But this year it happened. As I heard the album "Awesomer" of "Blood on the Wall" for the first time I loved it so much I had to hear it again. And again. And another time...
Sadly after a while the album wasn't online anymore (it was on the vpro 3voor12 site) so I was almost going into withdrawal symptoms when my love asked me if they had a site (we were wondering where they were from and I wasn't totally sure it was New York). So I found their site. And their tour agenda...
And lo and behold! They were coming to Brussels! Soon! And the tickets were cheap! And it was on a friday! In the Ancienne Belgique (which is easy to reach by train and the concerts start earlier so you can catch the last trains)!
What a happy day indeed!
So tickets were bought and yesterday we went to magical Brussels.
The concert was in the Ab-club which is a very small pub-like room up a large stair with a small podium. The support act was already playing when we got there (we were hiding from the rain in the Oreilly's Irish pub on the other site of the road which was very nice too). They were quite ok.
After a little break and a trip to the loo for me "Blood on the Wall" started their gig. And it was perfect!
This band sounds exactly like I want it to sound. Noise, melody, husky female voice, screaming guy, throbbing beat, Rock&Roll!!!
All sounds and melodies and noise are perfectly placed. They are the best of Sonic Youth, Pixies and many others like those. And they sound great live! And they are clearly having fun as well.
Not many people have seen this performance but I'm sure they were all very impressed by it.
And afterwards the singer/guitar-player jumped of the stage all sweaty and excited to sell us their record. Don't you just love that? And to make sure I won't get withdrawal symptoms ever again I bought one ;-)
