Lowlands

Certainly the best festival of Europe, Lowlands! This yearly festival in Holland ended yesterday and of course it had been a great party again. I´ve seen bands like the Plain White T´s, HIM, The Wombats, The Hives, The Pigeon Detectives, The Frattelis, We Are Scientists, Editors, Sex Pistols, N*E*R*D and a lot more! Three awesome full of great music.

The Pigeon Detectives

It all started with the Pigeon Detectives. Luckily I was just on time for this concert, cause I love the Pigeon Detectives! It was the sixth time I've seen them, but still every gig of them is different. I have to say that they have grown up since the first times I've seen them and I liked them better before. But who can resist this naughty frontman Matthew Bowman? He really knows how to entertain the audience and makes every gig an awesome party! I think the Pigeons are the second best britpop band on earth... So who might be the best?

The Wombats

That is an easy question, the Wombats! The Wombats play with such an amount of energy, that just incredible! The songs sound cheerful, but do have an deeper meaning. It sounds like the perfect combination. The Bats are absolutely charming!

Sex Pistols

The second day I really looked forward to see the Sex Pistols. Not that I like their music so much, but you have to admit that the Sex Pistols are important history. They are legends! The band where all the punk started! I certainly agree with their statement that Punk isn't dead...But I think the Sex Pistols are. I expected a lot more of this band. Te songs were alright, but the didn't perform the way I thought they would do. I remembered the last gig from Iggy and the Stooges on Lowlands and I hoped it to be that kind of performance. But I am happy that I have seen them, just to be able to say: I've seen the Sex Pistols;)

HIM

I am a big fan of Finnish bands and that's why I really needed to see His Infernal Majesty. I really like the attitude that surounds this band. Ville Valo is the ultimate singer for this band and his mysterious look makes me really enjoy his dark romantic music.

The Hives

Another band with another kind of awesome attitude are the Hives. The singer of this band has such a big attitude, that it is soooo funny! One moment he said: It is sooo hot in here, maybe that is because we are sooo hot! Then he made us blew wind to him with our hands and he said: Well I needed a reason to take of my shirt cause it looks soooo beautiful! Absolutely the most funny singer I've ever seen! The songs were great as well. He dared to compare his band with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones...But I have to say that songs like Two timing touch and broken bones and Hate to say I told you so are absolutely punk rock classics;)

N*E*R*D

They were pronounced as the only real rockstars... I don't really get that, cause it ain't real rock what they are playing. Despite that they do rock! Lowlands was singing along, Pharrel really got the audience ready to party!

Plain White T's

The real rockstars on Lowlands were the Plain White T's!!! I love them sooo much:) They were the best band on Lowlands! Their songs are powerful, energetic, absolutely beautiful and their ballads are just breath taking... You might know the song 'Hey There Delilah', I think that the lyric of this song is just brilliant... One moment he sang it without instruments and that was sooo amazingly beautiful, I can't even describe it... I was blowing bubbles at that concert and at one moment Tom, the singer(third one from the left on the picture) said: There are a lot of girls in the front and that girl over there is blowing bubbles:) So I may sound crazy but that made me so incredeble happy!!!So all excited I tried to blow more bubbles, but I blew to hard and he said: Oooow that one didn't work out that well... After the gig I went to get autographs and the guitarist said: hey you are the girl with the bubbles:) When I came to Tom he said the same and I gave him a heart shaped lollypop. He was really happy with it and held it by his heart like a heartbeating, drew me a heart and made me the happiest girl in the world!:)

Gigs gigs and more gigs...

Finally! My holiday just started and I am soooo happy about that! Just bought my ticket for Lowlands a great Dutch festival! So, a few months to go and then I am going to see the Kooks, Anouk, Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, Amy McDonald, N*E*R*D, the plain white t's, the Pigeon Detectives, the Sex Pistols, We are scientists, The Wombats, HIM, The Ting tings and more of those fantasic bands. There are rumours that Fall Out Boy and Tokio Hotel will come as well:) Well I hope so!

