A Night At The Town With THE BIG BAYOU BANDITS & CJ CHENIER and THE RED HOT LOUISIANA BAND
Well its not often we happen to see two bands like these in our beloved hometown of Bruges. And even with the THE BIG BAYOU BANDITS hailing from Bruges, it is only on a rare occasion that we happen to see them live in our town. That said it is even more rare to see them performing as opening act for that other great band CJ CHENIER and THE RED HOT LOUISIANA BAND.
The Big Bayou Bandits heated up the audience with some nice classics from the genre and even throw in some self-penned tunes. With a smaller set-list then usual the band choose for some classic Cajun tunes mixed with a handful of well known covers like ... continue reading

Rockin Bowl Antwerp 24/03/2007
Once again the Rockin Bowl has been organised by Sam & Rudy.
A great evening with bowling, film and 2 great bands. Again the place was packed and the evening went well past 2 o’clock, or was it 3 o’clock ( well it was the same time anyway).
First band on stage: The Rocka-t-Bones. This band is a rockabilly trio in the pure meaning of the word: no drums, just a slap beat from Selim. And what a beat did he make, he really knows how to keep a rhythm going. On Lead guitar Tom, playing some great raw guitar licks, and on rhythm guitar and vocals by Filip.
On their setlist:
“ High Sierra”, “ I done told you”, “ Ain’t it wrong”, ... continue reading

77 Eldeora, Ace Cafe Rumst 18/03/2007
Second time I saw this band, from San Fransisco, play Alt-Country and are based around the duo Maurice Tani ( guitar/vocals ) and Jenn Courtney. Just love their voices. The other members of the band are : Christopher Fisher ( Drums), Keith Bahjat ( Bass ), Steve Kallai ( Fiddle). It was the last show of their European tour, so they promised to give all that they have left, and they sure did keep up to this promise. An even better show then at Den Bromfiets. They audience really appreciated the show and called the band back for 3 songs.
Their setlist contains mostly self written songs and a few covers.
Songs like: “ Honky Tonkin”, “ Bad ... continue reading
