Weekly fuel to soundtrack your favorite 48 hours…

After four albums the Kentucky indie rockers CAGE THE ELEPHANT are on top of te underground scene. Inspired by the best sounds of the mid-Sixties pop & rock they became succesful experts in turning those elevating vibes into nowadays emo-tional
and spectacular alternative firework. This live rendition of CRY BABY, one of the many highlights of latest album Tell Me I’m Pretty will vitalize all your senses…

Last Tuesday they played in The Netherlands as part of a(nother) short European tour.
As they ignored Belgium I crossed the border to see them in the legendary Paradiso in Amsterdam . Wow! I was aware (long live YouTube) of the band’s live reputation but the tsunami I experienced was nothing less than overpowering with a remarkably young crowd jumping up and down from start to finish and singing every single word of each song. Really stunning. An unstoppable stream of adrenalin, on and off the stage. Here
are some pics…

SPIRITUALIZED – Come Together In The Weekend…

Weekly fuel to inflame your favorite 48 hours…

JASON PIERCE was co-founder of British psychedelic cult band Spacemen 3 (1982-1991).
A highly talented collective of drugs influenced egos who shaped their own world of mind-twisting, far-out sonic jams. “They were one of the great rock experiences producing a full array of throbbings, pulsings, yowlings, reverbs, triple echoes and sheer whiplash volume” wrote NME contributor Danny Kelly once after one of their spectacular, yet chaotic shows. After Spacemen 3 exploded Pierce formed SPIRITUALIZED to continue his own search and exploration of lazer guided melodies with 1997 album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space as one of his most succesful achievements. He played this masterpiece in full just a few weeks ago in London – review of The Telegraph here. Last year, in Amsterdam, I saw the transcendent musician and his orchestra live (again) for a one-off performance. And, yes, he still conducts astonishing, spiritual symphonies that mess up your mind in a most pleasing way from his traditional right spot on the stage. Hopefully the rumours of a new 2017 album are true. Anyway today is his 51st birthday (born 19 November 1965). Let’s come together and celebrate…
