The Beat in Holland this weekend!

Posted on January 24, 2012 | No Comments Tweet

Ranking Roger and his boys are coming back to the Netherlands. Of cource we are talking about the famous 2-Tone Ska band The Beat here. The band was in the middle of the first UK Ska wave in the late 70s and early 80s. With their cover of Motown clasic “Tears of a Clown” they break through. Many dance floor classics fallowed. Think of hits like “Mirror in the Bathroom“, “Hands off she’s mine” and “Best Friend“.

This weekend they will play Leiden, Eindhoven and Leeuwarden.

26-01-2012: Leiden (NL) @ LVC
27-01-2012: Eindhoven (NL) @ Dynamo
28-01-2012: Leeuwarden (NL) @ Romein

Eurosonic recapitulated: Maison du Malheur and The Minutes

Posted on January 17, 2012 | No Comments Tweet

Last few days we got our senses back together. Eurosonic 2012 was a nice blast again.

First off, Maison du Malheur converted a truck into a nightclub, parked on the Vismarkt in Groningen and performed no less than 5 sets at Eurosonic for 40 curious visitors each. And they made the truck bounce! Expect shows of them all through the year!

Secondly on Thursday we had The Minutes from Ireland play at the Vindicat. People couldn’t get in, good responses. Their record “Marcata” is now out and is distributed through Konkurrent in Benelux. Expect new shows in Benelux through April.
