Mekanik Kommando

Mekanik Kommando was a New Wave band from Nijmegen, The Netherlands. It was founded in 1980 by 2 members of Zelek, born on the waves of the early 80s 'Ultra Movement' in Holland. After their 3rd album which was released by EMI they started their own record label: Rosebud Records. Mekanik Kommando record no less than six albums and some film scores. The band also performs hundreds of shows. Over the years Mekanik Kommando adapts a more spheric, organic and psychedelic style. Most of the electric instruments are replaced by acoustic instruments. In 1988 the band split up due to musical differences. Some of the members started Güler and later on Ulanbator. The others (Peter & Simon van Vliet) went on as The Use Of Ashes.
