Note: emotionally loaded gig, as few weeks before Mariëlla de Geus, musician and frequently visiting the club, was murdered. ‘Rain’ was dedicated to her, during this explosive gig. Which started peculiar; after announcing the band, they hit the stage, realised the had forgotten a harmonica and left for the dressing room again. The bottle of whiskey they drank before the gig, wasn’t the cause, they repeatedly expressed afterwards! Before the gig ended, the live broadcast was over and the radioset got dismatled. At the end you literally hear the plugd being pulled out off my recorder! Final gig for this band as a trio, as members of ‘Sway’ came to this gig to try and convince singer Maurits to join them. Maurits auditionned, but was deemed ‘not good enough’. ‘Mint’-drummer Edwin auditionned too and made it. This fuelled internal tensions, making Edwin to leave soon after. ‘Mint’ continued as an acoustic duo for several gigs, playing their final one April 30th 2002.
