Black Sheep

Black Sheep was a Brunanter rock band, formed in 1986 and dissolved in 1990. While only around for four years, the group became the prime exponent of heavy rock in Brunant, and would inspire many subsequent groups.

History
Black Sheep was founded by Torqy Donaldson and Hayk Demeryan, later joined by Peter Shams (bass guitar), Geert Hopp (electric guitar) and Klaas-Erik Poont (drums). Donaldson was previously with progressive rock group The Daydreamers, Demeryan played with a small group in Koningstad and Shams was the bassist for early 1960s group The Wild Ones.

The group's debut album, Black Sheep, was released in October 1986.

Recent years
Black Sheep fans had pressed for a reunion since the early 1990s, with Shams and Demeryan willing to collaborate in 1997, but the other members being busy with other projects. Donaldson and Demeryan began planning a possible reunion in 2009, eventually agreeing to give a concert with all the members apart from Shams. Such was the response to their Koningstad concert in May 2012 that Shams agreed to join the others for a subsequent concert in January 2013.

In July 2014 the five began messing around in a studio and recorded some new material. The musicians' other concerns saw them split apart. Their new material, along with favourite hits and unreleased music is being compiled for a new album, The 30 Year Sessions, but no further concerts have been planned.
