Should probably update these blogs more often, now i hafta think back too far for my mind to keep track, hehe... aging..?.. let's see what i can pull out...
Opening for Epica was great, big crowd, mostly Epica-fans of course, but a good response for us too... pics on our website and on studiomystica.nl (thanx again, Natasja).. Beach Battle was a bit of a disappointment, but that's the way the cookie sometimes crumbles... The accoustic performance on Rosa FM went well, was a real learning experience to work on changing the songs around to fit the "accoustic bill"... too bad the recordings of it got messed up...
We also got some radio exposure on the local station of Stein... Mosterdpop was dedicated to us for a full hour with an interview and our own songs and personal favorites getting aired... Traffic kinda spoiled it for Job and me, cuz we got caught in a loooong cue, so we were late... but the other guys did pretty good without us as you can hear on our site... if you are Dutch that is, hehe...
On what was probably the hottest day of Summer (and not just cuz of my poika being there, hihi) we played at the All American Day in Weert and damn was it killer up there on stage.. phew... but we managed to pull it off, turned quite a few heads, and got great respones there as well..
Limburg seems to have opened its doors to us, cuz a few weeks later we were back, at Koppelpop, nice event on the town square of Susteren... we were there pretty early for a Sunday, to see Stonepit, fronted by our friend and Barefoot & Naked producer Hanf, cool band!... our gig was later in the evening, so I was a little bit tired after such a long day hanging out and allthough the gig went fine, for me it wasn't one of my best performances...
But a week later we had, what i consider to be, one of our best gigs up till now... our own two hour show, at the Muziekcafé in Helmond... what a thrill..!!!.. everybody was there, old and new friends/fans, who helped make this a night to remember... we, as a band, were really feeling it and each of us gave it their all... and once again our sound engineer Marco, who has become our 6th bandmember, kicked ass and gave us a great sound... thanx, man..!!.. and a big thank u to Patrick for making us feel welcome...
Now we're focussing on getting recordings done, to put a promo together of some of our new songs... starting this Sunday, when we're part of a sound enginering/live recording course that Marco put together at the Dynamo and plans are to get studio recordings done haflway October as well...
I promise to keep you posted on all of this... for real..!..
kiipis...
