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 is now being released through MAUSOLEUM records in the EU and later this year in the US! HIGHWAY CHILE IS Stan Verbraak - Lead vocals Martin Mens - Guitar and vocals Gert Nijboer - Lead Guitar Marshell Remeeus - Bassguitar and vocals Ernst van Ee - Drums September 2006 a new sensational Hardrock coverband is born and is referred to by the name of HEADS DOWN . This Rockcoverband plays all those classics from the 70s and 80s from last century and gathered a pretty decend following in it's early stage of existance! Think Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Rainbow, UFO, Bon Jovi... and te list goes on! In 2007 HEADS DOWN was fronted by Ian Parry (Elegy, Vengeance, Consortium Project, Ayreon) and as of 2008 Don Feltges ( Chinawhite , Powerslave ) is the new Lead singer! Gert plays the axe in this partyband! HEADS DOWN IS Don Feltges- Lead vocals Gert Nijboer - Guitar Arjo Miedema - Bassguitar and vocals Noël 'Rule'van Eersel - Drums and vocals VIDEOS Gert with HEADS DOWN Live at De Salon March 2007 Gert with HIGHWAY CHILE live at DOKK'EM Open Air 2004 |
