Last week we had a little try-out show on our boat. A night with new songs and old friends. It was a great night, the beer was cold and the water in which we jumped afterwards (oh we brave souls) was even colder. Thanks for all of you who came and crowded the place. Photo’s by Azarja Harmanny
Results for the GPNL are in… and the most surprising part is that we still have enough strength to type this. For be it known that we played one of our maddest sets before an audience of 1300 people tonight. Finals GPNL.
Of course we didn’t win, but we did it our way, all the way. And it was good. Sound could have been better and second place pays jack shit, but we went out there hard, it was blazing lights all around.
UPDATE:
As we promised, there is video. The wonderful guys from faceculture filmed us for a bit before and during the finals. Here’s the result. Keep your eyes out for a short documentary about the Utrecht music scene coming soon…
Nadat het podium van de liters zweet is ontdaan wordt wederom een bekende van LiveXS verwelkomd. Stairs To Nowhere is als live-act gegroeid en zet wellicht de meest spannende show van de avond neer. De combinatie van onorthodoxe songstructuren met de goed uitgekiende lichtshow vormt een event op zich en kan rekenen op grote waardering in de zaal. De band wisselt, mede door toedoen van twee drummers, bombastische escapades af met onheilspellend rustige passages.
Check out the video for ”le grote prize”. We had a lot more fun in there than you can see on the video. We made all the camera’s film at completely crazy angles, got my hand bleeding like a bastard on the stainless studiofloor and went all civil and cleaned up the blood and glass off the floor afterwards… Real fun, great guys over there. check out their efforts right here. HD recommended!
