Punk band from Rotterdam (from 1977 to 1980). The band had simple
rythmic tracks as basis for society critical / political lyrics. Members
Johannes van der Weert (vocals), Maarten van Gent (guitar, vocals),
Frank (bass), Allie van Altena (guitar, vocals) and Willem ter Weele
(drums). Also Kees Isings played some time on bass, before Frank. RONDOS
were a part of the red rock collective of four bands: RONDOS, RODE WIG,
SOVIETS and TANDSTICKORSHOCKS. They do gigs together and share their
equipment and the place where they practice. They had their own label "King Kong Records", their fanzine "Raket'Zine" and released various material
aslike the professional comic "Red Rat". RODE WIG and SOVJETS never released
material. Most members of this red rock collective lived in the same
building at 2e Ijzerstraat Rotterdam. Named Huize Schoonderloo a.k.a. de
Bunker (as that this was a former bomb shelter) The building was 'lent'
instead of squated and converted to a practice and printing space. On
their last single "Which Side Will You Be On?" they declare they quit.
"the rondos quit. this is our last record. we brought the rondos to a
conclusion, because in our opinion we became too succesful. and being
succesful means accepted. besides; a great part of the hardcore punk movement is
developing in a direction which is not ours; violence, alcohol, nihilism, chaoism and commerce / business. But the struggle continues! we keep
fighting with other means. Rondos / Just Seeds 2017".
