular records such as Storybook Heroes (1983) and Fever (1984). In those years they toured a lot and they shared the stage with big acts like Motörhead, Whitesnake, Michael Schenker, Accept and Y&T. One of the closest fans of HC was Alfred Lagarde (R.I.P), a famous DJ, who also produced the record Storybook Heroes. HC was together with Picture, Helloïse, Bodine, Vengeance and Vandenberg at the top of the national heavy rock scene in the eighties.

In 2002 the band toured all over Holland again and made a live-recording which is now for sale with the appropriate title"On the road again". On this cd you can hear the voice of Robert Soeterboek (a.o. Ayreon, Wicked Sensation) and the guitarsound of Attila Szabo (Blind Justice).
The reactions on this tour were so overwhelming that the band decided to go on and to work on new songs. A brand new full lenght STUDIO ALBUM called KEEPER OF THE EARTH has been released through MAUSOLEUM records in the EU and will be released later this year in the US!

Hi there fellow musicians,
as you probably know it..s been getting harder and harder to get a gig nowadays.

You have it in your power to help us get one for we have entered a contest for wich we need a lot of votes.

Here..s wat you (hopefully) do;

go to www.gideonfestival.nl
choose band contest
scroll down to henderson
click STEM

That..s all and it will take you about 10 seconds. It would really mean a lot to us!!

Thanx and keep the live music alive

Hi Gert, I heard this night all the songs on your website and on MySpace, and must say, this is really the very best rock music that I have heard for years! With headphones, I have my living room to rock put, I have felt your music, my body finally powered, great! Please, please, please bring it out with your band after Bückeburg (Germany) works in the "Kronenwerke" and let the walls crack! Your music is so cool - because the young and old musicians in the "Kronenwerke" of what works just learn! Especially your song "Love and Hate" with the voice like David Bowie, great! The boys and girls must heard your voices and your playing. (Sorry for my english - I speak german!)
Sun for your heart.
