Dear Blog..
Now i've seen it all! I went to a small demure, intimate little concert of HOOVERPHONIC!! Just around the riverbend.. (about a 40 min drive) to Sint Niklaas.. to a little place called THE CASINO..
(that we almost yet crossed while walking to our adress..)
First of all .. cocktails at BIZZY BELOY... (just great!)
than a 5 min walk...
Yes.. it were standing places..
Yes.. we were there by 7.45.. just in the nick of time, before it got to crowdy.
Yes.. doors opened at 8... and everybody was running upstairs!
Yes.. standing perfectly still till 9 when it would start!
YES.. the freakking best place.. just centimeters from the stage.. a freakking great spot for pictures and taking vids..
yes! the feels - the looks - the golden oldies - the original voice of Geike Arnaert.. YES! it matched really!
Yes.. throw in soms strings.. (3 violins - one cello I think?) great add!
YES YES YES... it twas the perfect night.. and still i'm humbled by the wee presence of this group.. it was like i'm honored or something by them.
YEs it was a tryout for only 30 euros (per person) .. and it was more or less the same setup for their grand tour that starts in september and is allready sold out!
And yet I got to manage tickets for this concert just back in february.. with a little help from a pushnotice from Facebook!
And what a night - what a blast this night was...
We were defenitly starstrucked being there in that atmosphere of most of the 90's.. (is this was aging really feels like?? just surfing every wave of youth when it comes in???!!) must be.. but it was quite the ride..
"Jackie Cane, Sometimes, You've got that strange effect, MAD ABOUT YOU"... every piece of art! This was actuatlly kind of Mics vibe to go to, but in the end I enjoyed it very much as well!
And quite the touch throwing in their ESC song into it.. although they actually finished quite badly back in '21... but nonetheless, its quite a good sound! Very underrated song!
And then there was this one song.. with a sudden mash up from another song.. I thought it was a song by LANA DEL REY.. but cannot find the link to it. (yet)
And yes.. I couldn't bend my knees after that standing till 11..
very cutesy, very demure Hooverphonic..
I actually even liked the smalltalk by Alex.. his haircut's still a big no.
And the superb singing by Pieter Peirsman.. in Badaboum... (and he can cary a tune this guy.. AND playing the guitar as well..) yes.. this type of musican is really my type!! A bit of fangirling at this point, my apologies!
YAY HOOVERPHONIC - great job, bringing memories - creating them - putting a smile on my husbands face and automatically on mine as well =)
Thank you - all the best...
xx
Great night with my man!
