It has been quiet here at the blog for a while, high time to get back to the concert agenda I would say, high time for a new Gigs Weekly! The festival season is almost over, but the venue agenda is already filling up with concerts for the fall.This week I have a couple of concerts for you starting on Wednesday with a band I am a big fan of. Let's get started.
Wednesday 6 September 2023: The Dead South - OLT Rivierenhof, Deurne, Belgium
Unfortunately they are not playing in the Netherlands this fall, but they have one last stop, at our neighbor in Belgium. It might be a bit of a drive but I think this band will definitely be worth your while The Dead South is one of those bands that has been on my go see live list for the longest time, however have not yet managed to see them play. Their sound is amazing with this raw voice, banjo and acoustic guitar. It reminds me of those old western films. This show is the last on their European tour, then they continue to the UK and Australia afterwards.
Vrijdag 8 september 2023: Squid - TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht
This is a band I have to thank 3FM (radio) dj Joerien Renkema for, as she used to have this item in her program called the "Muziekcorrespondent" where she presented new music to the 3FM audience. Squid's song "Houseplant" was introduced to me this way. It stuck, it is so catchy and fast paced I really like it, and at the time it was very renewing. Squid mixes postpunk with jazz and krautrocks, which is what gives them this unique sound. Are you interesten in something a little different? Go check them out, there are still tickets available, as per usual click the title link to go to the ticket page.
Vrijdag 8 september 2023: Alain Johannes - Hedon, Zwolle
Alain Johannes, to me this is an unknown name, but he is not that unknown in the music industry, as he has written many a song for bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures. He produced for Jimmy Eat world and even wrote a song for Adam Lambert. Not a small name as it comes to songwriting and producing. In between all his work for other artists he also written his own albums, which is the music that he will be representing at this evening. For this tour he has taken with him, the Dutch band Iron Jinn. A Dutch stoner rock super band, which will also be performing with Alain Johannes as the backing band. This makes the evening definitely more interesting for me, as I really like Iron Jinn. I got to say though this evening will not be for everyone, it is for the die hard music lovers of the genre. So are you that die hard? Go on over to the ticket page, as there are still tickets available.
Vrijdag 8 september 2023: The Mary Wallopers - Rotown, Rotterdam
Are Zwolle of Utrecht to far to travel for you? No worries I have got you covered, there is also this cool concert going to happen in Rotown, Rotterdam that you might like. The Mary Wollopers,, I have written about them befor in my Eurosonic post in Januari. It was one of my go see bands for Eurosonic, this Friday you will get another chance to see them play. Their music is traditional Irish songs, comparable to the Dubliners, and also might be interesting for fance of Flogiing Molly. One thing is for sure, it will make your beer taste even better, 1 Guinness please!
