13th Sept - Rotterdam, Holland

After the calamity of Den Haag we have been taking a few days of rest, relaxation, good food and music with our host and new tour manager Jankke. Allthough it felt strange not performing it was probably needed. The sun is blazing today as we head to the venue, Arnol’s car has turned into a fucking oven. The venue tonight is a cafe by the port of Rotterdam, which has a lovely landscape view of the harbour. As we start to set up i dash out to check what pickings there are on the street. i immediately come across a load of fly tipped stuff. I take Die Hard on VHS, 10 pairs of shoes, a bread bin and a saucepan lid and head back to the venue.

A last minute addition on tonights bill is ‘Drunken Harrings’, the duo of janeke and arnol. The duo was conceived in an after dinner improv session a few days earlier which culminated in them gargling water together, trying to push out new sounds with there mouth and the next day recording the video on this page

The harrings open up the event with an excellent Iive performance outside near the water. Gargling, spitting and coughing there way through there set with a Manhaten esq backdrop.  DJ sajji is spinning the tunes, which sound like obscure folk music through granula synthsis. I’m up next. I start with nothing in my box, surrounding me is various containers and objects i can add as i see fit.

Caught the set on video this time





Fureau Keel VriL, is next performing one of his best sets yet on the tour, almost falling into hiphop territory! 3 short and noisy vocal improv sets finish the event featuring myself, arnol and janneke
