Noorderslag 2007: the aftermath

Well folks, it’s a wrap. Noorderslag’s over before we could say wienerschnitzel (and believe me, that’s pretty fast). What a way to kick off a new year. We got to play in a record store, inside our beloved van & on stage in front of a whole lotta people, got many a free beverage and got to see many other bands as well, and we’ve got the pictures to prove it, courtesy of the Meister, Daniel Baggerman. Harm couldn’t make it because of his operation and poor Pino had himself a hefty case of the flu, so in the end we really had to pull ourselves together, but we had fun nonetheless. Noorderslag is a great festival, with loads of people and lots of stuff happening everywhere. There was also lots of press around, amongst others an MTV crew, so that’s something else (there’s gonna be a special featuring the latest bunch of Essent Award winners (including us) on MTV soon, I’ll keep you posted).
Afterwards we slept on one of the hotel boats with a bar that closed around 6 AM. Quite a weekend, I’ll tell ya! Big thanks goes out to everybody involved, and especially to Cary & Janne, Excelsior, Rock ‘n Roll highschool & its devoted streetteam, the Noorderslag crew and last but not least Arjen & Monique from Provinsje Fryslân! Thanks again!

Our little car concerts also marked the official launch of the Moody Street video, shot by his royal highness Johan Kramer. Check out the video below.

Tonight we’ll be at Burgerweeshuis in Deventer. See you there!
