Category:Other
There's more!

11-7-2008: Guldenontsporing, Brussels

A very special concert for this regional holiday: Dez Mona, one of our favourite Belgian bands, played a concert with Go_tell (a gospel choir) in the parliament of Brussels. Wow³!
I hope they do something like this again next year!


2-8-2008: Lokerse Feesten

A night of Punk!

- Buzzcocks (UK)
Their music sounds a lot cooler than they look! Ah well, Punks get older too but they still rock ;-)

- The New York Dolls (USA)
Great to finally see this very influential band. Something between Blues/Rock and Punk. The lead singer still looks cool btw ;-)

- Sex Pistols (UK, well originally anyway)
ANARCHY!!!! Punk as a commercial and sell-able product but we don't care ;-)
Very enjoyable!


14-8-2008: Pukkelpop

So much to see, so little time!

We heard some and hardly saw: Amy Macdonald, Soko, The Tings Tings

Nice Enough: Serj Tankian, Ian Brown

Great stuff:
- Little Dragon (check video)
- Circ Isnietsch (a cool theatre-circus act, check site)
- Tricky (So cool! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricky)
- Roisin Murphy (Always great)
- The Killers (So many terrific songs!)

Brilliant:
Editors (Just go and see a concert you'll see what I mean)
Mercury Rev (Finally!)


23-8-2008: Maanrock, Mechelen

The Tellers: a terrific Belgian band. Check http://www.thetellers.be/

Dead Souls: former Joy Division coverband, great songs of their own now!
