1 okt 17.50 Gebouw T, Bergen op Zoom.
Tonight we stayed the night in a jewelry shop. I know it sounds weird and it’s not all entirely true. Arjen, who was the promoter for yesterday’s gig in Middelburg, is married to Anke who is a silversmith. Together they have the shop Ippy Edelsmid in central Middelburg. We slept in the storage room of their shop. Cool!

Yesterday we played a living room gig at Loes & Hugo’s place together with Simon Karelis a.k.a Arend-Jan van der Scheer from LPG. I really love the concept of being invited into someone’s home to have a concert. You get better contact with the audience and besides, they probably feel more at ease than in a club. Furthermore, it does our music more justice than the average club sound drenched in far too much sub bas to make sense.

20 degrees outside right now. Yesterday we heard from someone that it was the warmest day in October since 1901. Don’t know if it’s true, but we sure had a marvelous july-like summer’s day at the beach outside Middelburg. Me, Joel and Joel went to buy ourselves a pair of 5 Euro trunks and together with Erik and Jeroen we took the car out to the golden dunes. We spend a couple of hours swimming and throwing Frisbee before we hit the road to Bergen op Zoom for our last gig together with Marike Jager. It was also our last gig with Jeroen as bassplayer.

The gig in Gebouw T went pretty good, we struggled a bit with the sound for bass and drums during soundcheck, which suddenly left us with only 20 minutes of dinner, clothing and "set listing".
Marike Jager did a great performance, but as usual we missed the first half because of that we had to load in our instrument and backline in the trailer. Her latest album was recorded using a lot of analog equipment and an echo chamber which I absolutely love. I’m not going to get into anymore of the geek stuff here, but the album sounds great!
