Kayak is a Dutch progressive rock band founded in 1972 by Ton Scherpenzeel and Pim Koopman. In 1973, their debut album "See See The Sun" was released, including 3 hit singles. Against their own will, they were immediately declared "Holland's new supergroup" in the press. Their main popularity was in the Netherlands, with their top hit (Ruthless Queen) reaching #6 on the Dutch charts. They disbanded in 1982 after releasing nine albums.
However, in 1999 the band was asked to perform on the TV show De Vrienden van Amstel Live. After this performance, they decided to reform and have released four studio albums and two live albums since.
A new Kayak album, "Coming Up For Air", is scheduled for late 2007. Kayak will also tour after the release to celebrate their 35th anniversary.
Co-founder Ton Scherpenzeel is the only member that plays on every Kayak album. Apart from keyboards, he also plays accordion, occasional bass guitar (for instance on the entire "Nostradamus" album) and double bass...
