Tjens Couter

After a first attempt with his band Freckleface in 1972, Arno Hintjens and [a260158] started Tjens Couter (made up out both of their names). They released their first single 1136518 in 1975. In 1977 bassplayer [a402599] and drummer Rudy Cloet joined the band and the name was changed to Tjens Couter and the T.C. Band. Tjens Couter deserves an important place in Belgian music because it was the direct predecessor to [a193545]. A few months after the official name change Paul Decoutere left the band. He continued to make music. He was a part of Partisan (with Ferre Baelen) and went solo years later.
