Minny Pops is a Dutch, Amsterdam-based new wave/electronic/art punk band, associated with the Ultra post-punk movement in the Netherlands and the Factory Records label in the UK.
Minny Pops, which van Middendorp originally intended to be a project for just three performances, had an initial lineup of van Middendorp, bass guitarist Frans Hagenaars, guitarist Peter Mertens, and two dancers, including van Middendorp's older brother, Rob.

==Links to Peel==
Peel played the group's debut single in the spring of 1979. Impressed by their material, he invited the group to do a session for his show in 1980, which they performed four tunes. After the mid-80's, Peel didn't seem to revisit them when the band initially split up in 1986.
