dEUS on tour Official Podcast

Two months and a half, day by day, since the last Vantage point gig.
We finished the tour in our home town village aka Belgium. And we started it again, a calendar year later, in Rubens country.
In dEUS’ very own city. I think it was their first indoor gig in Antwerp since…hum, Belgian trappist beer was invented or something.
A while ago, for sure, anyway.
2 months and a half ago. You’d think some people would take some quality tea time break after such a heavy year …and serious partying.

Well think again.
Tomy pretty much completed the new Magnus (with CJ Bolland…and Tim VanHamel) opus while we were still recovering from the New Year’s blast we had (took me a month and a half this time, pfffff).
I know Mauro did about 50 gigs with different projects, from free jazz to monstrous DJ sets, via the Grooms and through a lovely hell, I guess. One of which saw him spreading his poetry in front of an audience for the first time. His very own book should pop up pretty soon.
Bang on your favorite literature store, or door. Flanked by the great Ramsey Nasr, I wasn’t too convinced at first but I’m sure the project evolved smoothly after the opening night.
Sorry Mauro, wanted to ask you for tickets for a later performance, but life kept me away from the meaning of…stage life, I guess. Loved your poetry. Truly. And both characters.
Stef stood on the producer chair for the new Pornorama record. And did the same, while drumming, on his new project (again, featuring the one and only Tim VanHamel, apparently back from…never been gone. Thank gOD) : the Disco Drunkards. And of course took care, between two holidays, of his lovely new born little sunshine.
Klaas was, I guess, looking for action. Or reaction. Hum hum. No. No. This is not one of Andersen’s << Garden of Paradise >> stories, nor a fairy tale happening, but he also became a proud father (my space generation, that’s how you call us, innit ?) for the…third time. Nice one Bros.
Alan, in the meantime, did play some very complicated, greatly skilled music. Talented musicians we needed, when scoring in front of a very << know about >> music lovers, and other connoisseurs. Musicians uber alles. Or is it united ? Nice one anyway.
After that he decided to put a new life in his used but still perfectly shaped strings on a few Brazilians beaches, for weeks. Poor turtles, I know he loves chasing you.

Now you know what happened.
But this one is about the future.
You’ll see musicians working, friends joking, and life lovers in action. Even if sometimes, movies, and podcasts, don’t truly reflect …the action. This one suggests, more than shows. That’s why this one is, I think, for the true fans.
You’ll get a glimpse of a very own extravaganza show here in country Belgium. Humo’s Pop Poll. Which is huge here. The magazine. A very influential TV weekly. Just so u know. Dear (sometimes) lucky people of other latitudes. What/where ? Who cares.
They won pretty much everything here. Best Album. Best band. Best single.
You’ll also have an inside look at the creative process of…creation.
But mostly of their first << after Vantage point >> show.
Is there such an << after >> thing? Music lives forever. So drop it Man.

Do you believe me ?
Humm…who knows.
Please have a look at …55 hours with dEUS.
And ?
Well. Who said: truth is a virus ?
Follow the wind. Birds are coming back. And winter is hell.
And this one is way too long.
Have a Triple Westmalle beer.
Or a triple Karmeliet if you ask me.

More, soon.

And long live the future.

Damn right.

Vp.
