Obstructie formed in 1981 with Ronny Van der Putte on vocals and guitar, Frank De Cubber on bass, and Kris De Volder on drums. They were a Dutch rock band that put out albums through the 1980s, starting with their self-titled debut in 1982.
Their song 'Alleen In de Kroeg Daar Schijnt de Zon' became something of a pub standard in the Netherlands. Other tracks like 'Blij Dat Je Gaat' and 'De Malle Molen' followed a similar vein of straightforward, upbeat rock with lyrics that felt familiar in that setting.
They kept recording through the decade, with albums like 'Voor Elkaar' in 1984 and 'Publiekstrekkers' in 1986. The band's live shows were known for being loud and rowdy, fitting for the songs they played.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
