Amsterdam, Netherlands

There are several artists named The Outsiders:

(1) Starting out in 1960 as an unknown neighbourhood band from the east of Amsterdam, NL, they became one of the biggest success stories in Dutch Rock, and made some of the most lastingly great records. They never recorded anyone else’s material, with singer Wally Tax writing the lyrics and guitarist Ron Splinter the music for nearly all the 12 45s and 3 LPs they made. Other band members included Appie Rammers on bass, Leendert Busch on drums, Ronald Splinter on guitar and Tom Krabbendam also on guitar.

(2) A US band from Ohio. They started in 1959 as Tom King And The Starfires. After the arrival of the Beatles they changed their sound and changed their name to The Outsiders. Signing to Capitol at the beginning of 1966 their first single PlayTime Won’t Let Me was a Number 5 pop hit. They scored 3 more Top Thirty hits that year. Singer Sonny Geraci was later in the band Climax.

(3) The Outsiders were an English punk band from Wimbledon led by Adrian Borland(vocals/guitar). They released two albums (Calling on youth 1977, Close UP 1978) before Michael Dudley (drums) and Graham Green joined the band, replacing the original bass player, Bob Lawrence and thus became The Sound.

(4) The Outsiders were an icelandic punk rock band, in icelandic Utangarðsmenn, founded by Bubbi Morthens in the early 80’s. They led the new wave movement in Iceland and consisted of guitarists Michael D. Pollock (Mickey Dean) and Daniel Pollock (Dirty Dan), drummer Magnús Stefánsson (mad Dog Magoo), and bassist Rúnar Erlingsson (Rooney the Ripper)
