René and His Alligators Guitar Boogie June 1962
René & The Alligators was a rock 'n' roll guitar band from The Hague that was founded at the end of 1959 by guitarist and singer René Noelijk.
Initially, Nolijk tried to build a career as a singer, but his talents as a guitarist soon became apparent. The Alligators released sixteen instrumental rock singles in the period 1960-1964. This band had a clear Indian background, partly due to the establishment of an Indian Art Circle in the café-restaurant Den Hout in The Hague because of the repatriation from Indonesia. Their best-known singles are Guitar Boogie and In the Mood from 1962. They were an example for the later Hague beat groups , the generation that often had guitar lessons with René Nolijk.
In 1978 Nolijk made a comeback with his wife Renée (Anja Exterkate).
