a try out in the basement of the new nighttown in ditto rotterdam ... starting with a short punk song where singer jamie, dressed with a bearskin coat, was roaring and looking like a big one on the hunt, the trigger for the six first rows to jump, mingle and even crowdsurf, almost hitting the low spots, it is a basement kiddoos ... but these six rows were a perfect measure for the newness of the songs, leaving them rather motionless ... these new ones were quite ok, i remembered one with a nice organ sound, one with a slower but irresistible groove and a fast & good punk/trash one, with extra guitar instead of keys ... and the older already 've prooved their status, and contrary to theirs it's not over yet, it was, rather quickly ... some days later i watched part of the weekend never dies, the (what is) radio soulwax documentary, funny to see james, klaxons' keyboardist (what a word), chase pigeons on trafalgar square, where during the gig he was pointing to flying ones quite often ...
