Ciao Italia! Ciao Milano e Firenze!

2010-06-24T03:26:00.000-07:00

Exact one month from now i'm on my way to Italia.
First time EVER in Italia!
The reason of going to Italia is Music, and to meet Aurora again.
It's been a 1.5 year since the last AND first time we've met.
I got to meet Aurora thanx to this one musician, Mike Patton.
It's also his music that's going to bring us together again, in Italia.
Many people know i would love to visit Italia and many think that is the reason I choose to see Mondo Cane there, but that is not really the reason of why i'm going there, the main reason is to meet Aurii again.
We want to meet up for sooo long and since Mondo Cane will play in Italia i knew Aurii would be there, so, Italia, here i come!

We will be attending the Italian Mondo Cane tourdates, Milano and Firenze.
*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*Kiko*

4/5 days of Italia, can't be that bad, huh?
Aurii did warn me for the extreme heat of Italia. I hope my Dutch ass can handle it....

Mike Patton @ Holland Festival, Amsterdam.

Laborintus II:

Friday 18 june, Mike Patton flew specialy over to Amsterdam to perform at Holland Festival.He was going to perform Laborintus II with Nederlands Kamerkoor and later on a Jazz Improv set with Ictus Ensemble musicians.Laborintus II is a music piece by Luciano Berio.

If you went to this show without hearing Laborintus II before, you might got confused a bit due the fact many things we're going on on stage.But you wouldnt expect anything else if you attended the show as a Patton Fan.I listened to Laborintus II before and was in love with the female voices from the start.To give you an idea what the performance was like:Laborintus II is like a Dramatic Opera but without the actors.When there are no actors and your Italian is total crap (there were things said in english) your imagination and emotions could go anywhere from dramatic to "wild".

Mike Patton's part of this performance was a "story teller".he started by talking "slow" somewhere during the show he started shouting in his magephone. He ended his part by talking towards the audience in a "they lived happily ever after" feeling but i'm pretty sure that was not what he was saying.

After this performance (wich i think was about 40/45 min) there was a 15 min break, free drinks.After the break Patton would return to the stage doing something he probably enjoys doing the most, jazz improv with sound effects.He performed together with I.C.P musicians: Han Bemmink (drummer), Ab Baars (Horns), Guus Jansen (piano), Mary Oliver (violin) and Michael Moore (Horns).

The Vita Nouva Sessions:
This set was crazy, each musician was playing his own music part.One of the funny moments during this set was when Han Bemmink was "spanking" his drumset with a towel, to me, he was the man of the show.Encore came unexpected due that the the violin player, Mary Oliver, walked out too early on stage and the crowed cheered for more so she made signs to the guys to come back out, and they did.Mary started with a "solo" and after a while she looked at the guys to see what they were doing and they laughed and all joined in.I think this set lasted for about 45 min.

The night ended with a dj set, music inspired by Italian B movies.
On the screen you could watch a movie, no idea what the movie was called.The crowed was "mixed" you had people attending 'cause they we're familiar with Berio's music and than you had the Patton Fans.Patton fans we're not only from Holland, some flew over from wherever in Europe.

Was nice too see Virginia, Carole, Emil and Christine again. Have not seen Virginia and Christine since ATP 2008. And the last time I met Emil and Carole was @ Rock en Seine, Paris (2009).

Faith No More Berlin 16-06-09

2009-08-24T01:14:00.000-07:00

Dus, after seeing Faith No More for the first time i just could not believe i saw them LIVE....and still can't.
After the Berlin show it just seemed so "unreal" that i just watched one of my all time favourite bands LIVE! Of course i've seen a fuckload of bootlegs but to actually see them live LIVE..... nope, never thought that would happen.

First time i heard about the reunion was when aurora contacted me and she was not able to comunicate and she was just so hyper i got hyper too in a aggressive way like TELL ME!!!!! and she just sended me the link to rock a rolla website and there was just posted that Faith No More was going to reunite for a series of dates. I started screaming like crazy, CRAZY crazy.

Then Tourdates started popping up and one of the first few solo shows was in Berlin and since Brixton was sold out i thought "ok, im gonna make an exeption for FNM..... Im going to Germany"

When my ticket arrived i was just like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! IM HOLDING A FAITH NO MORE TICKET!!! WICH ISNT A VINTAGE ONE SOME MUNKFUCK POSTED ON EBAY!!
I dont even want to mention it brought tears to my eyes..... oh i just did.

June 16 2009 was FAITH NO MORE DAY, I was going to meet up with people in Berlin who i know for years virtualy but never actually met in 3D.
After meeting them i was highly dissapointed, JUST KIDDING!

At the venue i met some other crazy nice people from all over Europe, even a girl that flew over from Russia with NO ticket. We told her that FNM was going to play in Russia a week later wich she simply replied " I have vacation now"..... AWESUMO!

When the gates went open we all ran like crazy motherfuckers and fuck yeah i got front row! I met Paulina from Poland (nice girl) and we just started talking as if we knew eachother for years, crazy!

Opening acts were Farmers Maret and ZU! mighty Mickey it was GOOD!

THEN FAITH NO MORE, when reunited started the tears were fighting their way out and fuck a duck Patton's voice made it even worse! I was crying like a baby.
When The Real Thing started me and Paulina looked at eachoter and both said "ohhhh SHIT!!" and what happened after that, i cant really remember since the show totally sucked me up and what was happening around didnt matter at that time.

