Friday November 12th 2010, 'So What' Gouda.
Tracks: Coming soon.
Note: Theatrical, Dutch languaged sample-cabaret from the Amsterdam Squat-scene, sending out their critical messages.

'The Heights' So What Gouda, Friday December 23rd 2005.
The Heights (Noordwijk Aan Zee), 4-track recorded.
Friday December 23rd 2005, ‘So What’ Gouda, during ‘De Goudse Afrekening’ live-broadcast.
Tracks: Then The Letting Go/Watch My Head Explode/A Little Bit Of A …/I Am The Trip/Do You Love Yourself?/Beachyhead/So Long/Compass Inside/(Unknown)/Philosophy/In Another Life/Cinnamon/Docklands/River Phoenix/Summer’s Over.
Note: Britpop induced Pop/Rock, with former ‘Zoppo’ singer. Booked in an attempt to get more crowds, the organising team left the ‘Budgetfree bookings’ principle for this night. It didn’t work. The set was nice, but slightly done on ‘Auto-pilot’, with a singer missing some important notes.

'Ammocave',So What Gouda, Friday December 23rd 2005.
Ammocave (Gouda/Utrecht/Zoetermeer), 4-track recorded.
Friday December 23rd 2005, ‘So What’ Gouda, during ‘De Goudse Afrekening’ live-broadcast.
Tracks: So Long/Half A Lie/Madison Avenue/No More Tricks/Skin & Bones/Jam/Enough/My Own Way/Plastic.
Note: Hardrock, augmented by former ‘Herman Brood’-saxplayer Boris van der Lek. Caused a huge stir, when ‘management’ send in a list of requirements. We neglected them and the rest of the apologising band had a good talk with the manager, as they understood this could very well ruin their chances to gig. Which they did in the end, being one of the loudest acts ever playing the broadcast. As several amps were left out off the PA-signal, the recordings suit their purpose, without being overly Hifi. One of the last gigs with singer Reindert, who was thrown out few months later.

