Booking Office of Cruise Inn
Maurits, the bands booking agent of rock'n'roll cafe Cruise Inn (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), will be moving to the United States soon. that is why he can not do the band bookings for the Cruise Inn any longer.
As the most trustful and social person to go on with this hard work was chosen Tony Everaert ( Drive-Inn Barn festival).
At the moment he is in a transition period and until the end of September Maurits and Tony will be doing this together.
"The Cruise Inn has been in my life since 1982 and I've always enjoyed doing the works I've done for many years together with all my other rockin' friends who kept the institution ... continue reading

Antwerp Vintage Reunion part 2 2010.
For the second time in a row the VCCB organized the Antwerp Vintage Reunion at Fort 2 in Wommelgem and it has grown a lot since last year. The fortress was built in 1859 and completed in 1864. And was part of the Brialmontbelt around Antwerp of a defense for the city against foreign forces. Unfortunately by 1880, with the invention of better artillery the fortresses became useless. That concludes our little history lesson of today.
So luckily the fort has been around since then, cause it’s an excellent place to organizes festivals like this. Big parking spaces, already built stage ( loading platform). No neighbors in the direct vicinity.

Pancreatic cancer doesn't scare Charlie Louvin
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Charlie Louvin can remember a time when a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer — or any cancer, really — was a sure death sentence.
The 83-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer said his recent diagnosis was upsetting at first, but he has hopes modern medicine will help him beat cancer — or at least push it off for a while.
"They can do wonders," Louvin said this week. "And what I need sorely is a miracle, and I believe they're still around. There's miracles that happen in this country every day and I'm wide open for one."
Louvin seems as vital as ever. He has two albums set for release over the next few ... continue reading

Sjock 2010
"Your rock & roll highlight of the year" is how the Sjock Festival decribes itself,
and there's some truth in that. Amazing how they pull it off : a main stage where
all kinda rock and metal bands play, plus a tent in which you get rockabilly, surf
and rockin' roots, and it all works out fine. Bizarre, huh ? I suppose they have the
experience : it's the 35th annual Sjock Festival, though it started out as a simple
rock festival and only grew into the rock + rockabilly thing over the last decade or
so. There's no way we can sum up three days in a few lines, but let me try to give
you some impressions.
Friday ... continue reading

Ace Rumble 1st of may 2010
Ok, a bit overdue, but still gonne try to give you’ll a report of this festival.
For the 5th time already the Ace Cafe was organizing the Ace Rumble Festival, probably one of the First in a long row of summer festivals.
Like always the festival is held on the parking almost directly in front of the pub. This year the partition of the festival ground was a bit different, since the socialist party had their holiday ion the same day and square, a small part has been taken in with a children’s play area.
So first band were Wild Deuces, which is my band, we had a good time on stage, too bad the PA guy wasn’t really the best around, one ... continue reading

Little Kim & the Alley Apple 3: debut album “Riding the Rails” out now.
Wonderful news, boys and girls. A couple of weeks ago, a nice guy came around with the first batch of our debut album “Riding the Rails”. We’re looking at it as we speak and we’re delighted! We worked hard on it … and it sounds just the way we hoped it would sound. Most of the songs are Little Kim originals, performed according to our old family recipe :) a mixture of western swing, hot club and old fashioned hot jazz and cool swing. You can listen to some songs on our myspace: www.myspace.com/littlekimthealleyapple3.
