On my notebook, I made some notes about Groningen.
And funny, because just before I left, I looked old notebooks (for the famous project of "memory book" I've hit two words there is little) and I am pinned notes before date of 97 or 98, when I mention a passage in Groningen.
The occasion was a concert broken in the face when I was manager of the duo my faith completely unmanageable (!) ...
Photo above: The artwork for the EP broken in the face came out on Sub Pop in late 1996. Found today in Europe, but fully available in the USA full of bins resulted in record $ 0.90
I took care of business in two duets Bordeaux, Belly Button and broken in the face, mainly for the booking. "Development of awareness by the scene" as these groups were very visual, it was important, as the angle of attack.
found himself broken in the face to play a series of dates as part of the promo tour of the Festival Fate of St. Quentin in Picardy Nord-, after which it was passed by Belgium (the Magasin 4 in Brussels) and then in Holland for some dates.
At Nijmegen, the concert took place in a squat "managed" by kids who seemed to have 15 or 16 years, a priori kids collect from their homes by parents who had come to feel unable to manage drug problems their offspring. It was rifle.
After the concert, when came the question "where we sleep? "They made us get into a sort of attic where there was not even room to expand coverage so the ground was littered with nails, springs, furniture smashed ... a real dump. With my girl of the day we broke our piggy bank to pay for the hotel.
She made progress since then as it became manager of Black Desire, while me I'm always taking notes on books.
At Groningen, the concert happened at the legendary club Vera, but in the lower room, very small ("Downstage), not in the main room (" Grote Zaal ").
An old poster of the great era Sub Pop, remember that I photographed last night on a pilgrimage back to Vera. Plateau crazy, huh:
I absolutely do not remember where we slept, but I remember that the VW (which I borrowed from my brother) was parked a little "French" and we had a plum. I took the Minutes to put in the trash before leaving, and it has never heard back. It was a time when the European project was really less successful than now.
PS: I say Groningen and Nijmegen, but I think it must be said that French Groningen and Nijmegen. But nobody says. So I do not say, for not the snob, then that is exactly like saying London instead of London or Munich instead of Munich.
