again no announcement was made for my attendence at The Pit's birthday party celebrating 28 years of legendary drunken parties!
and this was another one, some bands, some mid party sleeping in the car, the never running out of beer sitting at the bar and one hell of a DJ!!

and ofcourse you forget to announce you are taking a plane to Madrid and saw the best show imaginable, THE GOOCH PALMS delivered!!
here's how it went down in Italy pretty much same as they rocked the Wurlitzer!!

the STACHES this wednesday at de Spieghel in Groningen, finally!!!

one of the best records I heard in a while and so their show is also probably something great! URANIUM CLUB at Vera Downstage

also playing ODD COUPLE!!

this saturday JON & THE VONS and the KRONTJONG DEVILS at de Spieghel Groningen!!

the QUESTION WHY? and ARNO DE CEA & THE CLOCKWORK WIZARDS
at Vera Downstage Groningen this saturday!!!

Deze avond begint met een band wiens voorman zijn eigen Vera file under genre mag of zou moeten hebben. Deze voorman Henri Soulman bekend van voorheen de Keefmen, momenteel carriere aan het maken met zijn achterneef als the Sensational Second Cousins, in een vorig leven ook nog the Miracle Men en vooral bekend van zijn zeer unieke gouden strot. Nu op het gelijkvloerse podium van de benedenbar met een voortvloeisel van de Keefmen met wat andere bandleden dus faam gaat vergaren als the Question Why? Weinig zal er veranderd zijn uitstekende blues geinfecteerde garage punk met het prachtige plattelandsgevoel wat er vanaf druipt, niet gek natuurlijk als je weet dat hun reis naar Vera begint net buiten het centrum van het almachtige Klazienaveen. Van verder komt de volgende band Arno De Cea & the Clockwork Wizards, heb bandnamen makkelijker van mijn tong horen rollen, rechtstreeks vanaf het strand ergens in het westen van Frankrijk. Verwacht geen traditionele surf maar meer een mix van de wat hardere variant noem het punk of noise wat ze er ingooien, het drietal zelf omschrijft het als brutal surf music en daar kan ik weinig tegen inbrengen. Uitstekende bands om met je natte sokken in je afgetrapte sneakers, die je hebt opgelopen van de onvermijdelijke golf van neerslag op weg naar de kelder, naar te kijken op te dansen of nog meer vocht naar binnen te gieten.