I was thinking about all the concerts I've seen and came to find that I've seen a lot! And I am beginning to forget some of them:O *I think* So I'm going to write all the artists I've seen...

I am shocked!!!! 140 bands in almost two years! That is insane!!! When I looked up the bands I realised that I remember almost nothing from some of these bands.And I am sure that I have forgotten a lot as well! The ones that stand under the row - are bands I hardly remember or bands that I absolutely disliked... The ones with ***** are the best artists and concerts I've ever seen, these ones I remember every detail of....So 140 bands, that means 140 hours of livemusic, that means poor ears,that means 560 rockstars, that means almost 6 days music without breaks, that means 1 band every 5 days! That is not totally fair, cause I've seen a lot on festivals...Lowlands 2 times, Pinkpop 2 times, London Calling 3 times... And still waiting for that one band to come again...Deep Insight

Geeky freaky London Calling...

Alright I am not going to say a lot about the London Calling gig I've been last saturday. I used to LOVE London Calling! But this time I was actually very disappointed...I looked like everything had changed, the music the style, the clothes..Is everybody fed up with the nice cheerful britpop nowadays? I undersatnd that there has been an overdosis of new britpop bands, but that is something to be proud of! I love britpop as it uses to be. The britpop from the Wombats, the Pigeon detectives, the Rifles, Look See Proof, The View.....whatever, even the Arctic Monkeys! But I don't like things such as the Klaxons, Cage the elephant, broken records and other stuff that appeared this time on London Calling! Especially the Rascals were horrible...I almost fel asleep while watching them! This new sound is a mix of some kind of rock with electro and dance. It has no remarkable conrous and it contains strange instruments. You won't believe me but I have seen a chello and a violin on stage!!! Not that I didn't have any fun, cause it was fun, but I was also sooo tired cause I just returned from my snowboardholiday that same day...And when the music is terrible I also love to watch the artist..At least when they look good. In seems to be 'hot'to look as a nerd...I am sorry but trust me that is not 'hot'or 'attactive'at all. They all looked like geeks, some made like geeks, some real old fashioned geeks, that should have never been in a band if it wasn't 'hot'nowadays.But well...trends come and go..You will see, just like the skinny jeans that 'should'dissapear according to the fashion desingers...We will strike back...And we will come back harder and faster than ever before!!!

The Wombats in Amsterdam!!!