'Ouwe Gouwe' Festival, April 17th 2010.
’Ouwe Gouwe’ Festival 2-track recorded.
Saturday April 17th 2010, ‘So What’ Gouda.
Note: A new, indoor festival, mixing young new bands with more experienced ones and some briefly reüniting for the occasion. I made kind of experimental live-recordings, using a new mixing desk to make my own mix of the unprocessed 14 lines with sounds from the stageblock and recording it on a Flashrecorder directly. Although not perfect, it gave quite usable results. Despite strange things happening, like two signals coming from 4 different lines. Or not at all!! Which meant ‘Plugging by chance’ with every new set! Challenging and frustrating at the same time.
Slice (Of Merlin) (Gouda/Bodegraven/Rotterdam/Oudewater), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Flying Pig/Beware/Boring Day/Roots Under My Feet/Heart Of Darkness/Extatum (Part)/Soft As Water.
Note: One of the local legends, mixing influences like ‘The Doors’ and old ‘Pink Floyd’ to a melodic, multi-layered and inventive sound. Considered by many as their ‘Comeback’-gig, it turned out to be their one-but-last! To the amazement of many, including myself, they announced their swansong for June 4th during this performance. Which got postponed, as their guitarist broke his wrist three days prior to that. Their final, sold out gig was on Saturday November 6th 2010 in local club ‘De Gonz’. ‘Extatum’ was only partially recorded, as their set lasted longer than the space on my flashcard, used for this gig.
Kelvin (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Running Away.
Note: New band from ‘Sportclub De Volharding’ guitarist. Recorded one track only, because I had shortage of memory to get every note by every band. Regrettably.
Quip! (Gouda/Haastrecht/Waddinxveen), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Try My Friends/Too Much Of A Bad Thing/Last Time Bright/Lost In Life.
Note: Shortlived reunion of this Blues-infused slightly psychedelic Rockband, done for the occasion of this festival. Great to see them back on stage for one more time.
Horizon (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Boskoop), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Screaming Out Loud/Can’t You See/Lifestyle.
Note: Information provided to me announced them as a youg coverband, who turned out to play female fronted Rocky pop with some self-penned songs. I captured 2,5 track, after fighting ‘disappeared’ lines, resulting in one of the voices not being fully audible.
Usual Suspects (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Return A Favour/You Can’t Hold Me/I Don’t Know/Runaway/Victim.
Note: Young Rocking Punkband, making their first proper stage-performance.
Slang Dang (Gouda/Reeuwijk/Bodegraven), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Alone/Love/Slang Dang Fever/Café/Hell Of A Party.
Note: Another band that reunited for the festival. Mainly rehearsed drinking beer (as rumour goes), the set was somewhat loose, but nevertheless one of the highlights of this day in my opinion. Truly great to see them back playing their Metalized Funky Bluesrock on stage, since they decided to give it another go after this gig.
Summer Breeze Project (Gouda/Rotterdam/Utrecht/Amsterdam), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Power/In The Meantime/Omerta/Goin’ Down/Master & Servant/PTSD.
Note: Ambitious and quite successful Prog-rockband from the area, played a short, but intense and very concentrated set.
Eve Of Dawn (Gouda/Haastrecht), 2-track recorded.
Tracks:/Welfare State/Unapproachable/Frightened.
Note: Another band that reformed for the festival and decided to give it another go. They played some New Wave infused Alternative Rock.After splitting up in 1995, members emerged in bands like ‘Velvet Lane’, ‘Quip!’ and ‘Mother Of Pearl’. Guitarist Wilbert van Straten used to be a classmate in Secondairy School and had to give up guitarplaying early 1997 due to RSI. But this day he was there again!
Flowdown (Gouda/Bodegraven/Rotterdam/Oudewater), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Another Day/Flying.
Note: Nu-Metallish Grungeband that came to the scene in the early 90’s under the name ‘Conquistador!’. Nearly everything changed from line-up to genre, except for the guitarist. I was only able to record the firstst two tracks of their set, as one of the memorycards used to store the recordings, ran out of space. Alas.
Ammocave (Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Magic Anger Blender/Stronger Stuff/Answers/Face The New Moon.
Note: Sort of ‘Comeback’-gig, after being inactive for quite some time, due to several changes of frontmen in the years past. Slightly loose, though reasonable convincing set by the band of one of the Festivals’ instigators!
Poultry (Bodegraven/Reeuwijk/Gouda), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Hypocrite/My Friends/Speak Up/Responsability/High Standards/College Years/Kiss Of Betrayal..
Note: Steaming hometown gig by this Punkrock outfit, that’s got their EP out in Japan on a local label. Aired few new tracks that night and served as a perfect warmup for headliner ‘Blind Justice’.
Blind Justice (Rotterdam), 2-track recorded.
Tracks: Intro/Stuck In My Mind/Weazel/Brainless/Life Is Bitter/Boulder/Cage Of Fear/Social Failure/Breathe/In Exuilibrium/Are You Different?.
Note: Farewell-gig by this ‘legendary’ Gouda originating Metalband, that started off as a schoolband and made it it to major stages, festivals and TV-shows, both under their own moniker, as in a package with Dutch languaged Hiphop-pioneers ‘Osdorp Posse’. They once appeared on an international Metal-sampler with ‘little known’ bands as ‘Sepultura’! Leaving the ‘bass-in-a-box’ at home, singer/guitarist Attila Szabo switched to bassguitar for the occasion. Playing songs from throughout their career, they said closed the BJ-book, to start writing a new one under the name ‘3AM’ (‘Three Angry Men’). As I ran out of memorycards, the last 40 seconds of ‘Are You Different?’are missing. Alas!

