Demon Lover - In tribute to MARISKA VERES (Shocking Blue) Today (2 December 2014) it is 8 years ago that Mariska Veres passed away... Mariska Veres (1 October 1947 – 2 December 2006) was a Dutch singer who was best known as the lead singer of the rock group Shocking Blue. Her appearance was striking, featuring kohl cosmetic-lined eyes, high cheekbones, and long jet black hair. Shocking Blue split up on 1 June 1974; Veres continued in a solo career until the band was reunited in 1984. This comeback turned out to be successful, but one of the other original members, Robbie van Leeuwen, stepped back from the group, partly because he had moved to Luxembourg but also because of the success of Bananaramas cover of Venus. Mariska Veres died of cancer on 2 December 2006, aged 59. Reminiscing to the Belgian magazine Flair, she remarked about her early fame, I was just a painted doll (back in those days), nobody could ever reach me. Nowadays, I am more open to people. https://soundcloud/thecambodianspaceproject/demon-lover-the-cambodian-space-project
