The Blog Flamingo

 THE GREAT FAULTS - HOW DO YOU FEEL The Great Faults are an Indie Rock duo from Mülheim an der Ruhr in Germany. The two musicians switch instruments on stage, between guitar, drums, piano and bluesharp, expressing their love for old rock'n'roll and soul. The resulting energy always shows their earliest musical punk and grunge influences. How do you feel, for me, is a song that sticks in your head and the creative (diy?) video that comes with it is awesome. If you get the chance, go see them live, I think it's an amazing experience. And who knows, in the near future, they will come to a Black Flamingo near you. Lyrics : Partially in the video.

  TUESDAY VIOLENCE - MARABOU Last Friday I had the privilege to attend the Bridge City Sinners gig at Trefpunt in Ghent.  The gig was completely sold out but thanks to some great people (you know who you are) I still could go. The icing on the cake was that Tuesday Violence opened for BCS. Tuesday Violence is a Belgian (and a little bit of Dutch) trio that brings querky primitive garage punk... with an organ. And this (vintage) organ is important. Next to the straight in your face guitar rifs and pounding drums this organ provides a haunting atmosphere to the songs that throws you straight back to the sixties. All this combined with great vocals and an endless source of energy makes it almost impossible to stay unmoved by their show. The reason I chose Marabou was completely random. It could have been any of their songs, they are all amazing. Just check out the rest of their songs and I think you will know what I mean. Better yet, check them out live. I'm sure they will play...

  HE SAID NO - ALL THE BEST DAYS A new Eindhoven punk sensation. That's about all the info I found about this band. I don't know how they crossed my path but when I heared All The Best Days for the first time they drew my attention. You might have noticed on this blog that I am into a lot of different music styles and the songs I listen to are mostly influenced by the state of mind I'm in. Listening to (ska) punk music can give me energy to start my day when it comes from a band that "connects" with me. And I can feel a connection with He Said No. They stick with straight-forward, no nonsense punk and I like it. This video is not in the best quality but it seems that He Said No is not easy to find on Youtube. You can also find them on Spotify if you want to listen to them with a better sound. And in this version you also get a brass-section with it: ALL THE BEST DAYS (SPOTIFY) So, remember the name and go see them live. They are on my "wanna see" list f...
