Trio Tuerlings
Finally,
After 38 years there it is: the first legal release of the Trio Tuerlings! I remember the first time I saw them in '67 Obergurgl (Austria). At that time, they called themselves The Teebees. I was swept away by their insane performance and enormous hit potential. Playing 3 asynchronic tuned basses they were still searching for their definitive sound, but I decided to follow these harmonious brothers. After the tear jerking concert in Waterpreut, Belgium (1971), the death of "Mum" Tuerlings and the "swimmingpool incident" that same year, I lost track of them. Later I learned that Dave stayed behind in Bangladesh, Dennis shortly pursued a career as a charwoman, before starting his genetic experiments with cows and sheep and Donny started working as a model for the hairdressers academy. You can imagine how shocked I was meeting the boys again in a Dutch mental hospital. I was still practicing as a dentist at that time and working evening hours as a psychiatrist. After pulling some teeth and strings, I got them in the studio and the result is even better than I expected!

Have you performed in front of an audience?
Trio Tuerlings plays live as much as possible! Some people say they're live better than on CD.
Your musical influences
Our music has a sixties-feel. We have been compared with The Beatles, The Who, Q 65, Joe Jackson etc.
We like to throw in some animal-sounds, mainly cows and an occasional sheep.
Anything else?
In 2005 we released our album: Strange Fluffy Cows. It contains 15 Tuerlings-originals. On our website, www.triotuerlings.nl, you can find more information and music.
