Initially formed as "Pleasant Time Trio" to the occasion of raising the curtain for a performance of jazz artist "George Adams And The Don Pullen Quartet".
"K.I.E.M." is an abbreviation of "Klank Improvisatie Elektronische Muziek" (Sound Improvisation Electronic Music). Their immediate success led to performances on jazz, rock and experimental stages and festivals (Tegentonen, North Sea Jazz, Pandora's Music Box) and modest dance-hits in the Netherlands.
Most remarkable about Kiem is Cees Meurs' metal drum-kit consisting of oil-drums, garbage bin, anvil, anchor-chains and other remains from the wrecked tow-boat "Corrie". This drum-kit –played like normal drums– accompanied by a squeaking saxophone (Ger Van Voorden), a synthetic keyboard and proclaiming vocals (Huub Kentie) result a sound that might be type-casted as industrial, but also has jazz and experimental charactarisics.
Ger Van Voorden leaves the band in 1986 to play with poet/drummer Jules Deelder. He is replaced by Jos Valster.
Growing into a more popular sound, bigger succes followed in Southern Europe (The Moneyman, 1987).

100 Jaar geleden in Paradiso gezien. Waanzinnig concert was het. Op de plee nog met de saxefonist staan kleppen. Nu. Nu net dus schiet de naam 'KIEM' door mijn kop. En wie zoekt vindt.
Ik word hiuer heel erg blij van.
Is de tijd ook van Nasmak, WAT en de DIV om ETON CROP niet te vergeten. 'WARGASM"
@HansJazz
The sound of Rotterdam!!!! Blijft na al die jaren geweldige muziek. Live loeihard. Diverse keren gezien met Ger op sax.
