the fall concert

PUNK AND POETRY

So excited all week!! I’m off to see The Fall.
Poetry performances and lectures started the evening off, and then the most fantastic concert of the year (ok I know its only january but anyway): The Fall, at Petrol venue, Antwerpen.
Mark E. Smith looked like the boss of a transport company, with his black trousers, white shirt and polished shoes.
He came on stage, said nothing, and after the intro he started muttering lyrics into a bout 4 different mics, at times dropping one or the other, sometimes fiddling at the amp and other times at the synth.
I stood up front just beneath the stage, and danced a lot….luckely the girls next to me where going insane too, as the rest of the crowd was being far too boring. There was an amazing instrumental bit near to the end, something indescriptible, beween rock, electro, metal and goth, very weird!

the fall

Unfortunatly straight after the band had walked off stage, the sound guys put a bloody CD on, really loud, and so having had no time to digest the sounds of the Fall, they were simply wipped out of my head…not very poetic at all.

    Salut Champagne !
    That’s great you make a minimal blog (and not a myspace website).
    woooo… keep up.
    Maybe we’ll meet at a party dancing just beneath the stage, my preferate place also. It remembers me the concert of Aavikko a few weeks ago in Rotterdam.
