Changsha concert 2 & 3








Our second concert in Changsha felt a little bit like a fairytale. The Chinese can be very inventive with special effects. Apart from noisy smoke machines, there were guns with soap bells, floating flowers and off course, fireworks around Tony's drums. We got the crowd to stand up, sing along and dance around us while we were playing. The Chinese band that played before us, asked us how we did it? Don't know how, Steven just asked it with his four words of Chinese and they went for it all the way.

After we heard the sad news that Marc Moulin has left us, we played a little tribute to him last night at our last concert in Changsha. His work with Placebo and Telex has been inspiring us as a band. We've even once asked him to produce our record but unfortunately agenda's didn't fit. After he heard our version of Moskow Diskow, he sent us an Email saying he was delighted by the arrangement. Hope he is jamming along with his heroes right now!

Once more, we were offered a three month tour in China, they keep on saying we're their number one band;-) They don't mean next year, they talk about right now. We'll see what happens...

See new pictures on picassa!

Ze gaan dus echt uit de bol, lopen zo ook heet enthousiast? De klanken en 't ritme? NB, een prachtige foto, de blazers in silhouet tegen 't vuurwerk. Nog veel succes en ... is het er nniet te warm? Vincent.

Weer verdwenen van de aardbol ? Geen nieuws in 24 u. Of toch te warm in Guangzhou ? Vincent.

Er zijn er hier twee in Belgiƫ die een vreugde-dansje maken, want opa TITI komt naar huis.

Lotte kan intussen drummen, misschien moet je het hier en daar nog een beetje bijsturen, ze wacht met ongeduld.

Oma DODO heeft intussen 12 sjaals en 36 truien gebreeƫn, was jij maar wat vaker in het Verre Oosten ... zo een productieve periode ...

Groetjes van Sophie, Stef en Lotte
Tot morgen!
