MAIN SQUARE FESTIVAL ‘08 - ARRAS 080707

Ollie — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:52:28 +0000

Sunday was a partial sunny day.. a lot of wind on the square and passing clouds. Sun.. no sun.. sun.. no sun.

Did miss vampire weekend (argh) . I was too busy with something else (like preparing stuff, drinking and trying to make my way to the frontstage). No Radiohead for me.. some of us were not allowed to take pictures (go figure why…) Anyway, HERE are some pictures !!

Been rather buys the latest weeks and Olivier is chasing my ass to do some updates
Anyhow gonna make that up to him ..
A few pics I would like to share with you all …

Tokio Police club at one of the nicest concert hall I’ve ever been in being “de rotonde” in Botanique Bxl.

Now a complete different style , one of my clients , being Bxl’s Hardcore Band Bloodshot
who performed at the last magasin 4 show ever . A very powerful show , oh and you can
already guess, below some pics …

THE DUKE SPIRIT @ BOTANIQUE 080527

Ollie — Thu, 29 May 2008 06:32:36 +0000

Back to the Witloofbar.. argh I thought.. not really !! This time I had the right for a correct lighshow (thanks to the light guy by the way). Not too much back light and some nice front light going from white to red and blue.

About the gig itself, I was interested to see them after what I heard on myspace and I was not deceived, ‘au contraire’ I left the room with a big smile on my face. A group to follow !!

About Liela Moss, she moves quite a lot and not easy to get a focus on her !!

The pictures are HERE

ARSENAL - PETE PHILLY @ DEPOT 080516

Ollie — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:33:00 +0000

I can forget all the things I heard about Arsenal before. Things I that were said at works 2 years ago. The the ban was not so good playing live. WRONG !!! THEY ARE GREAT !!! I had a really good time there. Didn’t shoot that much, I wanted to enjoy the show as much as possible. So, after 4 songs, I did stop …

2 bad things (or maybe 3):

Too warm in the concert hall (Never heard of airco ?? )
Crappy sounds sometimes (too much echo or no voice.. )
Ok.. the third.. a lot of dust..

The support band was also pretty good even if the crowd was not really in it (hip hop). Quiet different from the usual hip hop. I did like the cello touch.

Anyway, check the gallery HERE for some pictures

Jamie Lidell @ Botanique Brussels -20080407

Kemizz — Thu, 08 May 2008 22:20:19 +0000

Spent an evening in the Botanique where Mr Jamie Lidell and Gotye played as support.
One of the best concerts I attended the last few year , period !
Great atmosphere , Jamie reaching out to the audience every 10 seconds..
He even got security to sing …
The complete gallery , including support online asap …
(sorry guys , I’m suffering a huge backlog )

Here already a shot from the man himself at work

And another one from Support Act Gotye, also on Warp Recordings …

PACROCK ‘08 - PONT-A-CELLES 080503

Ollie — Tue, 06 May 2008 11:14:14 +0000

I swore to Robin that I would not take all my CF’s with me, to avoid coming back with a lot of giga’s of photos !!

Finally I just took my 8 and 4 giga’s card (and of course my Vosonic). Wanted to do 11 groups, only did 10 !! The hall was already full when I wanted to get in for “Me and My Machines”. So, I told myself: Forget It ! Too Bad ! Hungry?? Go eat something !! A 3€ hamburger full of ketchup.. Never eat such a meal with your camera around your neck.

About the festival ground itself, still as I remember it from last year: Family first !! I like that aspect of this festival. Even if it was bigger than last year !

Revelation (for me) of the day: The Diplomat !! I was really amazed by their performance !! Hope to see them again soon !!

Some pictures of Arid, The Diplomat and Hollywood Porn Stars HERE !!!

Stay Tuned for more pics this week !!

Update: Triggerfinger, Cecilia::eyes, Monsoon and Girls in Hawaii added

Update: All groups done.. check the whole gallery HERE
