MP returning to Eindhoven!
After moving to Eindhoven in 2010 I finally get my third hometown show
The whole Bridge Guitar Festival is recommended btw. Lots of great (and mostly free) bands to watch throughout the city!
Child of the Future on CD and digital formats?! What is this heresy?!
Very curious about the soundtrack tho!
I feel you Nicoot. Took me 20+ shows and some near misses as well to finally hear GT in Nijmegen last week. Keep the faith!
Thanks!
first time no Balthazaar….i’d trade Dream Hone or Tower for itThe Tower was amazing as always yesterday, so that one can stay! Still no click with Neotzar after seeing it live, so that one can be swapped for Balthazaar ; ) Fun show, with a lot of highlights and a nice little surprise in the form of My Best Friend. Olaf was great on most songs I’d say (still weird to see an old guy on drums).
Oh wow that’s some incredible ugly artwork on that 10″. Would like to hear Acid Mother Temple perform Hogwash, but I’m gonna skip the vinyl!
Indeed, it was The Other Fool EP: “The Motorpsycho- “tattoo-logo” was designed by Theo Jak a long time ago. Credit is way overdue, but better late than never. (Get in touch, man!)”
I remember reading a shoutout to the original designer of the logo on the backside of one of the 10″ EPs if I’m correct?
Aah too bad, again no Friday/Saturday-night show at Vera. Still looking for an excuse to spend a weekend in Groningen.
Doornroosje and Paradiso will have to do then!
Ooh I like this one a lot! My favourite “short” song of them in years I think. Always like it when they switch up the vocalist for the chorus.
Must be Vortex Surfer right? Cool song tho!
Anyway, some amazing new music then. Blood Incantation just released their latest death metal / space rock record and it’s amazing! Just two long songs this time, almost like NOX on steroids.
Blood Incantations – Absolute ElsewhereLot of info on the album in their shop:
There are songs that makes friends with anyone and do great at parties, doling out compliments left, right and center. And then there are those songs that just don’t seem to fit in, songs that knock over glasses and makes awkward comments to the host as they stubbornly refuse to adapt and adjust to whatever larger setting you needed them to work in; these are songs that seemingly insist on remaining outside your control no matter how many stylistic or production tricks you try to pull.
Usually, for a band such songs eventually fall by the wayside, are left behind or butchered for parts a few years later. But sometimes quite a few of them show up at the door, at the same time, unruly & ready to shake things up a bit. Sometimes there is trouble.
These are the songs that makes up Neigh!! Not merely a companion piece to last year’s Yay!, not a collection of B-sides or simply leftovers from that same period, but a reaction, a party for those not invited to parties, consisting of troubled, sometimes weirdly clothed outcasts that refused to go away and instead languidly found their place in the post-plague world while the tunes from Yay! were being pampered and sing-along’ed by band and fans alike.
So, then, it’s not a Nay! These songs care not that the band didn’t notice their potential at first. They know who they are, what their purpose is and what they’re capable of. They proudly wear their ‘lo-fi/ no-fi’ and ‘recorded in rehearsal room/home studio’ as embroidered patches on jackets you only now realize are pretty cool. Granted, they had a tough upbringing, some of them come from broken homes and they learned the hard way to ‘Turn a frown upside down’, but here they are, together + strong!
Neigh!! is an album of ‘songs that won’t fit on an album’ – the non-concept of all concepts – a home for strays and runaways perhaps, but more importantly a bunch of tunes Motorpsycho are finally happy with, that found their purpose and now have a home: songs that the band are proud to finally being able to present to the world.