I LOVE the Wombats!!! What an amazing band! Two days ago I saw them in concert. I went early cause I wanted to be in the front. So right after school I went to the 'Melkweg', it was 4 o'clock but their were only six people in front of the door..So I thaught I might get to eat something first. I ate a pizza and at six o' clock we went back to the concerthall. We walked and suddenly I saw a guy with funny hair and red sun glasses (it was snowing..). Then I realised it was Murph!!!The singer!!! So I directly looked for the rest of the band, and yes, they were walking after him:) I was shocked, sooo long have I waited for this concert and sooo long I had been lokking forward to it. This moment.... I whispered to my friend: They are the band! That is TORD!!! And she directly went like: Is that TORD?! On a very loud tone... So, I know it's bad, but we went stalking them...My friend wasn't that much experienced as I am, so she walked like three meters behind them, taking pictures with het mobile, and I was 20 meters behind them on the other side of the road...They went to a place were they got a photoshoot with a chessboard, in the snow;) After that they went back to the concerthall, were they got in and we had to wait before it in the snow:( After waiting one and a half hour, we finally got in...but still had to wait for an hour inside, although there the temperature had been more likely....The first band started, a Dutch band called the Hype. The Hype had been okay. The singer was a great performer (for Dutch terms). They have really catchy nice songs that perfectly fit the audience. The guy that played the keyboard was really really weird, he looked and acted like he was totally wasted. Sometimes that just makes an artist funny, but this time it was just horrible to see, cause you see that it is just a beginning band. Beginning bands first need to prove themselves, before going nuts! Exept for the keyboarder and the bassist, was the band fine. They played a cover of the Beatles, which the audience dearly appriciated. The played for half an hour and at half past nine the Wombats came finally!!! Although I had seen them just a few hours ago, it felt like I haven't seen them in decades!!! I screemed my hart out! They started with 'Lost in the post', a very good cheerful song! A great starter:) During the show they played all of their best songs, like 'School uniforms', ' Moving to New York,' Backfire at the disco', ' My first wedding','Little miss pipedream', 'Here comes the anxiety,'Patricia the stripper', 'Kill the director', 'Party in a forest' and of course 'Lets dance to joy division'!!!! Tord also performed his Postman Pat in Norwegian, wich was very cute!!The Wombats are just sooo original! You might think that this is the next of a thousand crappy Britpop bands, but that is totally not true! The funny thing about the Wombats is that the lyrics are actually a little depressing , but due to the melody and the o o o's from Tord it sounds sooo cheerful!!! That is also what they are trying to tell with the song 'Lets dance to joy division', they are trying to say, that although joy division is a depressing band, you should make a joke out of it and dance on it! Which I think is a wonderful thought, look at the bright side of life, whatever happens, keep smiling;) Not all their songs are as brilliant as 'Lets dance to joy division', but the important thing is, that they grew a lot compared to a few years ago! The Wombats make a joke out of everything, but I believe that especially the singer has also a darker side, wich brings a great performance and great lyrics;) And that is probably why this concert had been sold out really early!!! I don't know if they were totally wasted, stoned or just themselves, one thing is for certain, they totally rocked the stage. Everthing was perfect! At the end Tord and Dan jumped into the stage. I caught Tord and he almost fell, but I managed to get him up;) After that Murph kicked the keyboard into the audience, people were really fighting for it! I did not, cause I already had a lot trouble keeping Tords waterbottle for myself;) The big rockout ended with some crazy jelling from Murph and Dan. And then I knew.... This had been one of my best concerts ever! (After Deep Insight and the Lostprophets). Althought it is not the heaviest rock ever, the Wombats rock harder then enyone else;)!! After the show my friend wanted to leave right away...But I had other plans... If you bought a single or a cd you woud get a afterparty bracelet, which alowes you to have a meet and greet!!! And even though my friend didn't want to go, I got two bracelets for the price of one;) I begged her to come with me and finally she agreed to go for ten minutes...The problem was, the band came after an half an hour:O She was not happy with me at all.... I know..I should think a little more about my friends at a concert and a little less about the band...But NO I am not willing to change myself:P I got a photo and authographes, but not from Tord, cause he wasn't there:( And I got a really special authograph, cause Murph wrote under it 'But to the lizard of my own hell!!!' What the hell does that mean???!!! Please if you know, tell me what it means!!! And I was the only one with that:) In the army a Wombat means a waste of money brains and time, but that is definitely not what they are!! They had been worth all my money, brains and time!!! They are my favourite marsupials ever, and if that means I have to be the lizard of his own hell....Well I'll go for it;)

Marsupial love

End of the month winners!!!

Not one! Not one concert have I seen this month...it's a shame:( It had been a horrible time...But there are going to be some differences in this!!!! In 9 days I am going to see 30 seconds to mars!! And I can't wait!!!! After that The Wombats, Velvet Revolver, London Calling and Vanilla sky are coming:) That's great (ecxept for the fact that it is spread all over spring).. But I bleieve that in spring some other bands will announce a brand new tour:) So, that means I have no concert of the month..... But if you have any suggestions, please tell me about it! But I do have a best band for you! What band will it be? Can I have some drums please? No? Well then I will just tell you... It is Uncommonmenfrommars!!! What? Yes a difficult name, but you will get used to it, if you read my blog more often!!! Uncommonmenfrommars is a nice punk rock band from France and they really rock! I could have seen them this month, but I wasn't able to, it was to far away from my hometown, such a shame:( And what will be the best cd of the month? Well that has to be ' A guide to love loss and desperation' the cd of the Wombats! I have listened to this cd a lot this month, that it actually drives me a bit crazy now...But I enjoyed it! It's a great joymaker in this dark wintermonths.... I think that the best lyric of the month is The kill from 30 seconds to mars, I just came to find what the meaning of the song was and it's really beautiful, although I can't find myself in it. I guess you're courious now, aren't you? Haha you'll just have to wait...It may be a great subject for a next blog!

