Background edit

The band was founded in 1995 by guitarist Peter van Elderen. He was joined by drummer Bart Nederhand and bass player Bob Muileboom in making their first self-titled album. After this album, Muileboom was replaced by Bart Geevers, who would stay to be a permanent member. The trio was known for their honest, no-nonsense rock n' roll songs and had a good reputation when it comes to live shows. They were often joined by guest singer and stage clown 'Dikke Dennis' (Fat Dennis). Peter Pan Speedrock grew to be an established name in the Dutch rock n' roll scene.[1] On 26 November 2016, after 20 years of band history, they ended their career with a farewell concert at the concert venue Effenaar in Eindhoven, with a sold out show. On 14 September 14 2021, the band announced their return to the stage.[2]
