Sins Antwerp 28/04/2007
The official afterparty of the Sins carshow, organised by the Scrapers, has once again proven to be a big succes.
Loads of people found the way to the basement of the Hotel that night. After paying the etrance fee and buying some coupons for drinks ( which i must say where qiute expensive). I made my way in too the airconditioned hall. Around 21u30 the First band took the stage: The Mad Men from Croatia. These guy played a very nice set, which was appreciated by the audience. If you like authentic 50s style Rock'n'Roll this one is somethin' for you. The boys tour all over europe and if you have the chance to see them live you will enjoy ... continue reading

77 El Deora
Is anybody in there?
Traffic was heavy on Valencia today and Phillip had a long time to study the
Betty Page look-alike in the metallic green '66 Dart in front. She certainly
had the look down. The hair. The make-up. The red and white polka dot
blouse. The "Follow me to certain death" bumper sticker.
Certain death. That certainly rang a bell. Phillip had a lot of money riding
on tonight's game and if lady luck wasn't smiling his way, he was certainly
going to be wishing he was already dead.
Give Satan a ride and pretty soon he wants to drive...

Vorselaar 21/04/2007
Saturday night nothing to do, so we headed towards Vorselaar for the 3de edition of the pub crawl. Once we got there i realized i forgot my camera at home. But rescue was already there, namely John & Lucy.
What we noticed immedialty was that there weren’t as many people ( read Cats and Kittens) as last year. A lot less Rockabilly bands aswell. The biggest disadvantage was that 3 of the 4 bands played at the same time. It’s my opinion that if they don’t change this next year, it will be a pubcrawl without quiffs and bangs.
The bands: The Buckshots ( loads of fun and good music as usual ) at café Toekomst. After that a quick peek at Taverne ... continue reading

Concert review: Billy Bacon & The Forbidden Pigs @ Den Bromfiets 15/04/2007
After wondering around drunk trough the Belgian countryside, I finally got home after Rockin Around Turnhout. So thanx to Franky for fulfilling my duty’s and writing the review for it.
So it was decided to spend another Sunday afternoon in a small town called Bonheiden.
We got there a bit early ( not like last year, were I only managed to see the last set) and saw the band transforming from a couple of guys in shirts and shorts, to a band dressed in full get up.
Well to be honest Billy kept shorts on, but they matched his costume.
These guys play a variation of styles ranging from Blues to Rock’n’ roll , Tex Mex, with songs ... continue reading

Concert Review: Rockin' Around Turnhout 2007
Dunno why Jack hasn't brought in his report yet (he's been missing since Rockin' Around Turnhout) but as we vowed a solemn pledge to inform all you Billy Boppers out there about all things happening in our neck of the woods, I thought I'd trow in my 2 bits worth of rock journalism. Do bear in mind however that I write this more than a week after the facts and without any notes as I lost them amidst the approximately 3 kilograms of flyers that piled out of my pockets after 2 nights of drinkin' and rockin'.
Saturday at the pré-party Lawen Stark & The Slide Boppers' authentic rockabilly and white rock must have been a discovery for most visitors ... continue reading

Johnny Cash' house burned down
The Tennessee home of late country icon Johnny Cash burned down on Tuesday (April 10) as renovations were under way for its new owner, Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived together in the three-story, wooden lakeside house in Hendersonville, Tennessee, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Nashville, from 1968 until they died within months of each other in 2003.
The Hendersonville Star News quoted a fire official as saying the blaze probably started when fumes from a wood preservative used in the renovations were ignited by a spark.
The house was featured in the Grammy-winning video "Hurt," in which ... continue reading
