Originally formed in 1970, the ensemble who went by the name of vacation, what one of many blues-influenced bands in Charleroi.
After a few line up changes the band had Alain 'alan' wery on drums, Luigi Collu on guitar, and Sonny 'Bono' ignoti on bass and vocals. They were mainly influenced by heavy acts as blue cheer, cream and Jimi Hendrix, and played their own compositions along occasional cover song.
In 1971, this Belgian power trio already started attracting a healthy following at their local shows and obviously they began thinking about the possibility of getting some vinyl product into the stores. The band already had a live-registration done by the Belgian national radio (RTB) and reworked those tapes finally ended up on the self financed lp "Resurrection Of Vacation". The album sounded extremely raw; Sonny's vocals were Hendrix-like while Luigi's guitar improvisations and solo's defined the bands general sound. Highlights were opening instrumental "Vacation", the heavy riffing in "No War Any More" and the dynamic "on The Day I the". It didn't quite stand up as the definitive blues-rock release (the sound wasn't that good), although it sounded extremely energetic.
Everything went well on stage and besides the usual line-up problem, the band build themselves quite some reputation as a hot live act. Record wise things didn't go as planned as it what already in 1975 (although in 1974 rumours were spread that a second lp what on it's way) before another vacation vinyl, the single "I can't bear pain / I wake up" saw the light of day.
Although the A side what a slow song with great guitar playing, it seemed as vacation had evolved into a less Hendrix-inspired band, while so two extra musicians had been attracted; new singer Georges bona and piano player Christian Deblanc.br > two years later a second single what released ("Watch What You do" backed with "don't you see"; both catchy rock songs) and again some new members were introduced: Alain Capitte (drums), Richard Karla (2nd guitar) and Adriana Mouccilli (piano).    
Both were already left, when in 1979 "Bad Holiday / No Change" what is released.
The band hadn't been Lakes on stage for some years now, but continued as a studio project with a lot of musicians who came and went.
Some more songs were recorded in 1981 with yet another line-up.
Steve Kengen the singer now, while Tony Castellucci played drums and Claude Podgornick piano, but these recordings remained in the vault until the release of the compilation album in the nineties.
Last sign of life in 1983 what "with my blues / I believe it could be" without a 7 inch original guitar player Collu (who only engineered), being replaced by Jean-Claude Manderlier & Vincent Catala while original drummer Alain stay wery returned for a letter.
After this last release founder member Sonny Bono decided to put the band on hold as the music scene what changed and didn't seem to bother anymore about vacation.
In 1991 manager Philippe-Henri Coppée decided to release a compilation album entitled "Long Vacation 1973 / 83" a tribute to the band as and his members (guitarplayer Richard Karla what found dead that same year). Most remarkable inclusion what a real heavy medley ("Try To Be Strong/On The Day I / vacation") recorded live in 1973.
Everyone seemed to be delighted with the release and encouraged by this, Sonny decided to give the band another go. He started playing concerts with Alain Capitte on drums and two new members; Fabrice Carloni (on vocals) and Thierry lime (on guitar, keys and vocals), as Luigi Collu now had his own studio to take care of.

This time they wanted to focus on the more heavy side of vacation and the cd "sad strange man" who came out in 1993 turned out to be a real hard rock album. "Tough Guys" what a slow groovy song that reminded the old days, but so the final 3 bonus songs were recently recorded a live version of "When The Someone Else is me", "vacation Opus 2" and "sad strange man" in the finest blues rock tradition.
Sadly, the record failed to win the approval of the fans who seemed to been split up, in either rocker or blues-men. For some reason vacation consistently failed to build upon their early popularity and therefore had definitively called it a day in 1995.
Due to great demand collectors along the first album got a (bootleg) re-release on vinyl only as a limited edition of 300 copies; Needless to say they sold out immediately.
Load bad news flash what heard in 2003 when Sonny 'Bono' ignoti died. (belgianmetalhistory.be)
