Oakcity Jazzband Maaseik Belgium Newsletter January 2007
We celebrated our NewYears party with a rehearsal and a dinner at Lieven and Renate’s home. We're working at several new tunes, so we can start coming season refreshed and new. At the Festivals in Wallony and France we are going to surprise our audinece with more songs in their language and “oorsprong-herkomst?”!
Last year we received excellent videos, sent from different fans, and we are going to make a compilation out of this material. This compilation will be burned on DVD so we can send it together with our CD "Let's have a Party" to all who wish to have it. To be continued...
Like said before, 2007 is already looking ... continue reading

Concert review: Roots ‘n’ Rock, 12 januari 2007, Brussels
It was rather hard to find the place where the gig was, no sign or anything at the door, but we got there eventually. Thanx to Tom and Yve for the ride.
The place filled up nicely and after a while it was time for the first band: The Legendary Johnny Trash. For Koen, Mark, Beire & Angelo this was there first gig as this band, but that didn’t show at all. The band can best be described as the best of Koen’s career and add a few new songs.
On their play list: “Rockabilly Rumble”, “TrashJodel Intro”, “Here comes Johnny”, “The World's Most Happy Man”, “Cotton Pickin'”, “Rainy Night”, “White Trash Valentine”, “Ace Of Spades”, “The Devil In ... continue reading

Concert review: The Groovy Rednecks @ Den Bromfiets, 7/01/2007
Another Sunday afternoon in Bonheiden, the quiet little town was turned into Redneck town by these 5 guys from Hollywood USA. They play a kind of music that’s described by them as Beer-drenched roots-driven ass-grabbin'music, that'll put some dick in Dixie! And that’s exactly how it felt.
On their playlist: “Bartender’s daughter”, “White Ring”, “ Four Shots”, “ Drinkin Every night” , “Bring a Beer”, “ My wife got hit by a truck”, " Baby's Tab"
No pics this time.

Concert Review: El Rio Trio & Restless, Cruise Inn A'dam 30/12/2006
What a better way too close a good rockin' year then with a visit to Amsterdam too watch El Rio Trio & Restless play. For Restless it was their last European gig, if you wanna watch these guys play again, your only chance will be Las Vegas next year, after that they're putting an end to a magnificent band.
But back to last saturdaynight now, opening the concert: El Rio Trio.
These guys put up an excellent show and play some great Riobilly aswell, we're looking forward to welcome them at our festival this year. They played songs like: " Gunning for the dog", " So long baby goodbye", " Hot rod rockin", " Hip shakin baby ", " El gringo ", ... continue reading

Bandits 49 @ JH Tyl, Diest 16/12/2006
Saturday night it was time to check out Bandits 49 ( with our good friend Beireke). They played in JH Tijl, Diest. At 20u30 they started the show and what a show.

They played songs from The Stray Cats ( Rumble in Brighton & Stray Cat Strut), Carl Perkins ( Honey Don’t), Eddie Cochran ( Summertime Blues, 20th Flight Rock), and a reat version of Assembly Line ( Seatsniffers).
