Disco Ensemble

Ok here's my review...

Yesterday we had 5 hours of school instead of 7. Everyone had to go to this movie (probbly a shittie one) cause they have CKV. Us being nerds have KCV, so we could skip that. School, shoppig, went home. For more details about school+shopping go to maxitaxi or stroopwaffel blog.
I wished i could have gone to the lost prophets concert... would have been fun. But hey we have FOB tickets(on a wensday in tilburg / had to cycle trough the rain to get tickets.. shows how much i love them) and OKGO tickets, so i cant complain.

Yesterday between the shopping and concert i wasnt exactly thrilled to go. I was very tired and i didnt know how the crowd would be. After the concert however, i was really happy.

About the crowd- there was no crowd. There were very few ppl ( about 80?). The balcony was closed cause there werent enough ppl. The support band didnt look to happy (probbly cause of this). San Andreas was the support act:

"Some bands do things in the strangest order. There seems to be no logic behind anything they do. But hey, things work, so why would they stop? Emocore loudmouths San Andreas are the absolute limit if it comes to being bang out of order. They booked a UK tour before they even had songs! Half a year later they booked the longest UK tour by a Dutch band in 2005: three consecutive weeks, checking out every pub and club in Albion. They applied for South by Southwest and got an invitation to go there before anybody at home in Holland had ever heard about them. "

I didnt really like them, a bit to screamo-ish. At first the most movement they got was this blonde emokid chewing gum. Later some ppl were moveing some head/legs/feet, but nothing to wild.

Before they (the supportact) started, we saw the DE singer look at the zaal. He had this brilliant WTFexpression (cause of the great amount of ppl he saw:P).

Disco Ensemble was great. I heard only a couple of their songs, but this time it didnt really matter, cause they played some of my favoured songs like Drop Dead Casanova, Black Euro and ofcourse We might fall apart.. (who has spotted the quote?). Anyway, they rocked. I've got photos+filmpjes. I'll upload them when ive got time. They got a 4man moshpit. It was very funny to watch a couple of guys trying to start a mosh pit. Because of the lack of ppl we could stand pretty close to the stage, it was awesome.

When they finished, the had still 30 min left before nienies dad would arrive to drive us home. So we sat on the stage (before the closed curtain). I heard footsteps behind me and looked behind the curtain. There was this roadie person playing the keyboard (unplugged) like nobody was watching him. It was pretty funny. When he saw me he immediatly stopped and walked away looking rather pissed. For a moment i though he was going to kick us of the stage..
Later when i looked again, he was standing there again, some stuff aan het opbergen, and this time the guy looked more embarrassed than pissed. So after a while, we were talking+sitting on the border of the stage+drinking some beer, i heard footsteps again. So i looked again and this time it was the bassplayer and drummer. Lasse Lindfors (bass) and Mikko Hakila (drums). They were pretty nice and M asked for autographs.

Disco Ensemble was better than P!ATD, but he support act of P!ATD (dutch band clueless) was better. I still think FOB's concert was the best of all.
Talking about fob, a lot of FBR bands have send holliday greetings, go watch at : http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=43833FB02F200329

Thats about it.

First off, die filmpjes op photobucket zijn echt sleeechte kwaliteit! Best raar, want dat ander filmpje dat je like 2 minuten erop had staan was wel okay.

Heb je dat DE filmpje van hun MySpace of niet? Die beelden van backstage zijn echt leuk om te zien.
Check btw hoeveel publiek er bij 2:11 is.

Trohman heeft zn haar laten groeien! Ahh kzou jaloers zijn als jullie hem straks live zien en hij zn afro weer heeft!

Vond jij Clueless beter dan Disco Ensemble?? Ik vond dat bij Clueless vooral de zanger aandacht kreeg, maar bij Disco Ensemble kregen ook de rest van de band (behalve de drummer =P) aandacht doordat de zanger naar hun toe liep of zich even omdraaide + wegliep. Mja, das mijn mening.

nee, k vond clueless beter dan san andreas

slechte kwaliteit is vanwege 't weinige licht+hard geluid

Oh right. Tja, moet ook wel. San Andreas vond ik ronduit KUT. Zelfs My Sister Harold vond ik beter.

"They applied for South by Southwest and got an invitation to go there before anybody at home in Holland had ever heard about them."

Maybe because no-one in Holland wants to hear them.
