hi y'all!
a lotta things going on again the next couple of days.. first of all, to quote the Undertones, here comes the summer! finally it's there! :) luckily this means mucha musica caliente!!! For instance this Thursday PACIFICO, a nice evening with summervibes at bitterzoet, australian singer-songwriter Saritah. Another opportunity is Los de Abajo tuesday the 20th at the helling.. the clash goes cumbia! Besides these gigs there are two nice parties at the storm again, this and next week!!
this saturday is the one-year-anniversary of the elephant soundsystem @ acu. nice reggaetunes with every now and then some dancehall y reggaeton!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! The gig of the week: GOGOL BORDELLO.. a show you just have to see!! Hard to explain how good they are.. compare it with flogging molly, no that’s not good enough, take mano negra!!! And instead of irish folk, or latin they take BALKAN music and built a first class party!! (supported by good ol’ pigmeat ) CHECK http://www.gogolbordello.com for impressions!! this sunday at the melkweg and for those who are on the brilliant festival Oerol.. you're chance is monday five o'clock on the green beach!!
I sure hope to see you somewhere the next week
take care!
