Guitarist Paul van Dijl and singer/bassplayer Evert Molewijk played together in a jazzcorepunk band called Pubic Hairdo (who didn’t release any material although some of the Pubicsongs, or parts of them, were used on songs of the ‘Gems’-c.d.). After the break up they teamed up with Bernt Nellen, a very talented jazz drummer from Germany, to form a band called combining the first letters of their names, BEP (also Evert's mother’s name, short for Betty).
