i guess lee can, i've seen him doing it!

ha!

Proof or it didn't happen.

just wait for jef.

@pokkeherrie:
my source hasn't been able to figure out the schedule. but... he says only 2 band are playing, which would mean that Chaton is probably joining the ex. in other words: it will be over before 0:00.

so make sure you get there and dance away on 'Theme from Konono'.

Cool, thanks for checking.

It struck me that they only played songs from their latest album at ATP, except for the encore, which were both "covers", Theme From Konono and that Hungarian folk song that Katrin sings (from Scrabbling at the Lock if I remember correctly?)
Anyway, no songs that GW Sok wrote the lyrics to. I wonder if that was a conscious decision.

they did play state of shock in EKKO, Utrecht and the Brass Unbound Tour, before the album came out, but after that only new stuff.

also, when they played with Mekuria, arnold sang sok's lyrics.


the band is brilliant at the moment.

thanks

did you go?

Yes, it was really great. I think it was exactly the same set as ATP, but I liked last night better.

Zea opened and I still don't like his music, but as a singer in The Ex he somehow doesn't bother me. Plus I do like the three-guitars/no-bass line-up they have now; keeps things interesting.

They're in great form alright, although personally I still prefer their 90's-early 00's lineups.

did chaton perform?

how many people were there?

yes, first zea, then chaton, then the ex.

maybe 100-150 people or so, not that many.

Thank you so much for taping and sharing!

Glad you all had fun. Your positive comments about the gig make me think it will be a pleasant experience to listen to rappard's recording, and i'm very much looking forward to it.

Ceremony tonight starts at 6 pm and should last 1-1.5 hours total. Who's going? Meet up in front of the Oude Luxor?

I'm going. duh.

Pokkeherrie, do you still need the ticket I picked up for you?

Didn't know you were getting one for me. You're not mixing me up with someone else by any chance?

I already got one.

I'm working on my video this weekend. Hope to have it up by next week.

i'll see you there! my train arrives at 17:40 at the station.

might sneak out immediately after lee finishes. need to be in LV at seven.

Still need your ticket? Have 4. ;-)

met Lee after the show and had him sign my Simon Werner poster. Looks really great on my wall. :-)
