It’s been a while since i’ve been to a (pop/rock) concert, so last night I jumped on the occasion to go and see de Portables. I know one of their band members, and I was eager to hear what they’re doing (some music is freely accessible on their site, btw).
They played at the AB club, together with two other bands.

Random thoughts:

• veejays are a blessing for shy performers who don’t want to be the sole focus of the audience’s attention
• switching your mobile phone is not necessary, there’s no way it will disturb the solid wall of sound
• there are really good unknown bands out there, so why do they play such utter crap on the radios ? The only joy of many numbers is the idea that it will soon disappear to whatever special hell bad, soulless music goes to
• for other unknown bands, on the other hand, you do understand why they don’t get prime time. One of the bands did psychedelic music, in the sense that the musicians were stoned, and you probably had to be partaking of illegal substances yourself to appreciate it
• it’s hot when a lot of people get together under spotlights
• de Portables have a good and quirky sense of humor. Their set was a litte too short to my taste, and the public was too darn lazy to ask for encores
