zita swoon - motel mozaique - 130407

where do i start where do i begin ...

a year ago, same festival, same place, the rotterdam schouwburg, different setting, a band in a middle of the hall & people sitting all around ... first everyone keeps seated, but after a couple of songs, someone stands up, some more follow, stef says 'ja, er mag gedanst worden' and then the whole audience jumps up ... after that, it's dancing & experiencing with one big smile on the face ... crazy ... a band in a box is the concept & concert of 06 ... close to the people, songs in a funky jacket, voices of three angels ... i remember first listening to a song about a girls, it was jan 05, i was in the hot & sweaty santa cruz, bolivia, back then, glad i could listen to some belgian music, but it didn't impress me much ... maybe it was the heat, maybe the spanish atmosphere, or maybe it was just too early and i had to see these songs being performed live & like this, here they all fall into place and make you swing ... and listening to that album now brings back the big smile ...

this year, they climbed back up the stage, one angel less, but one hell of an album more ... in this big city the songs already breath that now typical zita swoon feeling ... live, it all sounds and looks great ... and they swing even more now, and you as well ... nice b-day concert, read more here (3voor12)
