Bintangs - Travellin" In The U.S.A (second album)

The Bintangs are a Dutch rhythm and blues band. Founded in 1961 in Beverwijk (Holland) as an indorock band, they soon began playing a rougher, rhythm and blues-inflected style. The band had a four-year hiatus in the 1980s but reunited and are still active. The band has gone through many members (in 1985 they were in their 33rd lineup[2]), with Frank Kraaijeveld (bass and vocals) as a constant element. They scored one hit, in 1970, and though commercial success has eluded them nationally and internationally they remain a popular live act.

 The performances were exciting and Bintangs became a kind of Dutch Rolling Stones - the Mick Jagger-esque voice of Gus Pleines certainly contributed to that.

. Bintangs had many line-ups, with Frank Kraaijeveld as (almost) constant factor. Frank was only missing in the period 1972-1974 when he founded the Kraaijeveld group (later Circus Kraaijeveld) with his brother Arti. Singer Gus Pleines and guitarists Jack van Schie and Jan Wijte, among others, have been part of the band for many years with interruptions.

Q65 - I Got Nightmares

Q65 was a Dutch garage rock and psychedelic group formed in 1965, that is often considered one of the more prominent bands associated with the Nederbeat rock wave that took place in the Netherlands in the 1960s

In early 1965, guitarists Joop Roelofs and Frank Nuyens joined with singer Willem Bieler to start the band. The line-up was completed with the addition of drummer Jay Baar, formerly of Leadbelly's Limited, and bass player Peter Vink.[2] The band was inspired by rhythm and blues traditionals and the songs of Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon, as well as new bands, such as The Kinks, The Animals and The Rolling Stones. They started performing publicly in the Spring of 1965, and later that year, would start using the name, Q65
