“Gij Geile Rotsac” is the latest creation of ‘de portables’ and was inspired by Bertrand & Willeke’s latest creation “Castor” (aka Beaver). You can listen to it here. It was recorded in “Nolby Surround 5.hiss” for an ultimate Lo-fi experience.

Enjoy!

We need more space in Assenede

Published on 22.01.2009 by jurgen

Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be floating gently into space on the 7th of February 2009 AD (or 0 AO as you prefer) since Köhn will be playing live @ Café “Den Hoek” in Assenede.

Café “Den Hoek” will slowly transform into a portal to Jupiter on that evening, especially if you will be there.
All this will happen while expecting the new Köhn LP to come out in a couple of weeks!

Greetings and welcome in the New Age introducing the End Of Times.

It’s not funny, it’s not putting things in perspective, it’s not trying to be smart (i think), it’s not what you expected perhaps, but here’s a video preview of a track of the upcoming Köhn LP “we need more space in the cosmos” out soon on (K-RAA-K)³.

Köhn will perform live @ Vooruit on the 13th of november and on the 14th in Utrecht as part of the Pauze festival. And in an exclusive duo with Eric Craven in Vooruit on the 4th of December! Be there or be out there!

15th of july: Liberation Day

Good News! Yves Leterme resigns as PM. Let’s hope it is final and the King has a lucid moment and agrees with this resignation. This particular resignation once more proves the staggering genius of Yves Leterme. We remember many glorious moments: the incredible alliance with N-VA in order to get enough votes without taking in mind that he would actually have to do what Ward De Bever told him, the bending over to the Dutch when they started nagging about the ‘wegenvignet’, the blood chilling performance of the Brabançonne, the longest government formation ever; and now this, just like Justine Henin, quitting at the top of his career! This deserves a place on the Pukkelpop Stage!

Good News! Bob Mould will not come to the Pukkelpop Festival in Kiewit. He has officially announced this. Well, what a happy coincidence. This situation should offer a great opportunity to Yves Leterme to start a new career: corporate business instigated alternative rock star. Maybe he can become friends with Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield and start a Nu-Black-Metal band called “Leterminal”, bringing you a repertoire of Flemish Folk Traditionals in a style that is tough enough to scare the Walloons into a willingness to separate this country.

Dead Birds, Live Birds, Extinct Birds

Last friday de portables played a pretty good live show for a small audience in Belgium’s finest independent club 4AD in Diksmuide. We shared the bill with ‘the dodos’, an excellent little band from San Francisco. We’re very jealous of their garbage can and we were very impressed by the guy who played that particular object.

The entire portables show can be downloaded right here, right now; especially for those of you who missed and that were quite a lot of people actually! And we could have used your support for the afterwardly World Championship of World Soccer we played against those silly birds from Frisco!

dodo

The setlist was:

1 The Never Ending Song
2 Camper
3 This Time Of Year
4 What Would Djenghis Do?
5 Poisonous Fishy
6 Aradub
7 This Is A Song
8 Vegetarian BBQ
encores:
9 Chariots Of Surf
10 A Waltz
