Herman Brood may be the only real Dutch equivalent of the Sex, Drugs en Rock & Roll lifestyle. He had his share of club-gigs and Rock & Roll before he started his own band. As a young Herman he played with Dutch Blues-masters Cuby & The Blizzards (late 60's), the bands Stud, Flash & Dance Band (with Jan Akkerman) and Vitesse. After a short reunion of Cuby & The Blizzards (mid 70's) he started his own band "Herman Brood & His Wild Romance".
