Supersister is a Dutch pop group from The Hague. The original lineup consisted of Robert Jan Stips (keyboards, vocals), Sacha van Geest (flute), Marco Vrolijk (drums) and Ron van Eck (bass guitar). In this formation, the band was active during the first half of the 1970s, performing progressive rock that ranged from jazz‑influenced pieces to more pop‑oriented material. The group re‑emerged in 2019 with a new but changing lineup, and in 2025 released another album featuring entirely new tracks titled Nancy Never Knew. The band originated from the school group The Provocation at the Grotius Lyceum in The Hague. Around 1967, they began performing as Sweet OK Supersister, with Rob Douw acting as the conceptual mind and songwriter, steering the group toward a more psychedelic direction. Douw left the band not long afterward and later worked as a visual artist until his death in February 2022. While Douw had written Dutch‑language songs about whimsical subjects such as blue dwarfs, the group continued as a more serious musical quartet under the shortened name Supersister, focusing mainly on instrumental or English‑language material. Their style developed into adventurous, keyboard‑driven progressive rock with clear ties to the Canterbury scene. Influences from Soft Machine, a band greatly admired by Robert Jan Stips, were particularly evident. Supersister also incorporated occasional humorous, Zappa‑like twists into their music.
