Keep Your Hands Off Her & New Tunes On Our MySpace Page

6 October 2009, 13:29

I forgot to announce Crawfish’s last concert last week sorry, it was our second gig at the Hotel-Restaurant Mont-Vully and although Dave was stressed out on work with a headache to boot, it went well enough; at least it seemed so to me. Fortunately because for the first time ever we got a relatively decent recording of the whole concert!

For this reason I invite you to check out the band’s MySpace page: The Crawfish Blues Band since I just put six track up over there.

As is often his way, Dave launched Keep Your Hands Off Her without warning…
T Model Ford @ Bad Bonn

10 October 2009, 11:03

Didn’t find a video from T Model Ford’s concert at Bad Bonn last Monday so this one from a few days earlier in Brussels will have to do. In fact it’s probably better since it seems they had a better sound guy for that concert, on Monday Blaise and I where a bit peeved at how loud the drums where in relation to T Model’s guitar and voice. Too bad really because it’s not everyday that you get to see a 89 year old bluesman, especially around here…
San Francisco Bay Blues

With the first snow of the winter season covering the ground outside while I browse the web, it was easy to get the blues and all nostalgic about San Francisco when I stumbled on this video…

Supper With A Zombie!

27 October 2009, 18:50

Saturday saw Swissland’s first Zombie Walk and it just so happens that that one of the kids who initialized the idea here lives downstairs so it’s no surprise that a member of this family participated too.

G. since it was him, joined us for supper in his disguise, a healthy bluish green color with cuts made of silicone and strawberry jelly blood. Not much of a hint to recognize him among the near 150 participant walking dead who invaded the city…
The Attack Of The Cultural Specters

29 October 2009, 13:36

Towards the end of August I had a chance meeting with the director of our city’s cultural center, the ABC. He asked me if I would illustrate one of this season’s monthly newsletter cover, which of course I agreed to, even if as he warned: their project was to have the participating artists react to a given theme which I would receive shortly after.

Which I did.

What is art and how to make it in today’s rampant commercialistic society?…