Boegies - 'So What' Gouda, May 18th 1990.
Boegies (Groningen/Roden), 2-track recorded.
Friday May 18th 1990, 'So What' Gouda.
Tracks: Intro (Mayo-Let's Go Intro-Zwynen By Candlelight)/He Joh, Toe Nou Joh/Free French Fries/Jannes v.d. Wal Lied/Dikke Tamme/Old Smokey/Time To Die/Spokje/Burst/De Dorpsgek/It's Too Late/Chaoska/Floorpizza/Summer/Wy Zyn Zwyn/Koud Bier/Pogo 65+/Darr-ling/Eggs On Bacon/Leap The Ditches/Don't Do It (Behind My Back)/Cakes & Ale/Nietschegonje. Encore: Piepke, Moart'n, Dougel, Maak/Mien Schoefmoat Is Vot/Meh/He Joh, Toe Nou Joh/Penose Punx/Mooie Boom/Elke Punk Viert ook Het Kerstfeest/Zoeplap/Lallend Ten Onder.
Notes: Soundboard-recording given to me by guitarist Mark Tilstra for being such a dedicated fan (and bringing along a bottle of fine 'Moskovskaya' wodka). Despite 'The Rolling Stones'playing in nearby Rotterdam, the venue was packed! Part of the gig was disturbed by some very annoying skinheads, which later on gave birth to some 'heroic stories on fights'. There wasn't a single one! Most of the 200 people present were too eager to see the gig, while the rest was too scared to fight. Marcello from 'So What' convinced the three skins to leave the club peacefully by plain talking. This incident explains the extended encore the band gave this evening.

The 1-2-5 - 'So What' Gouda, December 30th 2003.
The 1-2-5 (Gouda/Leiden/Amsterdam), 4-track recorded.
Tuesday December 30th 2003, ''So What' Gouda, during 'De Goudse Afrekening' live-broadcast.
Tracks: Heaven & Hell/Daddy Died On Saturday/Heartfull Of Soul/Leavin’ Here/Substitute/Your Body, Not Your Soul/Till The End Of The Day/I Can’t Explain/I'm A Boy/Amazing Journey/Sparks/Why Don’t You/You’re Gonna Miss Me/So Long/Rumble On Mersey Square/Shakin' All Over.
Notes: started in 1989, from the ashes of recently revived ‘The Unexplained. The band played 1965 Garagebeat-inspired songs, which were put out on several 7”s and a vinyl-album. This night hoewever, they played loads of ‘Who’-covers, as they were in the middle of a European tour, performing ‘Tommy’ in a set, inspired by the ‘Live At Leeds’ album. The gig started unannounced and unplanned, making me miss the start of ‘Heaven And Hell’. As the liveshow had two more records scheduled, the liveset was already started, when it was put on air. Due to a problem, the PA was switched to MONO-sound, making the two venue-mikes adding a slight stereo-feel to the recordings.

Tracks: Oh My God/Hometown/Unknown/Yeah/Unknown/Unknown/Unknown/Unknown.
Note: great liveband, who somewhow failed to connect with the audience that night. Promising band, who never made it in the end. Due to a problem, the PA was switched to MONO-sound, making the two venue-mikes adding a slight stereo-feel to the recordings.

Tracks: Born Loser/I Gave My World/You Broke My Heart Twice/Verblind Verstand/Fake Love/Died Chase.
Note: As Desiree sang, Tyshanti de Jonge provided backing vocals and John de Heij played guitar while providing more backing vocals. Due to a technical problem, the PA was switched to MONO-sound, making the two venue-mikes adding a slight stereo-feel to the recordings.

George Baker (Waddinxveen), 4-track recorded.
Friday April 18th 2003, 'So What' Gouda.
Tracks: Una Paloma Blance, Santa Lucia By Night, Little Green Bag and others.
Note: at the last moment the soundman of George Baker installed his own equipment, bypassing the venue's PA-system, so the whole gig was recorded through two mikes in the hall, making a lesser quality. Left in the vault, untill decision was to be made on broadcasting. The tapes somehow got accidentally wiped.

