Holland getting Heavier
 20 September 2011: An article in Hitkrant "Holland Getting Heavier" features FWODHM (First Wave of Dutch Heavy Metal) acts Picture, Frankenstein, Hollander, J.J.R.OXX, Bodine and... Park Lane!! Who even remembers these acts? Did you know the OXX Band sill exists? They look like an early pagan metal-version of Heidevolk. And what's so interesting about Park Lane? You know it: Jay van Feggelen sung with them for a while! The article still needs translation! Any volunteers?
More MK-I gig dates
Concert Ticket Martin scanned for you19 September 2011: Martin Stassen has been greatly helpful in adding dates to the Mk-I gigology. (THANK YOU, MARTIN!) We're up to 35 live dates in 1981 already! Go fetch some memories by browsing the updated list and see if you can spot a gig that you visited way back when! Reminiscence becomes us old school rockers! It's got to do with age (and a lot of headbanging)! Did you recognize a gig in the list? Scream about it in the Forum (register)!

19 September 2011: New pages added! Three pages were published to improve navigation on this site and to add features that no other fan site does--until proven otherwise!
1. An index of articles that were published about Bodine. The list is chronological and probably incomplete. Many thanks to Shockpower, MaxPower, Mar Thin and MCN for additions to this section!
2. An overview of expenses related to this website. For those of you wondering what the PayPal icon in the left lower corner of these pages is for: here's the full deal. Inspired by practices of charity foundations, RegularRocker becomes transparent about what it it took (thus far) to create this site.
3. A list of fan sites about bands that existed in Bodine's heydays. There are a lot of fans who created sites for bands that emerged in the 1980's. RegularRocker cannot ignore that passion! An overview was started here. It's work in progress. Suggestions are welcome! The obscurer, the better!
  3 September 2011: Another two articles announcing a concert of Bodine are revealed! This is the 1. May 1981 concert in Utopia, Elsloo. Thanks for this entry to MaxPower! It becomes obvious, from the announcements, that Bodine usually played two sets, with a break in between. This was a habit that was sutained throughout the stage career of the band, although probably only in the case they were headliners and not on festivals. RegularRocker has never been on a concert that was split in two by a break. It makes one wonder what impression that would have made. Did the play music during the break? Did all the fans raid the bar to get extra drinks? Would you prefer to be in a concert of two sets or do you prefer the approach used nowadays? Discuss it in the Forum!
