@Juergen I can't seem to find it online anymore, but I just found it in my own mailbox (the advantages of sending stuff to yourself, just in case…). So that was almost 9 years ago, I'd discovered MP a few months earlier and I had (next to) no experience with interviews or journalism (and almost no time to prepare), so bear with me…
Also not in my mother tongue…It was an interview for the student magazine of Universitetet i Tromso, called Utropia. I think the Word version I have is about 95% of what eventually appeared in the magazine.
I also wrote a 'review' of their 2013 Driv gig, but can't seem to find it anywhere, not online, not in my mailbox…
Where can I send the interview to?
Cool! Love these kinds of lists…

Different songs played: 98
Song played most often: Ship of Fools & The Cuckoo (7)
Song anticipated most: (as in 'not seen live yet'?) The Golden Core, W.B.A.T. and Gullible's Travails
Specials:
– Seeing them in the high north of Norway (Tromso) and interviewing them just before the show (interview was agreed on the day before, while I requested it 3 or 4 weeks earlier, hadn't heard anything from them or the management in-between, so the preparation was quite stressy)
– The entire Botanique (Brussels) concert in 2017 (Un chien d'espace! The wheel! A pacific sonata! Here be monsters! Ship of fools! Vortex surfer! And a couple more…)
– Feedtime – Utrecht 2017
– Not having any memory of the Krach am Bach show in 2017 (was I there?)
– Seeing my girlfriend being in a total trance and state of 'disbelief' at the Nijmegen show in 2018 (her first MP gig)
– Driving 1000 km for the (free!) 2 Days Prog + 1 festival where they played in 2017
– A crowd of around 40 people in Arlon this week, the smallest audience I've ever experienced at a MP show
2h45 show, enjoyed it a lot. My neck will testify. The Starhammer jam was mental. I think Bent and Snah's voices were in great shape.
Sweet Jesus, almost 3,5 hours! I am hoping they're not too dead now for the Arlon show tonight (final show of the tour!). The only one I was able to witness during this tour. What an insane beast of a setlist…
If anyone wants to meet up at the venue tonight, I'll be wearing a white YOB or Cult of Luna shirt, haven't decided yet hehe.
@johnny I'll be in Arlon with a friend. An almost 4-hour train ride from Ghent haha! It's a working day and I'll spend half of it on a train crossing my entire country. Doesn't even sound that bad
Maybe in that week between 11 and 18 May they've planned a couple of days of recording in that French studio they've been to earlier? Potential Italian tour dates left aside…
Wow I used to go skiing there all my life until I was like 20! Never knew about this. Rocklette haha, great name! More like a concert series, from 6 to 14 August. What a crazy line-up… MP, Orange Goblin, King Buffalo, King Gizzard & TLW, All Them Witches, Greenleaf, Wo Fat, Minami Deutsch, Graveyard, Valley of the Sun, Ty Segall,… Jesus
Adding Tamikrest to this type of music (tishoumaren according to RYM), especially the album 'Chatma'. Opening track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19hbkw0Xdps or https://tamikrest.bandcamp.com/track/tisnant-an-chatma
Relaxed psych/blues/stonerish vibe
I was hoping for Belgium, but a bit more… central haha! :roll:
Never thought I'd find my country too big… Oh well, there's still the Leuven party in September or maybe another date in May/June!
Just received a Bandcamp notification about this release: https://motorpsychotributeseries.bandcamp.com/track/waiting-for-the-one
There are a couple more though. Thinking of 'The Daily Doug', 'Key of Geebz' and 'Lost in Vegas'. They all seem very genuine to me and I enjoy (most of) their videos a lot. Geebz and especially Doug are very adept and capable (great musical knowledge). No MP in there so far, as far as I know, but a good dose of rock, metal & prog generally. But this is getting a bit off-topic
07.05.2022 – NL Nijmegen, Sonic Whip @ Doornroosje (Festival)
19.05.2022 – CH Winterthur @ Salzhaus
23.09.2022 BE Leuven, Het Depot
I want to buy tickets for Sonic Whip but can't find anything on who plays when. Friday ticket is 30 euro, Saturday ticket 47, so it seems most bands will play on Saturday… Does anyone know? Earthless is on Saturday, that's all I know.
