My Chemical Romance

Give me a gig!

• Posted by Rob (#1) on May 3, 2006 17:03 CEST

Quick update on Give It A Name: it was sweet! And how could it not be, with bands such as The Ataris, Silverstein, Panic! At The Disco, Angels & Airwaves, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Lostprophets. And many, many more. Said hi to Rachel, met wicked, sexy people like Caris, shopped at Camden Town.. yup, London still works for me.

Some recent gigs I might not have written about yet:

• 5/4: Versus The World (Melkweg, Amsterdam)

  This was a tad quiet and boring to be honest. Lousy crowd and the show, well, I've seen and heard better.

• 7/4: Zombina & The Skeletones (Morlock, The Hague)

  Zombina being an example of better. The sound was way, way, way too loud, but that didn't stop us from shaking our booties.

• 8/4: Cheap Thrills (Dynamo, Eindhoven)

  (Enters groupie mode.) Signed drumstick. Wiee! (Leaves groupie mode.)

• 14/4: Less Than Jake (Melkweg, Amsterdam)

  Always nice to have a band where you can skank, but it was a shame Din was ill.
  

• 21/4: Cheap Thrills/Dicemen (Latenstaan, Zoetermeer)

  Ah, Sweet Lake City. Sweet is was.. probably because I spent €25 on beer that was €1.25 a bottle. Hiccup!
  

So what's up next?

• 13/5: Cheap Thrills (Motorclub, Leiden)
• 19/5: Pinboys (Loppen, Copenhagen)
• 27/5: Bon Jovi (Goffertpark, Nijmegen)
• 29/5: Taking Back Sunday (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 6/6: Alexisonfire (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 9/6: Angels & Airwaves (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 16/6: Cheap Thrills (Waterfront, Rotterdam)
• 25/7: Flogging Molly (Mean Fiddler, London)

FYI: I'm off to London for Give It A Name festival, so I'll be on my UK number (see: contact me) until Monday afternoon. If any burglars are interested in this opportunity to wreck my house: don't bother, it's a mess already and you're likely to end up cleaning the place just to find out I own nothing worthful as I spend money on beer, women and gigs.. in London.

Oh.. and happy Queens Day to all Dutchies. Feel free to wreck the country, but please clean it up before Monday. Personally I'd rather be in London to see My Chemical Romance, Lostprophets, Panic! At The Disco, Silverstein, Taking Back Sunday and so on.. but that's taken care of.
