Biography
There are 2 groups with the name Supersister: a Dutch progressive rock band and a British girl group.
1> A 3 piece girl group from the UK who had hits in 1999 and 2000 such as ‘Coffee’ and ‘Summer Gonna Come Again’ (since covered by the band Nylon).
2> Supersister was a band from The Hague (the Netherlands), playing progressive rock ranging from jazz to pop. The most predominant band members were Robert Jan Stips (keyboards, vocals), Sacha van Geest (flute), Marco Vrolijk (drums) and Ron van Eck (bass).
The band started as Sweet OK Sister in 1968 as a school band with singer and songwriter Rob Douw, who soon thereafter left. The remaining members continued as a more serious musical quartet under the name Supersister. Their style was progressive rock (in Canterbury Scene style) in which Stip’s keyboard play played a dominant role.
Their debut was in 1970 with the album “Present from Nancy”, and they hit the charts with numbers like “She was naked”, “A girl named you”, and “Radio”. After three albums (Present from Nancy - 1970, To the highest bidder - 1971, and Pudding en gisteren - 1972) van Geest and Vrolijk quit. The remaining crew, together with new members Charly Mariano (wind instruments) and Herman van Boeyen (drums) release the album “Iskander”, which is an even more jazz-rock oriented concept album based upon the life of Alexander the Great in 1973. In 1974 Stips and van Geest release a final album “Spiral Staircase” as “Sweet Okay Supersister”. This album marks the end of the band.
