Their fame skyrocketed after their electric performance at the fair, wowing the crowd with their wild rock & roll and showmanship hardly seen in Europe (considering it was a good few years before the emergence of The Rolling Stones, The Who and Jimi Hendrix). They quickly changed their name to The Tielman Brothers and started playing at various venues, including an appearance at the Brussels World Fair in 1958. Andy, Reggy, Loulou, and Ponthon Tielman, along with their parents emigrated from Surabaya to Breda in 1957 and the four brothers were quick to continue the band they have previously established in Indonesia, The Four T’s. However it was argued that Indo-rock only really took off when The Tielman Brothersentered the scene. The Real Room Rockers, The Hot Jumpers, Oety & His Real Rockers and Electric Johnny & The Skyrockets were the first Indo-rock bands to appear from these cities.
In the mid-to-late 1950s, the youth, influenced by the new sound of American R&B/rock & roll, picked up guitars and formed bands. Many emigrated and settled in The Hague (still evident by the abundance of Indonesian food available in the city), Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Groningen. They of course brought with them their tropical flare and love of the guitar, introduced by the Portuguese in the 1600s. The period during the war as well as the years following it resulted in a huge number of Indonesians (for various reasons, not least due to the new nation’s instability) to flee the country and settle in the Netherlands. While the Netherlands and its allies returned to the archipelago soon after to reclaim their ‘colony’, a four-year war broke out all across the country until the Netherlands finally granted Indonesian independence on December 29th 1949. Indonesia’s relationship with the Netherlands took a drastic nose-dive after Indonesia’s self-proclaimed independence on August 17 1945(the Netherlands’ presence in Indonesia briefly ended after Japan’s occupation of Indonesia in 1942). Tielman Brothers Golden Years is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.The Hot Jumpers, one of the protagonists of Indo-Rock All the singles from their heydays are featured on this 2LP set. Their amazing live performances didn't go unnoticed in the rest of Europe, and soon they were touring Germany, Belgium and many other countries. Both their virtuosity and showmanship made them a highly demanded live band, and soon they released their first single “Rock Little Baby Of Mine”.
Their sister Jane Tielman would sometimes join them as well. The band featured brothers Reggy, Pnthon, Andu and Loulou Tielman. Originally from former Dutch colony Indonesia, where they were able to hear the first rock & roll artists on American radio, they moved to The Netherlands in the late 1950's and brought the music with them. The Tielman Brothers are the founders of the Dutch rock & roll scene.
