Live Review: The Office (as support act for Jett Rebel), Nieuwendijk, March 1st 2014

 I don't often write about new, promising bands anymore, but I really felt like I had to share this one. Yesterday night I went out to see The Office, an Utrecht-based britpop/indierock band, play at Xinix Nieuwendijk. Although they were Jett Rebel's (one of the latest 3FM pop sensations, you should check them out, they're really rad, especially...

Going to Rock Werchter on July 4th!

That means... Live reviews! I'll probably go to Best Kept Secret again as well, but I'll first have to see whether there will be other top-notch acts besides Franz Ferdinand, Babyshambles, Pixies, Wytches, and more. But, going to Werchter on Friday means I'm going to see the Arctics again! I really cannot wait. Other acts to perform that...

Album Review: AM by the Arctic Monkeys

At last!  I bought the album exactly on September 6th, planning to write a review on that very evening, but I had such a lot of stuff to do, and I completely forgot about it..! But now, it's finally time to tell you something more about the greatest album and band of 2013, in my opinion! I had seen...

Live review: Appelpop, Tiel, 14 September 2013

A few weeks ago I went to Appelpop to see Balthazar, Kensington and Soul Sister Dance Revolution. Unfortunately, I had to leave early that night, so I couldn't see Madness' performance. Appelpop is a free festival which mainly hosts Dutch and Belgian artists, but they're trying to get more international acts to perform on the festival. I went...

New Psychedelia/Prog/Shoegaze/Garage?

Yes, we rediscovered it; that good old 60's/ 70's music! So why not post a few of the best new psychedelia/prog/shoegaze/garage songs? Mind Mischief - Tame Impala (not that new, but still one of my favourite songs. Great riff) Temples - Colours To Life (I've already posted some of their stuff, but they keep amazing me! (seen live at...

Album Review: Weight Of Your Love by The Editors

"The Weight". That's what the dark and heavy first track of the new Editors album is called like. The Editors? That has been a long time since we last heard of them! But why haven't we heard anything from those British indie rockers for such a long time? Their last album, "In the Light and On this Evening",...

Half Moon Run; Finally Discovered By Music Magazines

It's been a while since I last wrote something about Half Moon Run, one of Mumford and Sons' support acts. I saw them live in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, and was blown away by the new Canadian band. They have a very original sound, and are, fi-nal-ly discovered by the music magazines! I was quite surprised when I...

Album Review: Long Way Down by Tom Odell

Yes, there he is, the next piano man: Tom Odell, posing in one of the beautiful streets of London, proudly captured on the cover of his debut album. But should he be so proud of his achievements? Or could he better run that long way down for the disappointed critics? When I bought the CD, I had already listened to...

Currently Listening To...

Fifteen Floors by Balthazar (I saw them live; they're really good!) Britpop a la 2013; Taking Over by Miles Kane Do I Wanna Know by the Arctic Monkeys (my favourite song by the Arctics,  a great live success; an instant festival hit, if you ask me) ...

New Computer Drawings!

Hey guys! Because of the holidays, I decided to make a few drawings again! This time I have drawn my greatest idols; Jimmy Page and Brian May. Jimmy Page Brian May ...

Best Kept Secret 2013: Photographs

And now it's time for some of my photographs! Unfortunately, the photos I took during the Arctic Monkeys' performance are too blurry, so you actually can't see a thing on them... But I do have some other ones right here:  Palma Violets dancing around in front of the stage Jacco Gardner on stage THREE Palma Violets dancing around with...

Best Kept Secret Festival: Day 3

Sigur Ros' thrilling performance on stage ONE And here's the review of the last day of Best Kept Secret Festival! I decided to go to the festival around 2 P.M., because I really wanted to see Temples and Everything Everything perform, but unfortunately, we weren't allowed to enter without an adult this time, and we had to go...

Best Kept Secret Festival: Day 2

Mozes and the Firstborn performing on stage TWO Although the weather isn't that great now in the Netherlands (it's been raining since yesterday evening...), the second day of BKS has been a great success for me. But we did have some problems getting onto the festival terrain, because we didn't have an adult with us... So we had...
