O Dolores!!

We were in Gent, and so was ex-Cranberry Dolores O'Riordan. She/the band did a gig in the Handelsbeurs (or Ha').
It was a very nice evening. She played some songs from her new album "Are you listening?", but also lots of older stuff, much to the joy of the Cranberries fans!
In the beginning Dolores seemed nervous, her voice was not loud enough, her solo in Zombie insecure, unprecise (termbling fingers). But she regained herself! I was amazed by a song called "Black Widow". So cool!! It's on her new album, so check it out now (funk soul brotherz)!

Minor point of the venue: annoying personnel, in the crowd, with flashlights, trying to stop people from making pictures, which is obviously impossible. ome near fights, lots of shouting and arguing (!!), which distracted a lot. Think twice before you go to the Handelsbeurs, although the venue is very cool itself...

Appelpop 2007 in Tiel

On the edge of our holidays, we went to Appelpop yesterday - to listen and look at a couple of gigs: Moke (great band!!!), Van Velzen (sounds like Keane, nice), Charlie Dee and After Forever (in Dutch: VET!!!). After Forever has really become a great band, although it's a goth-rock pastiche at the same time. Had a great time nevertheless. Pity we had to leave early (did not have plenty of time as our holidays will commence soon), better luck next year! Hope you like the pics and vids....

Wereld Jazz Dagen in Dordrecht

Last weekend, the "Wereld Jazz Dagen" (World Jazz Days) were organized in Dordrecht. Unfortunately, we did not have a lot of time, but we went to see Yur Honing's Wired Paradise. The guy is an arrogant prick, but the music is great. Check them out if you can, and forget his bla bla bla ...

Next year there will be another issue of this small festival near the Big Church. Keep an eye at it (http://www.wereldjazzdagen.nl/), or check http://www.jazzpodiumdjs.nl/ for other interesting jazzy style stuff.

And here's some moving pictures...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Trentemøller MP3

Fit For Free FFWD Dance Parade in Rotterdam

Last Saturday, the Fit for Free FFWD Dance Parade passed through Rotterdam. 40 trucks, some verry nice, others "just fine"... The theme of this year was "the Catwalk", which was not so obvious. Hope you like the pics...

Great performances of Ferry Corsten and Lucien Foort!

Zomercarnaval in Rotterdam

Saturday, July 28: Zomercarnaval in Rotterdam. About 2000 people celebrated their party in a big parade, 2.6 kilometres long. About 900000 people watched the parade (who did count that?). Again, the weather was fine, as always, which IS a miracle, since it has been raining a lot these days... Let's get loud? They sure did!
