Gilgamesj

Gilgamesj was a Heavy Metal band from Leerdam, Netherlands, which was formed in 1975. They never really got really famous, although they certainly had potential, mainly because they didn't care about money or fame. Eventually, however, they had to get noticed by a recordlabel, and they did by a label called Rave On Records, where they released "Take One" in 1984, the only release which consisted purely of Gilgamesj songs. Bandmembers: Stanly Sanders Hans Laponder Frank van Stijn Jan Vos Gerrie den Hartog
