First single is the terrific "Bojangle plays tonight" of 1979, which was released as a double sided single with the band Specimen & The Rizikoos (Walter Verdin, Karel Vereertbrugghen, Josse De Pauw et al). After that follow a few other brilliant songs ("Breaking up", "Tonight", "Credo"), a lot of personality clashes within the group, personnel changes, a best-of Album, a split (Rick Tubbax vs. The Taxi's) and the end.

 

Rick Tubbax goes into journalism for a few years and afterwards rejoins the music business, this time as a manager for numerous Belgian Bands (Bart Peeters & The Radios, Hugo Matthysen, Pop in Wonderland, La Fille d'Ernest).

In more recent days, Rick Tubbax turned himself into a producer : he has formed his own television production house (Tubbax TV) which had contracts with the prime Flemish commercial TV-station VTM and produced shows with Bart Peeters & Hugo Matthysen (such a La La Live). In 2000, he said goodbye to this enterprise, and joined Woestijnvis (De Mol - The Mole) where he became the publisher of the weekly magazine Bonanza.

Jan Cordemans, bass-player for the group, later on formed a group called "The Mood", that got itself a good live-reputation but didn't go beyond that.
