Diesel's Sausalito Summernight was a radio hit in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, peaking at #25 in the Billboard Hot 100 and at #1 in Canada. Thirty five years after its release, this classic road song is still getting regular airplay on American, Canadian, German and Dutch radio stations and has resided in the Dutch Top 2000 of All Times for many years.
Rekindled interest from several countries has prompted founding members Rob Vunderink and Mark Boon to join forces and fire up the old diesel engine. This means that the two original lead singers/guitarists/composers responsible for Sausalito Summernight and two-thirds of the songs on Diesel's debut album "Watts in the Tank", are once again on board. For a solid stage performance, also soundwise, Rob and Mark have called upon three seasoned rockers. The Diesel lineup comprises of Mark Boon (guitar & vocals), Dave Bordeaux (bass & vocals), René Meister (keyboards & vocals), Ron van Elswijk (drums) and Rob Vunderink (guitar & vocals). Dave Bordeaux is a former member of (the verwijderen) The Hague based rock band Billy the Kid, René Meister played in Het Goede Doel and wrote the #1 hit single Zelfs je naam is mooi. Ron van Elswijk is a relentless powerhouse whose talent will no longer go unnoticed. The band is ready for the road. A new album is in the process.