The Wombats...

Our favourite marsupials... The funniest band in the world? Guess who! The Wombats!!! This band always knows how to cheer you up with their britpop/pop/punk songs like "let's dance to joy division" and "backfire at the disco". This band from Liverpool (with one exeption) has given already two great performances at London Calling in Amsterdam and they totally blew everybody away! The one exeption is Tord Overland Knudsen, this cute bassist is from Norway. Tord might be the shortest of the three, but he is definately the biggest character from the band! I haven't seen a lot of rockartist that smile that much as he does:) It just fits the music, the songs always make me smile. Especially the accapella song "girls, boys and marsupials" It goes like this: "Tales of girls and boys and girls and marsupials" that's actually the only sentence in the song... But they clap and make funny noises during the song and that makes it completly unique and brilliant! Tord also knows how to entertain, he sings the song "postman pat" accapella on stage, but....in Norwaygan:) Murph, the singer of the band is totally crazy! But in a funny way...He might not be the greatest vocalist, but that doesn't care! This band is not the one to listen critically at, it's the band you should laugh about and have fun with! Sometimes I just don't understand why people can't enjoy a concert, when the atrist don't play brilliant. At a concert you just have to go with the flow, most important is the performance and the Wombats will get an A for that!!!

Here is one of their lyrics and the video of "Let's dance to joy divison"


I'm back in liverpool and everything seems the same
but I worked something out last night that changed this little boy's brain
a small piece of advice that took 22 years in the make
and i will break it for you now please learn from my mistakes
please learn from my mistakes

let's dance to joy division and celebrate the irony
everything is going wrong but we're so happy
let's dance to joy division and raise our glass to the ceiling
'cos this could all go so wrong
but we're just so happy yeah, we're so happy

so if you're ever feeling down grab your purse and take a taxi
to the darkest side of town
that's where we'll be and we will wait for you
and lead you through the dancefloor up to the dj booth
you know what to ask for
you know what to ask for

so let the love tear us apart
I found the cure for a broken heart
let it tear us apart let the love tear us apart


So what does this song mean? I think that it is about having fun, despite of the fact that everything is going wrong.

Best new band...

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the best new band of all...

... I have seen a lot of new cool bands this year! Most of them I have seen on London Calling, London Calling is a great opportunity for new bands to get famous. I've seen my favourite new bands there; the wombats, the pigeon detectives and look see proof. A choise between those had been very difficult, because they all have there charme.... The Pigeon Detectives are very energetic and have a super great performance! Their songs are catchy and they play cheerful britpop;) Yeah..I know what you think..Another britpop band??? Yes, but they are seriously they kings of Britpop, they leave all the others far, very far behind them!!! The Wombats make britpop as well, but also not in the usual way... They are soooo funny!! And their music is original, in a positive way! I just love them:) Look see proof is, what a surprise......Britpop! Listen to their songs like casualty, discussions and local hero and you will understand why I like them so much:) But one has to be the winner... And the award goes to...tadadada... Ooo it is soooo difficult:( Well you have to know that I actually love them all, so I let some other people decide and the chose.... Look see proof!!!! Congratualions:) They are the only band from those three that isn't quite famous in the Netherlands yet and the only one that hasn't released an album here yet, but I assure you....

They are going to be HUGE!!!!!!!

The best concert...

