Another year, another list. 2017 in 30 pictures. A list to talk about at gourmet-diner this evening, right?
Here goes!
30. Lohaus / Charlatan Ghent
“Man your guitar doesn’t sound that good”
– “I know, I should change”
29. Billie Leyers / Charlatan Ghent
She’s got soul sister!

I could only capture the beginning of his levitation.
15. Gabriel Rios / Zebrawoods Ghent
Standing in between the people, or isn’t he?
14. J. Bernardt / AB Brussels
The way he shows the ‘rabbit-ears’ give’s away he doesn’t play rock&roll music. And he doesn’t have to because he’s awesome.

The XXL crowd.
9. Perfume Genius / Pukkelpop Kiewit
I hope, with all the dancing, he’s also a deodorant genius.
8. Newmoon / AB Brussels
You can read on his face how intense a Newmoon show is. If you can, go see them in 2018!
7. El Yunque / AB Brussels
The guys from Weird El Yunquevich are the defenition of the word ‘energy’ when they’re on stage.
6. Strand Of Oaks / AB Brussels
Told you he’ll be back. The most adorable teddy rock&roll bear in the world!

F*ck the stage, make a circle for me.

Takk. I really couldn’t say more. Takk.

African dancing makes you happy, i’ve seen it with my own eyes.
