Voicst live (supporting The Posies, 10-11-2005)

Rating:	★★★★★

Sadly not many decent Dutch bands are well-known, not in the Netherlands and definitely not in other countries. The Dutch bands that have succes in other countries are usually quite boring and musically un-interesting (like Kane and Anouk).
Voicst is a decent Dutch band so no-one knows them ;-)

And that's a pity for they are terrific!!! Any-one who likes a nice and funny rock-pop-song will certainly love this band!

I had heard them when I was still living in the Netherlands and had wanted to see them live ever since. So I was extremely happy to find that the support act for the Posies had changed into: VOICST!
There performance was full of energy and very lively (eventhough the stage was quite small) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ofcourse they didn't play that many songs; they were only the support act (and only have one cd ;-p).

After the Posies I decided to buy the Voicst's cd. It was only 15 Euro's WITH a t-shirt anyway. So now I am the proud owner of one of the very few Voicst cd's in Belgium ;-)
More info and the chance to hear some songs: http://www.voicst.com/

Please support them! I'd like to hear some decent Dutch bands here every once in a while too ;-p

Rating:	★★★★★

It does not often happen that a living artist has a retrospective in a big artsmuseum but well, Panamarenko deserved it and got it ;-)
Not only are his works brilliant they also make you happy and inspire you to make art yourself and think differently. Every-one should see a Panamarenko everyday ;-)

This exhibit also includes a nice catalogue so if you buy that you can have your daily dose of Panamarenko easily at home ;-)
The exhibit runs untill january 29th, more info: http://www.fine-arts-museum.be/
With your ticket you can also see the permanent exhibitions which includes many many pieces of fine Belgian and international art from the 15th to the 21st century!!
