The Bintangs<\/strong> from Beverwijk were originally named Rocket Dynes<\/strong> and Black Phantoms<\/strong>. They didn’t only become known for their rough, smoky Hoogoven-born sound, but also for their great number of line-up changes. In the 60’s, especially in the province of Noord-Holland, they had a firm following, which, in the cities of Beverwijk and Haarlem, manifested itself in posters plastered on many walls and even a gigantic gas tank with their name painted on it. Once at the Kennemer Theater, which was the place for open-air appearances at the time, the whole floor was crushed and demolished into pieces by the over-enthusiastic fans. Despite this, the Bintangs<\/strong> (Malay for “stars”) remained one of the most underrated groups in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
