Reporting from ZXZW…

Hey people,

Here I am in Tilburg, the host city of the  ZXZW Festival, where I played 2 days ago with my friends Stu, Goto80 and Computadora. The gig was amazing, and the people were properly given discipline as we did expect from such a fierce lineup.

Everybody here has been super nice and we have received a lot of positive comments from party goers, so I can say with confidence that the mission has been accomplished.

Also it seems we can now hear echoes on the local press. The online news site 3VOOR12 has put up a review of our night here. Obviously is in dutch, a translation will soon be available in the Press section of the website.

We can find a bunch of nice pics of that night in that link, I leave you with a few before signing out, all of them copyrighted to Mr. Herman Stehouwer:

News breaker: Amsterdam converted to the 8 Bit World Order

Phew, what a weekend!

After the gig in The Hague, with very few hours of sleep and a tiresome stroll around the city, I went to Amsterdam straight into the soundcheck at The Sugar Factory for my gig at VERSCH. I arrived a bit late thanks to getting a bit lost (thanks for the wrong directions, Google Maps), but all was fine and after a nice and needed shower, I watched the cool VJ performance of Liquid Labs (one of its members an oldschool C64 crackscener no less!), then the guys from Sin Sin and after that I started my set which went on pretty damn smooth, finally solving the problems of last night, which I hope they don’t return. In any case the conclussion is that I *need* a new computer. I probably buy first one of those snazzy Acer Aspire One subnotebooks, because I also miss to have both Mac and PC platforms, and it’s super cheap. I think it’s better to spend my money in this than on an Asus eeePC, even if this Acer jobbie is bigger than the Asus one, it’s still smaller than my iBook G4 12″.

8GB lays waste on The Netherlands

Hello everyone,

Just arrived to Amsterdam, capital city of The Netherlands, where I will spend the rest of this month, performing at various dates around the BeNeLux area.

This is my first time here and so far it seems pretty cool.
I got two gigs right away coming up this weekend.

First, the new King Kong gallery space will have a gig in support of the Ground3 festival in The Hague. I’ll be playing as 8GB (despite the flyer communication ;) ):
