Noorderslag

January 17th 2011

I'm just back from Groningen were we've played at the Noorderslag Festival! Unfortunately things didn't go as planned as the whole setup of my keyplayer collapsed during 'Dreams Of Gold', the third song we did... However, we tried to make the best of it and just kept on going.

For all you sensation lovers, at 1:15:25 you can see the the keys collapsing and after that GMB and others that try to help. Also check out the great pictures made by Sander Baks right here!
