just got back from the kontich gig. I'm bad at gig reviews so Arne - help me out ! The Lintfabriek is actually a "youth house" (jeugdhuis) and is about half the size of the Temple Bar. The place was nicely filled but not packed. approx 200 people showed up for a max capacity of 250-300.

Set List and highlights:
Police Truck - Xquezz Me
Nuttmeg world
Unyielding Conditioning

karma tsunami
Monkey dick
primadawnut

Demon in Here
Fishbone is red hot

the crowd was a little slow to warm up despite the first songs. Not many of us had heard the new records i guess. Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to promote it a bit. i don't know if nuttsactor 5 is distributed in Europe, but the records are available online at a decent price... No records at the merchandising booth either except the DMV ones.

Anyway i dont know how, but they continue to amaze me everytime i see them. There's no way to get tired... Monkey dick was an highlight along w/ karma tsunami, are you wid it and the first encore.

The guys seemed to be enjoying themselves. Talked briefly to John, Angelo and Norwood. If you come across these guys, the message we need to get through is :
-put back "loose our minds" on the songs roster -have Dirty walt sing "Who do you believe"

according to Norwood, number two is going to be the hardest thing to do. Apparently, walt is not interested in playing any other song than Nutmeg world...

this is it, reporting almost live from belgium

Denis, the crazy belgian dancer.

Not much to add here...

Again a fantastic show... Very nice mix of old and new... (hey they even played lyin' ass bitch and unyielding conditioning...)

When comparing with 4 or 5 years ago, they have definitely grown alot, and I have to say it again, the new songs really live up to my expectations live... they already sound classic in my ears...

Angelo brought a little bit of djemba in the mix during Nutmeg world...

Angelo got annoyed by a girl up front who was smoking all the time..., first he took her sigarette and put it out, then waved at her with a towel, then said he felt it was damaging his voice, and in the end, he sprayed half a liter of water on her to get it out again... first she wasn't too happy, but then angelo came off the stage and cuddled her... wheew was she happy!

Well,

I'm looking forward to some more shows to come (Verviers, and Amsterdam...)

Good notice from Denis:
They should definitely promote their last album!!!!
Hey, how hard can it be to mention it from the stage, or put up a sign at the merchandise booth...

Best regards too all,

now the only thing I need is to get rid of these ringing ears...
