Supersister

The Profile

Dutch progressive rock group formed at Grotius College in The Hague in 1965. Led musically by keyboardist Robert-Jan Stips with flautist/vocalist Sacha van Geest, the band is noted for keyboard-and-bass-driven suites, flute passages, and a mix of Canterbury-like atmospheres and Zappa-esque humour.

Debut album Present From Nancy (1970) is structured in suites and later remastered with bonus singles; the band signed with Polydor after the debut. Spiral Starcase (1974) is a later work often described as darker and influenced by The Mothers of Invention; the group reunited in 2000.
