a serious case of long time no see: thursday FAKE O's first time mainstage VERA!
they open for a lame hipster band and since I don't want my views on the blog
above the average of 5 a day I won't mention those great talents.
be sure to check out this youtube channel for more exciting vids...

starts early enough 20:00!!

crazy! a new favourite ban d!!

thanks .

sunday a party to honor Willem Kolvoort and his new book of art put to music..
the man is a genius and for the last few decades always found a spot on my wall..
festivities start round 1700..

for sure this saturday WAX WITCHES at Vera Downstage....
cause I have to see the band that went from being most brilliant with their
Celebrity Beatings record to very mediocre with their newest Center Of Your Universe..

all is forgiven if they manage to work this song onto the set..

anyone got an idea how to go about seeing the Fake O's/ Black Cult show in Venlo?
got wheels, no bed and Venlo feels like the city I'm least wanting to visit..ever..

Later on round 2000 we head out to de Zolder for WOLFTONE!
so we begin with psychedelic crap and end with stoner rock..

a busy and festive week here in Groningen! tomorrow we start with the BLACK CULT