Berlin Setlist:

Reunited
The Real Thing
From Out Of Nowhere
Land Of Sunshine

"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

2009-03-02T16:02:00.000-08:00

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

Never Say Never

2009-02-26T09:56:00.000-08:00

Sometimes you discover things and totally fall in love with it.
In this case, I heard something and fell head over heels for it.
Its a book filled with craziness, distant friendships and most of all it is something that makes you feel good.
This book has many chapters but the two chapters that made their impact a decade ago were already finished for my generation. And they made it a fact that they will never continue on writing in those chapters.

So i laid down my tomahawk and realised i have to face the fact that i will never experience seeing or hearing this live.
People got disgusting and started spreading their one liners such as "They are coming back!" for the last 5 years.
But the thing that was said in 2008 was something everybody was paying attention to, it was the so called "real deal", a warm up for the big news.

Many, many, many, many, many people actually started to believe it, sources to the so called "my musical messiah" even said: "they are talking about it"
Which led to confusing times, one said no other said yes. Your own mind was ready for a "calm the fuck down" moment. 'Cause somewhere inside your head you knew this time it might happen.

I've met the main character of the book a few times but always felt too chicken to ask. This is the kind of person that would definitely point and laugh at you.
So i decided to live in a "patience for a statement" moment.
3 months of crazy rumours "they will come here, they will come there".
Will this chapter that was closed many years ago be opened up again and will they continue on writing something new to add to their story and i could sorta be part of it by saying "yeah! i remember that! i was there!!" NO!, it was done, finished, they closed this chapter years ago.

And then there was silence, no words from anybody, Was it again some silly rumour or was it what they call here in Holland "A silence before the storm"???
I gave up talking about it, once more, it was ended over 10 years ago. How could i be so stupid and get carried away for a moment thinking it would happen?? I don't even want it to happen but would love to see it.
I stepped out of the twilight zone and continue on enjoying other chapters of the big book.

But on 24 February 2009 something was released, what - is - it? its it! :|
Something unexpected was announced, the chapter many closed years ago in which the "faith" was gone, will be opened up while I'm alive? while I'm enjoying other chapters of the book? what i was convinced of it would never happen again?
Like they say: Never Say Never.

One of my all time favourite bands: faith No More, is going to reunite this year.
This is something i never thought would happen, i can say this over and over, i just can't believe it.
Today, Thursday 26 February 2009 i read their statement on their website, its for real, it is really going to happen.
It was something i was against, i didn't want it to happen. Now i don't know wetter i want to laugh, scream or cry of happiness.
Its crazy what music can do to you.

Europa, per favore.. DAI!!!!

Alcuni vecchi brani Italiani

2009-01-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

First time i heard Italian music I LIKE was during the Mondo Cane show in Holland.
Songs like: "L'Urlo Negro and Storia D'Amore are a MUST for your ears.
Now a few months later im having an Italian music flu,

Only shit songs i knew were from a girl named Laura pausini, CRAP!
And some dudes named Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bochelli but that really didnt gave me a "whuuuhuuuu" moment.
But then some strange Italian fregna introduced me to the "original" Mondo Cane songs and god DAMN they are too good! Must admid Patton did a wonderfull job by covering the old tunes.
Artist such as: I Blackmen, Adriano Celentano and EdoaRRRRRRRRRdo Vianello already convinced me. Happy Italian tunes haha. This is the point where people with the age of 50 come in: "music was way better back in the day" ok, now after hearing these tunes i must admid its way better than the fucking Beatles, WHO?!
Even tho my Italian is shit at this moment i cant help it singing along BUT with the words i make up ;) aight!
Thanx to Aurora Demasi i discoverd some "new artist"
just check out this song, trust me you will find yourself go "RRRRRRRRRRR" the whole fucking time:

Edoardo Vianello - Abbronzatissima(1963)

L'Urlo Negro Original (1967)

And the Italian Elvis Presley: Adriano Celentano - 24000 baci (1961)

Madlove

2009-01-05T08:30:00.000-08:00

What the world needs is some madfuckin'love!

and Trevor Dunn created it.
Madlove is a new band by Trevor Dunn, maybe this time people will notice Trevor Dunn's music. The music he is making these days with all kinds of bands or in the past is not for everybody's ears. But thats not a "bad" thing 'cause the music scene would be very boring if everybody makes the same shit.

Back to Madlove.
Madlove made its debut in London, consider it a "warm up" gig for the ATP, The Nightmare Before Christmas Festival in Minehead, UK.

Me and my friend Bir checked out a bit of the soundcheck but we kinda felt "bad" for being there so we left after a few moments of "shall we go now?"
We also wanted it to be a "surprise" for our ears later that evening.
So after enjoying Big Business it was time to rush to the other stage to see Madlove.

"wherever you go, go front row" and we stood front row as 3 happy bambina's.
(Holanda - Argentina/ Norway - Italia)
Madlove is like the new Motley Crue, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding.
anyways memebers of the band: Sunny Kim (vocals) Trevor Dunn (bass, vocals) Ches Smith (drums) Hilmar Jensson (guitar) Erik Deutsch (keyboards)

From what i've heard that evening Madlove sounds kicking in the poohole! AWESUMO!
But i have to admid, i found Sunny Kim's voice a bit "boring" for a band like madlove.
Yeah so uhh thats it,
