Concert review: Rockin at the Drive-in Barn, Oost-Eeklo.
After the BBBBBQ on Saturday ( Thanx for the invite Guy and all the good cares). We arrived at the Barn a bit late and with a slight hangover.

Concert review: Sjock weekend 8 & 9 Juli 2006
Man what a weekend this was.
For us it started at Saturday.
We arrived at 18u00, so a half hour later we ( and everyone else) were asked to leave the festival site.
After a round trip to the entrance we were back again.
Opening at the titty twister: The Stacy Cats, playing straight up rockabilly. They got the job to set the mood for the rest of the evening, and it worked well. Playing a nice version of "Jungle Rock" and "Mercy".
After them Catslappin Chrissy, slowing down the paste a little bit but great gig. Then 45 RPM, or as we called it that evening, the main reason to join the navy. These German cats and kitten got the ... continue reading
