Concert review Rockin around Turnhout ( Sunday 16 April 2006).
We started the evening at The Pitstop.
Playing there were the Slapbacks, to regular visitors of this site a name that sounds familiar.
During the first set they played songs like:

Concert review: The Stacy Cats – 8 April 2006 – Tiki’s Gierle
Last Saturday at Tiki’s: The Stacy Cats; I must say the turn up was a bit disappointing at first, but the atmosphere was great. But good live music and a rockin Dj what else does one need?
The Stacy Cats: Renzo ( guitar and vocals), Eric ( Double bass), Marco ( Drums) play straight up rockabilly; the first set was a bit more relaxed then the second. But these guys play and shift between styles, like a truck driver shifting up and down without messing up the gearbox. Marco beats them drums like his live depends on it.
They opened with “Washmachine boogie”, “ Take me back”, “Lonesome Train”, “ Texas boogie”, “Slippin in” and ... continue reading

Concert Review: Mischief Lava Lounge 25 March 2006
I know a bit late.
First time in the Lava Lounge, but not the first time we saw the band.
Mischief this time. Daze ( guitar and vocals), Richard ( drums, vocals) and Pat ( double bass ( great cutaway), vocals) entertained the crowd as usual. Always great to see these guys on stage. The only thing that is a bit difficult with these guys is to understand the things they say between songs. ( sorry guys but can’t understand your dialect).
They played great songs, like” I gotta know”,” Train kept on Rollin”,” Slow Down”, “No. 1”, “ Koko Joe” and a special for Lucy: “Hello Lucy ( Blues)”. 2 sets this time, with a 30 min. break between ... continue reading
