Lagger Blues Machine

Lagger Blues Machine formed in the late 1969's, the band name which was apparently chosen as a sly nod to the band's appreciation of a good brew before, during and after performances, featured the talents of guitarist Jose Cuisset, brothers Christian Duponcheel and Jean-Luc Duponcheel (keyboards and drums respectively), and bassist Michel Maes. The group apparently managed to attract some media attention on the Belgian club circuit and following a 1970 Brussels concert performance (they opened for Wishbone Ash at a local shopping mall), CBS Records decided to sign them to a contract.
