THE CLANS
During the pop yeh yeh era, we had witnessed some peculiar phenomena, where one singer could be accompanied by many different bands (for instance, A. Ramlie and M. Osman), or one particular band accompanying so many singers (like The Rythmn Boys for example), and so on. However, there was also a band that changed its line-up many times, thus portraying different styles of musical performance in of its recording work, which could only be differentiated by those with discerning ears. Not only that, the bands’ involvement in the entertainment circuit was also short-lived. One of such bands is The Clans.
The different members’ line-up of The Clans between 1966 and 1967.
Led by singer M. Osman, the members of The Clans include:
1. Lead guitarists: Dine Hani Zain followed by S. Marwan followed by Dino followed by A. Hashim
2. Rhythm guitarist: Brian Ariff followed by Rahim Mawi followed by Noor Hassan followed by M. Arfino
3. Bass guitarists: A. Jamil followed by A. Anis
4. Keyboardist: M. Azman
5. Drummers: Zul Rahman a.k.a. Houmer Boy followed by Md. Omar
Despite the band’s brief period of performance, i.e., between 1966 and 1967, it accompanied quite a handful of popular pop yeh yeh singers, including:
