Sandy Coast was a beat/rock/pop band from Voorburg, The Netherlands, fronted by Hans Vermeulen. They were active between 1961 and 1974. There was a succesful reunion in 1980-1981 and a less succesful one in 1988.
Hans Vermeulen formed The Sandy Coast Skiffle Group in Voorburg in 1961, aged 14. With the name abbreviated to Sandy Coast the group got a recording contract with Negram in 1965. Their début single, 1965's 'Subject Of My Thoughts', failed to chart but is now regarded as an early 'Nederbeat' gem.