Actually....this is an easy one... I have been to a lot of nice concerts in 2007... But what makes a good concert? I think that performance is the most important...Bands with great performances are Deep Insight, Lostprophets and The Pigeon Detectives:) But you don't win my vote with only a good performance. Quality, personality, sound, syle and looks are also very important! I actually don't really know bands that have a great performance , but don't play well. I do know bands with quality, but without performance...That gets us to the worst band I've seen this year... Believe me, Lagwagon! Lagwagon is sooo bad! I've seen them on my birthday and I expected a great punk-rock band! They did rock, they played not bad..But they were soo ugly and their performance was soooo bad!! Please, don't ever go to one of their concerts...I'm sorry I have to be honest...The band that played before them had been a lot better! They are called Uncommonmenfrommars...Yeah, I know very difficult name:P But they rock! They jumped around with a lot of energy, with their green and red dyed hair...You should go see these nice French punkrock skaters!! http://www.myspace.com/uncommonmenfrommars They were awesome! But not as awesome as the Lostprophets! Still love them... As I already said, the Lostprophets are stage animals! I have seen them twice this year.. Yeah.....Awesome!!! http://www.myspace.com/lostprophets But since I allready chose the Lostprophets for best band of the year, I have to choose another for the best concert...This year I have had two favourite concerts...I know that London Calling is more like a festival, but since you don't have to sleep in a the rain and have to eat fast food for a couple of days, I would like to call it a concert... The second London Calling this year had been soooo amazing, that they deserve to be the concert of the year!!! I'm still not sure if I agree with my choice...Cause the Lostprophets had been also very amazing... But the nice thing from London Calling is, is that you get to know new bands, you see a lot of bands instead of just one, you get the chance to talk to some artists and London Calling lasts for two days;)I have seen some great bands on London Calling, like the clocks, The Wombats, Look see proof, Assembly now, the Maccabees, and a lot more!!! The picture is of the nicest guitarist (look see proof) from London Calling;) A tribute to you Jason!!!

And the winners are...

It is already the end of the week, end of the month and also the end of the year! That means that I have to pronounce you, the winners of the best concert, the best band, best upcoming band, the best lyric, best cd and the best guitarist of the whole year!!! It had been a difficult decission, cause every band has their own charme, every lyric their own meaning and every guitarist their own style... We will start with the best band..

The best band...

This had been the most difficult one...Lets start with the seven best bands... I think that bands like, the pigeon detectives, deep insight, lostprophets, the wombats, my chemical romance and look see proof did a very good job this year. The Pigeon detectives are amazing, they proof that you can achieve a lot with doing simple things. They have simple lyrics like; I am so in love with you, I just don't know what I should do, I'll do nothing and I'll just dream, I never seem to get it right, It seemed that tonight, I don't know how to say goodbye and if I did I surely cried!. Those lyrics may look simple, but I think that they are brilliant! Great singalongs and they just make you feel happy:) They grew a lot in one year and their performace is fenomenal!The Wombats are amazing as well, their songs are also great singalongs and feel good songs! Their performance is in another way than that of the pigeon detectives fenomenal..They seem to be funny and spontanious as well, and I think attitude is also very important for a band, especially for an upcoming band! Look see proof is also a great new upcoming band, also britpop, but a little bit more serious...They are really talented and I think that they are going to be huge! I can't get enouph of their songs, you really should listen to them, they sound great!!! Their performance is very energetic, just really good! And the guitarist is a cutie;) that counts as well!!My Chemical Romance is a very famous, but very good band! Their last cd "the black parade" made a real statement! Song like "dead" and "famous last words" are just very very good! But I have to admit, that bands like the pigeon detectives and the lostprophets have a better performance...The Lostprophets are the kings of the performance! Their songs are awesome and they are just stage animals!!! Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins is according to a lot of fans the most sexy man on this planet, and I can't disagree;) They have so much energy on stage and I have never seen a crowd so wild!! Ian loves to crowdsurf and the fans go wild just to be able to touch him...Their last cd called: "A liberation transmission" is a little poppier than the others, but I love it! Although the next album is going to be darker, the songs become more powerful and sooooo amazingly good!!! New songs like "the dead", " next stop atrocity" and "weapon" are one of the best I've ever heard! They grew a lot this year! Their style changed, musically, but also in their clothes and they have the best style I could imagine;) Deep Insight stays my favourite band! They have everything...the style, the quality, the performance, the sound and the look! They haven't been in the Netherlands this year..It had almost been two years ago, but still I think about them every day...they have something magical and they are soooo nice! The nicest artists on the planet;) I just don't get why they don't break trough in the Netherlands...They are busy making an album right now, I am very excited about that! But I wished that that would come to the Netherlands:( They stay my favourite band ever, because of their music and giving me the best day of my life, but I can't say that they are the band of the year, simply because they didn't give us an album this year and didn't perform for us this year... So for the best band I have to go for.....tadadada....The Lostprophets!!!! If you could make me cry at a gig, you deserve it!!!!

