The band first formed in 1967 while its members were studying at Manchester University. The three-piece was composed of Peter Hammill (guitar and vocals), Nick Pearne (organ) and Chris Judge Smith (drums and wind instruments). The group was named after a piece of electric equipment designed to produce static electricity, the Van de Graaff generator. The name was suggested by Smith (the misspellings are
accidental). On the basis of a demo, this blues- and jazz-influenced first incarnation were offered a recording contract with Mercury Records.
Van der Graaf Generator, sometimes known by the shorter Van der Graaf, are an English progressive rock band. The band achieved considerable success in Italy during the 1970s. In 2005 they embarked on a reunion, which continues to the present day.