Tracks: Scared/A Brand New Day/Gasoline For Your Life/Into The Sky/"Tuning up"/In Love/You (For A Princess)/Politiks (‘Coldplay’)/Unknown/Trash (Suede)/Bohemian Like You (Dandy Warhols).
Note: new band from former ‘Mint’-drummer Edwin Bol. Very promising, they screwed up the gig by not playing at their best and doing covers for the second part of the set. Split up after listening back these recordings, though that wasn’t the underlying cause.

Note: local collective with Oscar X (‘Onderhonden’), Neo, Manu, Gregg and Buddah Bless, popping up from the underground. Slightly tame gig, as Oscar had flu and came right out of bed. After several projects, Manu is now drawing great attention nationwide.

Jammah Tammah (Groningen/Leeuwarden/Amsterdam), 4-track recorded.
Friday June 7th 2002, 'So What' Gouda.

T./The Candysong/Slowdown Injection/Zigeunerpunk/De Schokkers/Kop Van Jut/Riddim Have You Gone Mad?/Mambo City/Push It Up/’Speluh!’/Kicks Of Red/Where Is The Sun/Unknown/Al Capone (Part).
Note: final tour, with 5 dates left to play. It was hot, but great! The band enjoyed themselves possibly even more than the festive audience, leading to some silly intermissions near the end. As the band hit the stage, I had to run to my equipment, missed a step and landed flat on my face in front of the stage.

Mint (Gouda/Londen), 4-track recorded.

Tracks: Tell Me What's New/Missionairy Girl/Members In Water/On Your Own/Where Have I Been?/Wrong Come Along/Caroline/Just Another Daytime/When The Day Is Over/("Audience")/Unknown/Rain, Rain/Unknown.
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.

Tracks: Inside out/Seven/All These Years/Vaporized/Filter/Nothing to say.

Note: as part of the ‘Oktoberfeste’, this German Hammond-wizzard was invited to play. The venue was packed with partying people, making it a great event. The mikes used to pick up the venue-sound weren't functionning, so only the soundboard-track was recorded, missing part of the fun that was going on. After mixing, the tape got lost for months, finally resurfacing april 2003.

'Vers Uit De Vest'-Festival, 4-track recorded.
Saturday June 9th 2001, 'So What' Gouda.
Indicate (Gouda, Haastrecht, Reeuwijk).
Tracks: Intro/Unknown/It’s Your World Too/Good Times For Us/Unknown/Still Unknown/Demon In Family/(‘Stretch Armstrong’ cover)/Unknown/The Luck/Indicate!/Difficult Sincerity.
Note: final hometown-gig of the band. Though slightly chaotic, the band played a great gig and had a party, playing home again. Guitarist Simon split his head, when he hit a stagelight in sheer enthusiasm. Had to be stitched up after the gig, which he finished with some Band Aids. Dissolved after short European tour in July 2001. Members later turned up in bands like ‘Malkovitch’ and ‘I Reject’.
Lame Art (Gouda/Waddinxveen/Reeuwijk).
Tracks: Coming soon.
Note: right after the release of their ‘Spanks Man’ EP, the band played a slightly experimental set, inspired hugely by ‘O.K. Computer’ of ‘Radiohead’. It turned out to be their final hometown-gig before reforming as 'Clockwork' in different line-up.
Mint (Gouda, Londen).
Tracks: Intro/Just Another Daytime/Rain/Caroline/Tell Me What's New/Monday To Monday/Members In Water/On Your Own/When The Day Is Over/Wrong Come Along/Where Have I Been.
Note: after the gig, the band was told by ‘indicate’ bassplayer, they sucked. Which the band heard, shrugging their shoulders afterwards. An unknown quantity of CD’s with these recordings were sold by the band. Which I never knew. Singer Maurits later became frontman of Utrecht based ‘Gem’.
