Darling Rooster (Moordrecht/Gouda/Haastrecht), live on air.
Recorded: January 14th 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: It’s All Been Done Before/Recipe For Happiness/Cutting The Tree/As Zek Nam
Note: 10 days before theior sort of headlining gig during a festival on Nationwide station ‘Kink FM’ in the main hall of Amsterdam ‘Paradiso’, the band dropped by the show for it’s first visit in 6 years.The band was late and for some reason I got the impression details talked over quite clearly hadn’t come in clearly. I wasn’t in the best of moods either, making the entry of the band not the smoothest. Soundchecking during the first track, made this one useless for furtherre-broadcasting, but tension flushed and we had a pleasant talk and continued live-set from that point on. Making clear to me, the band had grown incredible since their last visit. During the show, they aired a brandnew track, written and not at all finished over the previous 6 days. Closing tune was their interpretation of a Czech folktune, they picked up while touring in Czech Republic, the country leadsinger Petr Hora originates from.

Eefje 'In Session', Thursday January 6th 2011.
Eefje de Visser (Utrecht), 2-Track recorded.
Thursday January 6th 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2’ Gouda.
Tracks: Afdwaalt (Soudcheck)/Afdwaalt/Genoeg/Trein (TK 1-4)/Ik Dacht Na (TK 1-4)/Interview/ Opening TV Interview
Note: The second radio session in 8 years from ‘Grote Prijs’-winner Eefje de Visser, the day before she released both her debut-CD ‘De Koek’ and her band to the world. This session was also filmed for local TV with two camera’s and aired Jan 23rd – 29th 2011. Supported by ‘Most Unpleasant Men’-members Jelte Heeringa (glockenspiel, harmonium, vocals, percussion) and Joni Scholten (bas, vocals), she played a relaxed, joyfull session. ‘Afdwaalt’ (Wandering off), was recorded as a balance and configuration-check first, after which it took one take only, to get it done. ‘Genoeg’ (Enough) was taped in a single session too. After rehearsing chorusses, laughter crept in, so the first two takes of ‘Trein’ (Train) crashed due to that. The third take was stopped to adjust guitar levels, after which take 4 went okay. ‘ik Dacht Na’ ( I Was Wondering) crashed at it’s first go, while the second one was finished but abandonned, as Eefje forgot some words at a crucial point. Before the third take, I put a second mike to the harmonium, making it a stereo signal. After adjusting the mix, the third take run out, but unsatisfactoring as well, so the 4th and final take followed.
After the session was a wrap, I interviewed her for my show, with camera’s rolling simultaneously. After ending the talk at 27,5 minutes, one of the cameramen sighed “We don’t have that long on TV, you realise that”. Final take was an opening shot of me glancing in the camera and asking a first, starting question to Eefje for TV-purposes.
