:: 05 febr '05 Nighttown Rotterdam::
 

This was an event well publicised in magazines and with posters and flyers, but for some reason, not too many people showed up. I think there were around 20 people there. People might also have been thrown off by the changed times we were playing. A couple of months ago, it was 13.00, then it was, 19.00, then 17.30. The people from Bose were there so we spent some time setting up the Cylindrical System properly, with miking the amps etc. It worked out better then before because now we actually had the space to put the speakersystem behind us. Sometimes the venues we play are so small that it's hard to place the Bose in the proper place.

Thank you Martijn for taking the pictures for us. We played a one-hour set with our faves: Free, Good Food, Imagine, Prescription Strenght, Enigma, Lined Out and more. The band after us used our amps and drumset so we had to stay there for a bit longer. Enjoyed seeing the Peter Tiehuis band! It got late after all.

On the way back in the car Lale started speaking with this strange demonic girl voice, puking green stuff, swearing, and turning his head 360 degrees saying he wanted to go back to Blijburg. If I refused he and Satan would make sure I had to play The Duke for the rest of my life 8 times a week (that's every evening and sunday afternoon) What a nightmare! No choice but to go back to our Blijburg friends.We drove there and we get drinks for free there now, so they must love us too.

We're on our way to Groningen, the last gig of this tour. This will be filmed by some people. We'll be doing our best to make it a great gig, see you there!

Lale speaks out:
As you all can see I turned into a demon towards the end of the set, not unusual for jazz musicians who play with horns (sorry, I just had to!!) Nighttown was a cool place and it was well organized with a lot of professionals helping us out with the new sound system and everything. Thanks guys! Unfortunately there weren't that many people there. I would like to thank the guys who came up to me afterwards and asked me about the music and who wanted to buy my solo albums, sorry that I didn't bring any CD's this time. Thanks for your interest and love for music. OK, now we are off to Groningen for another gig and video shoot. Hope to see you there! Forgive me father for I have sinned.....mo,ho,ho,ho,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!! (satanic laughter) /Lucifer Larson
