Diesel (band)
Diesel was a Dutch pop/rock group that became one of the few Dutch acts to chart in the U.S. when their song "Sausalito Summernight" entered the U.S. Top 40 in 1981.
==Biography==
Diesel was created in October 1978 by ex-Kayak drummer Pim Koopman. The group, at first no more than a hobby project, initially consisted of Koopman (drums, keyboard and vocals) and Rob Vunderink (guitar/lead vocals, composer and lyricist), Mark Boon (guitar, composer and lyricist), and Frank Papendrecht (bass).〔 (Diesel biographie ), Nationaal Pop Instituut. Accessed on line December 27, 2007.〕 Their first album, ''Watts in a Tank'', was released in the Netherlands in 1980.〔 One of its tracks, "Going Back to China" was released in the Netherlands as a single in 1979 and became a top 40 hit.〔 (Diesel discografie ), Nationaal Pop Instituut. Accessed on line December 27, 2007.〕 Two other singles from this album, "Down In The Silvermine" and "Sausalito Summernight" (also misspelled "''Sausolito'' Summernight"), were released in 1980 and also became charting hits.〔〔(Diesel ), Nederpop Encyclopedia. Accessed on line December 27, 2007.〕 In late 1980, Boon and Papendrecht left to join Meike Touw's Tutti Frutti. They were replaced by bass player Wijnand Ott and guitarist Hugo de Bruin. In mid-1981, Koopman left the band and Kim Weemhoff took the drumseat.
In 1981, ''Watts in a Tank'' was released in the United States.〔(Diesel ), biography, Allmusic. Accessed on line December 27, 2007.〕〔Diesel, ''The International Encyclopedia of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal'', Tony Jasper and Derek Oliver, New York: Facts on File Publications, 1983. ISBN 0-8160-1100-1.〕 The single "Sausalito Summernight" rose to #25 on the U.S. Top 40.〔 It reached #1 in Canada.〔 ''Watts in a Tank'' itself went up to #68 on the ''Billboard'' 200.〔(Diesel ), Muze, February 1, 2007. Accessed on line December 27, 2007.〕 This success prompted the return of Mark Boon and an American tour. At Boon's suggestion, guitarist Bas Krumperman joined the band just before the North American tour, moving the band's sound in a country-rock direction.〔 The band got a distribution deal with Atco Records and recorded another album, ''Unleaded'', in 1982, but it was not a success.〔〔(''Unleaded'' ), credits, Allmusic. Accessed online December 27, 2007.〕 In the next few years the group had many new members, such as Leen Barbier (guitar/vocals), André Versluijs (bass), Jan Loomans (guitar/vocals), and Henk Hager (guitar/vocals), and released several more singles before disbanding in 1985.〔
