Horrific Accident In Ghent at the Gentse Feesten!!!

We went to Ghent. It was a blast. Ten full days of music, staying up til 6am, beatboxing, playing at a strange circus for kids and families, playing on a VERY busy street, selling ten CDs in our first outing; playing in front of the SQUEEZE, jamming with friends, playing at "de oase gentoise" (the gent oasis - a bar). Partying til all hours all over the city of Ghent, Belgium. Kids/adults of all ages, drunk, sober, filling the streets. At some points you couldn't budge an inch because the massive crowds were packed up in the "Vlasmarkt". There was an incredible street market with really groovy clothes for dirt cheap...

I also demolished my keyboard during an ecstatic performance in the streets, in front of 100 people or so... it was dramatic... very. A kind dude helped me. He spoke German. I spoke English. We worked together.

All in all, we made over 120 euros a day for only 2 or three half-hour performances, sold plenty of CDs, made new fans and friends and fell in love with the city, all over again.

Watch the video about it (above). I might have also mentioned you in the credits, if you were there.

I also recorded a few songs in Ghent with my guitar. Here is one called "Feet Aren't Sexy".

Take a look.



As for us, we are off to Sweden tomorrow. Hamburg first, to talk to lovely Claus from Yamaha about some shiznit, then off to Sweden for a show. Then we dip back down into Copenhagen to play and record for two months, with a few small breaks to do shows. I'm excited to have some time to ourselves.

Love
