Shit happens again ... At this very moment
that I write these words we should be playin' on stage in Cafe Central in
Brussels. These days everybody knows about the terrorist threat in
Brussels this week, with as a consequence a lot of things cancelled. This
particularly gig was in fact not cancelled, but only 2 of us wanted to
come to play in Brussels, so this time we had to cancel our gig ourselves
... |

Today you had to find us on stage in the
well-known pub Gasolina, but instead I'm drinkin' some cool beers at home.
It was always a difficult communication since we were invited to play
there, but in the week before the gig the female bartender finally mailed
us back that the pub was closed because of a bankrupt, so gig cancelled. |

Another fine gig we had last week in a
local pub in Oeselgem, in nearly the backyarden of Keez' place. Things went smooth again:
good gig, good people, good pub, and 10 am was again a very late hour till
we arrived home ... |

It was a very long time ago that we gigged
in Tielt, and last week it was time do it again. The occasion was a
private party organized by the man behind the famous Poes-beer, let's say our
beer-colleague in Tielt. A lof of people, good party, good gig, and very
late in the morning till we got home ... |

Rat City Riots is the indoor edition of the
famous outdoor Ratrock festival in Harelbeke, and indoors was even more
fun than outdoors. We opened the night at 4.30 pm and the venue was
already filled for 3 quarters. We played a good gig that was much
appreciated by the audience. Big names that played after us: Varukers (GBR),
Vandal X, Vice Squad (GBR), Funeral Dress, Casualties (USA). We really had
fun there. At about 4 am we returned home, and soon we got a police car
behind us. Of course they made us stop and driver Zjantie had to do an
alcohol test which turned out to be positive. To tell things shortly: we had to spend 6 hours in the car on a road
in the middle of nowhere before we could go to search
his driver license again at the police station. No need to tell we were
thirsty and hungry by that time and had to visit another pub before
getting home. I only found my bed in the evening after quite some drinks
with the family :). |

The 15th edition of our Rock@SKP on 12/09 was
again entirely to the point, and
this counts as well for the quality of the bands as for the quantity of
the audience. As for me personally I was overwhelmed by the sudden death of my
father who we just went to burry the very same afternoon. For obvious
reasons, we skipped the gig of our family band Freddy & the D'oghz. However I didn’t want
to skip our own gig. As a result I played a quite emotional concert, which
seemed to be very appreciated by the audience. Thanx all of you for your
support and your hugs. |

Yesterday we had to play an open-air gig at Dudzele but the weather decided otherwise: a short but heavy storm in the
mornin' blew away the tent, a part of the stage and some other stuff too,
after which the organization decided to cancel their activities for the
rest of the weekend. We feel sorry for you, guys of the organization :(,
and we hope you don't have too much damage. |

The people behind "De
Ark van Pollare", an organization that takes care of stray animals,
set up a benefit-festival on the 4th of July. We met an enthusiastic
organization and a lot of bands, so even the small audience and the awful
sound didn't bother us nor the other
bands to give a good gig and to amuse us ! |

Again a bit late to let you know we played
another gig in our homecity Tielt on 22/05. It was from 2006 we played in
Tielt itself. Peure Rock was an open-air festival organised by the local
care and counselling centre for people with a disability. The festival
took place in a really beautiful environment, the bands were a mix-up of
different styles, and we amused ourselves again very well as we stayed
till the last persons at the place. |

We're nearly halfway 2015 and it looks like we spent a lot of time
this year in the preparation of the second edition of our
TieltRockt!-festival,
a threedayfestival with all the 29 bands of our hometown Tielt. As said it
was an enormous work to organize it all, but it was again a very very
satisfying edition. Previously to that, we had in February fun on stage in
the Walloonish part of Belgium with Les Slugs, and in March we had fun in
Ostend with the British guys of Monkfish, two times a good gig if we
remember well ;). |
