Upcoming Gig: Fall Out Boy @ Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam

Hi everyone!

On March 8th, I will be seeing Fall Out Boy live in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. I'm so so so happy and excited I'm going!!! From what I've seen and heard, the Save Rock And Roll tour is fantasticly spectacular, and FOB is a great band live. This will be my first time seeing them live, all other times have been on the television or YouTube, so seeing them from this close will be awesome.

Of course I'll document the whole gig here, and I really hope I'll be able to make some pictures with and talk to the band. I also wonder when the support act will be announced? Fingers crossed it's Panic! at the Disco.

You can buy your own tickets and find a concert near you through their website: falloutboy.com

Are you going?

Concert Review: Tim Knol @ Biebelot, 25/11/2011

Tim Knol and band

Last Friday I went to a concert from Tim Knol in Biebelot (that's in Dordrecht). Here is my review, this time with some pictures too.

I went to this gig mith my Mum and my little sister. We arrived when the support act, Gerhardt, had been playing for a while already (we had to come to school for something, nevermind) so I don't actually know how they played. From what I've seen and heard I can say that however it sounded very good, it just wasn't really my taste. But as I said, I only heard four or five songs so I don't really know.

Gerhardt

For some reason, building up the stage for Tim Knol and his band only took about 15 minutes, which is the fastest I've seen so far. Maybe because Gerhardt were two guys with guitars, and the stuff Tim Knol and his band needed where already on stage or something. At least we didn't have to wait too long.

When Tim Knol and his band (okay I'll just introduce his band so I don't have to say 'and his band' all the time: Tim Knol: vocals, guitar - Matthijs van Duijvenbode: keys, vocals, percussion - Jeroen Overman: bass, vocals - Kees Schaper: drums, vocals, percussion - Anne Soldaat: guitar, vocals) stepped on stage, the crowd started screaming and shouting like hell (Biebelot isn't very big, but it sounded like we were in Wembley or something) and you felt everyone was exited. Throughout the concert everyone was dancing, singing, and people who couldn't sing were shouting, there was just this relaxed vibe the whole time. The band played some songs from their first album that all sounded familiar to me, altrough there where only three songs that I can actually sing along (Sam, this song that just goes like 'In this shallow water, we can't drown' but I don't know the name of the song, and When I Got Here). Tim Knol's second album is Days, but I don't actually know any songs from the new album yet. They sounded really good though.

Another picture of Tim and band

There where some funny moments, like when Tim Knol asked some guy in the audience if he had been to one if his shows in Germany and some guy in the back goes like 'COME ON TIM, GO ON!' and Tim Knol just goes like 'Hold on, I'm just having a conversation with this guy over here!' or when Tim Knol told that their drummer, Kees Schaper, once really had to go to the bathroom in the middle of a gig and just walked away, and I guess the same guy shouted 'Come on Kees, you can go now! We don't mind, just hurry up' or at least something like that. And of course everyone just randomly shouted 'Tim Tim Tim Knol Knol Knol Tim Tim Tim Knol Knol Knol' every now and then.

I am very bad at remembering setlists, but I do remember that Sam was the last song they played, and the whole crowd just sang along and this guy in front of us started danging really weird, it was fun.

This is actually my wall

When the gig ended we walked to the merchandise stand as quickly as possible because Tim was going to sign posters. It was really funny because my sister and I were one of the first people in line and two girls in from of us wanted to take a picture and Tim tells my sister and I 'Hold on. Just one more picture and I'll be with you' and we were just like 'Yeah, fine.'. Tim looked a bit stressed. It was really funny because my hands got really shakey when he signed my poster and I wanted to say someting like 'cool, thanks dude' but the only thing I could actually say was 'Thank you'.

Close-up

I don't actually have anything to say anymore. All pictures in this post are made by my Mum, except for the pictures of my poster and shirt, those are made by me. Hope you liked my review!

New date for the Black Veil Brides concert in the Melkweg, A'dam

Hi everyone,

I just got an e-mail from the Melkweg. The new date is March 23rd, 2012.
It's very far away form now, but I'm happy they haven't cancelled the gig completely though.
On the other side, I have enough time to buy myself a BVB t-shirt now.

Upcoming Gig: Black Veil Brides @ Melkweg, Amsterdam

Hello guys,

That's right. I'm going to see BVB next week! I am soooo exited. My little sister and my Mum are also going. I'm probably going to ask a friend of mine to come too because we have one extra ticket. My Dad wanted to go with us, until he heard Black Veil Brides was screamo and metal. Now he keeps talking about 'that heavy metal concert' and we just ignore him.

I have one question. Is there a specific dress code for BVB concerts? I also don't have a BVB bandshirt. What bandshirts can I wear to the gig? I have bandshirts form Green Day, Muse, Metallica, My Chemcial Romance and Nightwish. And one from the Jonas Brothers but... er.... Pretend like I didn't just said that.

Review: Hangover Hero + My Own Army @ Baroeg, 07/10/2011

It's a while ago, but on October 7th I went to a Hangover Hero concert, with My Own Army as support act. This is my review, finally.

My Dad, Mom, little sister and I arrived at Baroeg about one hour before the show. We where quite late -usually when we go to a concert we are in the queue two or three hours before the show- but there weren't much people yet. Ten or fifteen maybe, including us.

Baroeg is a very small venue, with a small bar-like part and a part where the bands play. It is really cute through.
When the doors opened we stayed in the bar-part (I don't know how to call it otherwise) for a while before we walked into the actual part where the band played (don't know another name for this either). Hangover Hero's support act was My Own Army, a band we had never heard of before. People were putting instruments on the stage and stuff (later it turned out to be My Own Army themselves) and we just stood there and waited.

This is My Own Army

My Own Army is awesome! My siter and I both liked their music alot as soon as they started playing. It's a Dutch band, and Dutch bands are usually weird and ugly, but these guys are epic. The song I liked the most was 'Secondhand Mother'. At some point My Own Army played some song from Pink Floyd (How do you even spell that? And nope, I don't know the name of the song). We didn't know it was Pink Floyd until my Dad told us afterwards. But, well, anyways, my sister and I stood at the front and suddenly the singer jumped of the stage right next to us (like, we could have hugged him if we wanted to) and my sister and I where like 'wtf' at first but then we just watched him headbanging and stuff and we went like 'zomg zomg zomg'. I think he found us funny. Then all of a sudden he held his microphone in front of my sisters face and expected her to sing along but we didn't know the lyrics so we just giggled and stepped back. He laughed really hard so I don't think he really cared.
After the show, my Mum brought their CD (they called it an EP, I don't get the diffrence but ok) for 5 euros and got the autographs of all four band members because my sister and I didn't dare to ask (thanks Mum!).
It was really cool. My Own Army rocks.

Then we waited for Hangover Hero. And this old guy wearing a bandshirt from Quarterpast, an album from Mayan I have on my iTunes (lol) started talking to us and we drank a glass of coke. And my sister stole My Own Army's setlist and hanged it on her wall.

Hangover Hero is also awesome! They have this really cool and unique sound. They reminded me of the Foo Fighters a bit. There are no proper pictures of Hangover Hero on Google so sorry, no Hangover Hero pic this time.
Hangover Hero is an unknown band, but it was really great to see dedicated fans singing along all songs and for one moment being the happiest persons alive. Really special.

At the end of the concert we just went home and went to bed immediately. I was soooo tired.

Hangover hero is great. It'd be great to see them live again, and I also want to see My Own Army again.
I hope this review was interesting
