Machiavel (band)

Early years (1974–1987) Machiavel were founded in 1974 by Roland De Greef (bass) and Marc Ysaÿe (drums and vocals), named after Niccolò Machiavelli. At the time, they were playing in a group called Moby Dick with Jack Roskam (guitar) and Albert Letecheur (keyboard). They released their first eponymous album in 1976. ==Band members==
