New Rising Sun @ TRIX 30/10/2008 - Gig Review!!

Well Its not often that I go somewhere new, but yesterday I discovered a new part of Antwerp, TRIX. after taking an old tram and a short walk in to the biting cold concrete jungle suburbia, we arrived at Trix. Only to be told that the gig was full and the party was closed. LOL!! the look on Romulus's face, I just walked in and then was pleasantly surprised to see N.R.S plus their whole extended family's watching Mighty Joe Moon. I was Mightily unimpressed by Joe Moon, seems that they walked out of the nineties and had missed the last 8 years. Oh well inject some attitude guys, and some good looks and relax and start to enjoy yourselves!!

N.R.S had a great gig, they're my mates so I cant really say anything nasty about them, but I enjoyed there gig, a few bum notes here and there, and they finally relaxed on stage and enjoyed themselves, and so did I. Proud mums and dads beamed on as the applause got louder and louder, seems that a bit of folk rock cheered up the crowd after the dismal trip-rock of Mighty Joe Moon.

The third band to play was well known artists Koala though it has to be said that they can only be well known for there great guitarist Carlos Dyckmans, I would have much preferred to see him play with his side project band bastard nation instead of this idiot Belgan rapper IslaSoul. The band felt a bit build with a misplacing of musicians, mad props to the bassist for some nice slaps, but do you really need an imac and a keyboards and a drummer?? The pretty little front girl Sarah, sang beautifully but her lack of energy made me feel as though they should charge her up on Haribo and red bull before the gig, Like David and his thirteen beers!

Of course like all good blogger's I Stood in the crowd stoned and arrogant, someone should slap that rapper I cried!!! as he glared at me across the room. Maybe I will remix one of there tracks, watch out for the "slap the rapper-Koala" remix coming soon!! It is only anther tiny snapshot of the booming music scene here, and it was good to see some local artists in the crowd, supporting there local scene, and Local radio DJ's from Radio Centraal (106.7 FM stereo or streaming here) who we were finally able to give them a demo, and promised to play a track this coming thursday at midnight, LOL Drise is supprised to hear what he will choose!!

Looks Like Sieta has been spending too much time with pretty boys, she had lots of fun with Giorgio!! Maybe we will see him on a billboard soon!!

+MORE TRIS

+more sunday couch session!! - In my little bubble!!

(video from antwerpwebcam, click for the live feed, taken on the day I got here!!)

In my little bubble again, chilling on the couch, the rain is beating at the windows, and there's know one to go for a beer with!!! GRRRR!!!

Maybe I will go dancing??



Maybe not like this though look where he ended up!!

This week has been quite quiet, the rain and bad food have kept chillin so I don't have much fun stuff for you guys; Of course there is DJ Yll!'s new mixtape, which is super hot! Ive been listening to it all week!!


Fellow scenester and party kid Stijn; has a new blog, and It has some great tunes on it including the new mr oizo and uffie tune, great stuff guys keep it updated; GO TO PLASITKBLOG

Aaaaaah David is home the kassa calls, watch out for the new site coming next week!!!!!
Heres a Duvel for you Mels!!

Prostituition or politics??

Generation WE: The Movement Begins... from Generation We on Vimeo.

Its not often that I get all political but come-on its time for a bit of global consciousness, the people of America are about to make a choice that will affect the course of modern history and maybe the world as we know it. This video seems to be right on the point. Hopefully its not just anther spin by old people to make us vote in any way they wish but who can we trust???

Even presidents of countries are openly attacked by fat cats who want to cash in on the anti goverment movements. Not that Im a fan of Sarkozy of course!!!



Got to get yourself a sarko vodoo doll?? or maybe you just need a break from CNN and the BBC.... go to GNN for some real news!!!!
WWW.GNN.TV

Otherwise maybe politics will affect our lives in real ways, sex gets cheaper here in antwerp as top prostitute “Hot Marijke” offers deals to her banking clients; click here for more info

Remember where-ever you are in the world go out and vote!!! and voice you oppinions in your local community; ists not just charity that starts at home, its politics too!!

Old people dont understand what young people think
brought up by TV and playstations
they dont know how were all crazy
Old people dont know about internet, clubs, kebabs and DVDs
etc etc.....
Just another french rapper kicking off about how they are treated in FRANCE, oh well at least there is a white rabbit to chace!!


Changement [edited version]


Here is a cool track from Lucy Love danish grime MC dirty sexy GRRRRIME, I like it alot!!

more skinny legs

All we need is a skinny pair of legs, a nice bottle of wine and a warm bed

and suddenly we can breathe out, relax

let the world spin around, its glowing lights make us

smile and in that same heartbeat

the emotions that we can not express in words, crystalize

in a single teardrop. Is it possible that the world will stop turning?

will we all feel the final sound of silence?

no tear can cleanse this wound,

no beauty can make us smile,

no cloth can stop the dark blood from seeping on to the ground.

Why do we waste these beautiful gifts, cant we share this moment?

Leave the rest for anather day.

Its actually been quite a while since I sat down and wrote for this blog, seems that soo much stuff has happened in a small week. I was pretty busy getting wasted with drise and working in the resto, Mels left on Wednesday and he seemed to have a good trip although random texts about Singapore and fun messages are the only trail he has left behind. Of course the sun and the beach in sydney are awesome how do you think that makes me feel fu**er. Send some photos we are all and want to see the sun even if its only on my screen!!!

Blast Your Ghetto was great, I was soo mashed and everyone was Tripping in my nice fluo hoodie (check here for the flash). Nice to see the return after three months of Fanklub, they have there finger on the pulse and Rocked the room early into the morning. Playing alongside was Rex the Dog who has some fabulous remixes around at the moment, and has just realesed his EP.

New Rising Sun have stopped working and are spending alot of time in the studio preparing the next gig at TRIX even though Micheal is stuck out in Canada to see his brother and meet the family. We have a great new rock track from them, It is pretty rough because it was just recorded in rehearsal but it rocks. and of course I stole it just so that you can all hear.

NEW RISING SUN - NEWROCKSONG.mp3

We also went Mama Matrea to hear Shanti play his sexy reggae set. It was a great shame that the crowd was small and I had to leave early, in fact it was like a private gig for us with 20 others and It was absolutely stunning!!!

Well thats all for now lots more Fun stuff for you tomorrow.
