Happy Birthday !
25 04 2008So here we are ! Another tour bus was waiting for us. Everybody picked their own bunk. Some people consciously close to the party lounge. Others close to the never ending quietness (does such a thing truly exist on a tour bus you ask yourself…well, you’d be amazed !)
From now on, from too early in the morning to way too late in the evening we’ll be seeing each other. Talking about important stuff… but mostly about loads of (mainly funny) crap ! Sharing ideas, impulses, compulsions, pictures, thoughts, moments, feelings, clothes, toilet necessities… and other restless and never ending stories. Sometimes even kind of arguing. If we really feel like it. Always with a tender cheek given to the counterpart, though. Naturally.
I personally spent, oh, much more than five years of my life, almost counting day by day, on such ” celebratory ” moments. And it’s still amazing to see how different people/bands react to a given situation. Some don’t care, and are exactly what they are like at home: messy, cool, clever, sexy. Some do care, and are exactly not what they are like at home: clean, sharp, gentle. And still sexy, I guess. In a way. No names. Who cares.
This is pod two of the new dEUS Vantage Point tour. Too early to really get you into the buzz. But not too late, I hope, to make you want to know more about what’s going on. In crescendo. Still so much to come. To live through. To have fun with. And be serious about what we do at the same time.
Hum hum hum.
For your personal record this one starts with a messy -I chose the effect, don’t know if the band will like it though!- a cappella version of the new song « Slow » -guess you all know it by heart by now, innit ?- recorded during soundcheck at rehearsal in Breda, Holland, on April 5th.
Following it you can enjoy the same song -in full flavor- recorded live in Mannheim, Germany, on April 10th.
You’ll then be delighted to hear a small interview with our lovely support band from Brussels, The Black Box Revelation. Followed by an extract recorded live in Amsterdam, Holland, on April 15th.
We will be ending with a beautiful acoustic version of « The Vanishing of Maria Schneider » recorded for the BBC on April 17th, live, in London. Somewhere in the city centre. To be vague enough.
And, oh, almost forgot… finally a little birthday cake will be served…
Hope you like it.
And hope you’re OK !
