Bintangs

Barely Appreciated

BINTANGS
 

As I have mentioned many times before, I am a major fan of Dutch rock music from both the 1960’s and 1970’s.  Some of the bands have non-English names, like Ekseption (which is not the Dutch word for “exception” as I had always assumed), Groep 1850 (also known as Group 1850and Bintangs (which means “stars” in Arabic, I’m told) – the latter band being a future UARB (as it turns out, I waited too long; Bintangs have a nice Wikipedia article now) – but most have English names (or just initials) and perform in English also, with some of the biggest being Golden EarringShocking BlueFocusQ65, and the Outsiders
