Indicate - 'So What' Gouda, May 17th 1999.

Indicate (Gouda/Haastrecht/Reeuwijk), 4-track recording.
Friday May 17th 1999, 'So What' Gouda.
Tracks: Impulse/Pointing Finger/Fake Friend/Empty Words/Get Out/Difficult Sincerity/Ape/What Is Human?/T.M.I.M.N./ G.H.C.

Note: hardcoreband from local ‘Green Heart Core’-scene. Made a party where ever they went, making their gigs somewhat messy. Went in the studio right after this gig, recording their demo at night. Which came out quite well. Several members later moved on to bigger bands like ‘Malkovich’ and ‘I Reject’.

Lame Art - 'Koornbeurs' Delft, April 14th 1999.

Saturday April 14th 1999, 'Koornbeurs' Delft.
Tracks: The Far Indies/Released/Aim For The Brain/Oblivion/Duco's Waking Nights/Disfiction/Catch The Sun/The Only Ones That Try/Parasites/My Sister Dead In The Sea/At The Forest/Buildings On Ashes/New Substance Of Music/Vicious.

Note: Headlining this night, the band was in great shape, delivering one of their best gigs ever. This period is considered their peak. Having the original 4 track tapes stored in my archive, I remixed the gig for a better sound in 2008. Keeping the original mix on cassette in the archive as well, ofcourse.

Puz - 'Koornbeurs' Delft, April 14th 1999

Puz (Rotterdam/Nw Beijerland), 4-track recording.
Saturday April 14th 1999, 'Koornbeurs' Delft.
Tracks: Win Some, Lose Some/Sore Brains/Greed/3 Years/Explain The Way/All The Time/Girl In Pain/Best In The End/Shades/Life During Wartime.

Note: My first ever live-recordings using a 4 track cassetterecorder. As it was new to the venue as well, someone bluntly switched off the mike channels while recording. I made sure he never did this again. Listening back at the mix, I’d probably do it different now, but it’s okay.