Some awesome concerts...

After a dark time, with not more than one nice concert a month, the sun is getting up again! When I checked the incredible site that is always able to tell me what gigs I should go to, I saw a fresh new list of awesome gigs I have to go to! It is just like some people say as an excuse to buy clothes: 'The dress, o my god! it was begging me to buy him!!! Please take me home!' Well that is how the gigs at the site were looking as me as well... I just have to go!! Do you wanna know what bands are coming to the Netherlands? Even if you don't wanna know, I'm gonna tell you anyway;) Well, The Wombats are coming! I absolutely love them! They make cheerful britpop, with funny lyrics;) I have seen them twice on london calling (a festival with upcoming britpop bands) and you just couldn't resist loving them, with their energetic performance, accapella songs (like postman pat) and the never ending smile of the bassist;) A gig from the Wombats means lots and lots and lots of fun!! You should check them out: http://www.myspace.com/thewombatsuk no...you really really really must check them out;) Oo and a legend is coming to Amsterdam! Velvet Revolver!! Velvet revolver makes totally different music than the Wombats. I think you can it call hard-rock, or something like that! You probably know this already, but Velvet Revolver is half of Guns and Roses (also a very great band I think)! For example Slash is in it! Woow I think Slash is the best guitarist ever! He plays sooo incredibly good it always gives me a shiver, when I hear one of his guitar solos! Have you ever heard november rain from guns and roses? I never really listened good to it, until yesterday. That song is sooo amazing!! It starts a little bit soft, then a slowly but incredible solo comes up, the song gains more power due to that and when you think the song ends....Some piano starts playing and an incredibly amazingly awesome solo comes up and the song becomes heavy. Well I was very surprised and I have to say that I have never heard a song before with such a great structure! I have never seen Velvet Revolver before, so I can't wait untill the first of april!http://www.myspace.com/velvetrevolver A week after that the Rifles come to The Netherlands. They are very nice, with their catchy britpop thats sticks in your head forever;) I've seen them twice, one time on london calling and one time on lowlands (the biggest festival in the Netherlands). Check them out! And especially the song local boy! http://www.myspace.com/therifles You might know 30 seconds to mars... No? Well, but you know Jared Leto don't cha;)? Jared Leto is an actor and singer of the very famous band 30 seconds to mars! This band is coming here on the ninth of februari:) I love this band, and not only because of Jared Leto (like a lot of girls do..). 30 seconds to mars makes, well what should I call it.., hard-rock? emo? Maybe I should just call it very nice music! They have their own army of fans, make a real impressive American performance and have magical lyrics. Once you have heard the deep and meaningful voice of Jared Leto, I promise you, you can't stop listening anymore. And if that doesn't make you listen to it, well you should take a look into his eyes... It is like they curse you so you will never be able to forget 30 seconds to mars...

Welcome to the Punk Rocking Chick universe!

Hi there! Welcome! On this site, I'm going to tell you all you wanna know about my favorite bands, lyrics, concerts. Hopefully I will do some interviews with my favorite artists as well. Who my favorite bands are? Well ... Deep Insight from Finland is my favorite band. WHAT?? You don't know Deep Insight?? Deep insight are: Jukka Nikunen (vocals), Johannes Ylinen (guitar), Jore Rantalainen (bass), and Ville Kinaret (drums). I also like punk rock bands like The Lostprophets, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, and Greenday. But I have a broad taste and I also like bands like The Pigeon Detectives, The Wombats, Look See Proof, Assembly Now.
