Yet another Monday, unfortunately my vacation is over and I need to get back to work. At least I feel a bit rested, so getting back with new energy. First of all happy new year to all of you! Do you have any goals for 2023? My plan is to post more frequently here on this blog. Also Wednesday I will be introducing a new topic to my blog, it is going to be called "Going Dutch". I am not going to spoil anything yet you will have to check it out on Wednesday yourself!
I also have plans to move my other blog, to Wix, because well, I Iike this system, it's functionalities it can definitely bring my blog to a different level and I think that is what it will take to grow. It is going to be a huge job to pull it off.
The new music year has started out with a hangover, there is not much on the agenda everybody is probably still recovering from New years. From Thursday you will be able to find a party with the Vrienden van Amstel Live, at Ahoy, Rotterdam. And also in other places as you will find out below.
Thursday 5 January 2023: DeWolff - Paradiso, Amsterdam
DeWolff continues where they have left of on their tour in 2022, with another show on Thursday the 5th in Paradiso. They are also playing a couple of other shows in the Netherlands in January and February, so if you want to go to any other venue please check their concertagenda.
For who doesn't know DeWolff yet, they have been active for almost 10 years now, they started when they were very young. Their music is fantastic. They are originally from the south of the Netherlands, but nowadays I believe they reside in Utrecht where they also have their studio. Musicwise they seems to come out of a different time, it sounds a lot older than it is. If you like long guitar solo's then this is definitely for you. Their show are more or less a jam sessions, thrust me they are great live.
Thursday 5 January 2023: These Go To Eleven superband and Jetlag Jenny - Hedon, Zwolle
These Go To Eleven is one of my favorite evenings to work at Hedon, Zwolle, I have seen many different bands during these shows in the past and unfortunately due to Covid, it came to a stand still, I am glad to see it returning on the Hedon concert agenda.
These Go To Eleven is developed by Seb Dokman better known as the frontman of the Paceshifters. The idea was to give guitar bands a stage and to generate more attention for these guitar and garage bands. After two year of radio silence These Go To Elven kicks off this Thursday with a special edition, for the first and maybe only time? the These Go To Elven superband plays live, consisting of members of Money & The Man, Paceshifters and Magnetic Spaceman, with the support of Jetlag Jenny. For Jetlag Jenny is Hedon their home base, their music being poppunk, it sound similar to another band you might have read about here Call It Off, only maybe slidely harder. They are also going for the catchy poppunk songs. Also good to know, no entrance fee, so go ahead and go watch.
Saturday 7 Januari 2023: Hedon Zwaar Nieuwjaar, Hedon, Zwolle
As is the tradition on the first Saturday of the new year, Hedon Zwaar (heavy) New year. I am going to be honest with you here, I don't know any of these bands on the line up. But for the black/doom/trash metal fans out there here we go: Asphyx, Cryptosis, Graceless, The Lucifer Principle, Grindpad, Massive Assault and Caedere, are playing. This genre of metal is not really my cup of tea but since there is not much else to do this weekend I thought I would at least mention it. I will be there, safely behind the bar, and we will see if there will be anything I like. Also, there might be a lost metal fan reading this so maybe I just made their day. Anyways there are still tickets on sale, so klick on the link in the title and claim yours. And if someone want to educate me, which of these bands would you suggest? Let me know in the comments!
That is it for today have I forgotten any interesting concerts? Drop me a message!
