HISTORY

JERONIMO was founded in 1969. At this time the band had its first two hits „HE YA“ and „NA NA HEY HEY“. With these chartbreakers, JERONIMO experienced the breakthrough worldwide.

In 1970 JERONIMO presented the album „SPIRIT ORGASZMUS“, which was a very special and unprecedented compilation with „CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL“. The album had an extraordinary artwork making it still a popular collector’s item.

In 1970 JERONIMO and „STEPPENWOLF“ toured successfully through Germany. The same year JERONIMO headlined the legendary „Progressive Pop Festival“ in Cologne with „DEEP PURPLE“, „GOLDEN EARRING“, „T-REX“, „THE KINGS“, „BARCLEY JAMES HARVEST“, „PROCOL HARUM“ and many more.

In 1971, JERONIMO’s biggest stage performance took place in Lausanne, Switzerland for „UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)“, which was broadcasted worldwide on television.

JERONIMO could be seen in numerous European television shows like „HITS A GOGO“, „BEATCLUB“ and „BANANAS“. You can watch these and many more on JERONIMO’s DVD ‚TIMEVISION‘. Available here.

After 30 years and millions of sold records worldwide, JERONIMO is still cult. In 1999/2000, their hits „NA NA HEY HEY“ and “HE YA“ were re-released on numerous hit-compilations. The CD’s „COSMIC BLUES“, „TIME RIDE“ and „BEST OF“ have been available in record stores since 1991.

After numerous trials with „the purple record company“ in Frankfurt, Ringo Funk successfully acquired the rights of all JERONIMO’S songs in 2000.

In 2002 the CD’s have not only been remastered – bonus tracks and previously unreleased material has been added. „JERONIMO“, „COSMIC BLUES“, „TIME RIDE“ and „BEST OF“ are now available in our shop.
