 RIP Pim Koopman and Frank Papendrecht (Diesel)

These guys are not very known outside the Dutch music scene, but:

What a sad period for the Dutch music scene and Diesel fans in particular. Monday was the cremation of bassplayer Frank Papendrecht and yesterday drummer Pim Koopman died of a heart attack. Bonham and Entwhistle will get competition up there.

Pim and Frank were members of the Dutch rock band Diesel (Sausolito Summernight). Pim was also known as producer of Robby Valentine and Valensia, and played in "The President".

RIP Frank and Pim

Don't forget that Pim was the founding member of Dutch progressive rock group Kayak, that was certainly his most well-known band. Of course I also really like his works on Robby's "The Magic Infinity" (although Robby might feel differently on Pim's role as a producer). Huge sounding album indeed.

RIP Pim.
