Re: Nev's party

["Hein Hurkmans" <viewblue@xs...nl>]

A great evening it really was. Nice venue and a wonderful atmosphere. I 
guess there is mo better way to celebrate your 40th birthday than having 
the aeroplanes to rock you towards the end of the first day of your 
fourties. Nev, you absolutely made me forget about Wojtek's absence with 
your wild dancing and backing vocals in "Breaking..." I even spoke shortly 
to a fellow Dutchman, presently living in Shrewsbury. He seemed to have 
attended the same show at the Amsterdam Paradiso way back in 1991...it's a 
small world after all. Hopefully the announced cd is really going to be 
released somewhere later this year, as there are too many good new songs 
that don't deserve some anonymous life (Raise the roof high, Surreal thing 
etc..). And a concert on the continent would be more than welcome also. 
But, it's nice to see them play unfamiliar venues like the Buttermarket. 
Shrewsbury and the Shropshire area really were  impressive. We visited 
some small picturesque places, and made a few long walks through the 
lovely countryside
(inspecting the rural Shropshire landscape...cause I'm being mad about 
agriculture (ha ha). 
I returned to Amsterdam only on Sunday, having the knowledge that the next 
few months the energy of the Shrewsbury gig will linger on in my brain and 
body, hardly any other band being able to evoke a similar state of 
excitement (well, tomorrow it's up to "South San Gabriel", some alt. 
country group from USA).
And maybe this weekend one fine Norwegian band bashing on barrels, playing 
some exciting kind of "hoompa" music will play here...yes I guess this 
Kaizers Orchestra was one of the 2003 surprises for me. 
Cheers!

Hein

    Hi Steve
     
    Thanks for the good wishes. 
     
    Even though it was my birthday I can honestly say that they absolutely 
rocked!
     
    Hopefully everyone else will agree. I was Wojteck for the encore... 
great fun!
