And so we’re back from our last gig in Middlesex University in London and we have to agree: it was absolutely gorgeous! The past years show at Hope & Anchor was already good enough but this years show is where Britain’s really opened their hearts up to let the foreign music leak inside. During the show we’ve been offered their complete attention, smiles, jumps, dances, hand claps and laughs but after the performance we were rewarded with honest positive feedback.

Middlesex University is a huge audio/video engineer, producer, etc. qualification establishment. This “battle of the bands” was a part of their annual production project. So the aim here was to create a complete musical TV show episode. All band have been filmed before, during and after the performance and had a more in depth interview taped and edited. We should get the video soon and we’ll obviously share it with you straight away. We were kind of surprised by this fact and, intimidated by all these people asking questions and all these cameras, we saw our Belgian accent reappear (@ all the porn movie actors out there who read this: guys, how d’you manage to concentrate while surrounded by a huge production crowd? Please drop us an e-mail.). However it went fluently during and after the performance.

By the end of the event some of the members of the jury said we were a tight,great sounding, the killers like, outstanding band but hence we were not their type of music. Other members disagreed. All in all the winner of the battle were “The Charming Thieves” (great band!) but the reaction of the crowd was a testimonial of their disagreement with this choice and we’ve collected a huge amount of “it should be you…”-like comments and feedbacks. Guys, for us, this is the best price a band could ever expect from a contest so thank you thank you thank you! We promise you to come back and this time there will be a free Belgian chocolate give await for real!
