Richard Ritterbeeks - Bass Guitar

  

Hello, I am Richard, welcome at my personal page here at The Time Machine site. From 1983 until 1992 I played in bands like Disturbtion, Orpheus Syndrome and others. The style of these bands were mainly new wave and punk. In 1992 I joined the band Volumia!, this band became quite succesful in The Netherlands, and we even scored a few hit singles. In 2002 Volumia! disbanded and I started playing in the band The Crox. This band also disbanded in 2004. Currently I am playing the bassguitar for an American female singer called Jessie Galante and ofcourse for Time Machine.
