As the years pass, your body undergoes certain changes. You get a beerbelly, lose the hair on your head… and start to grow hair on other places. Luckely there’s a solution…

Picture: Wio, preparing for de portables reunion tour 2076 (80 years of de portables)

It seems a bit too much lately, Dinosaur, Slint, the Pixies (did I miss some?) but it does seem everyone is reuniting, getting their youthful daemons out for the last time before they settle down.

And hey I am not to complain, I actually went to see all three bands in reunion shows yet never really felt the energy and passion that provoked me when I was younger, not working, not capably of coughing up the much higher entrace fees adapted to their equally evolved - now working - audience.

‘Diep Rivier’ is a poem by the South-African writer Eugene Marais. We made a song out of it for the Marais tribute festival Geen floue trek of tam, sans gene: Marais, organised in Bruges by het Venijnig Gebroed.

Our original plan was to do a playback-version of the song. But we chickened out and decided to play the song live (although we had never rehearsed it). Quite contradictionary, as most artists will be less nervous when they can fake a performance. I guess we’re not very confident fakers :-)

Anyway, everything turned out well. We played another classic by Marais: ‘Staan, poppie, staan’, with Wio on vocals. The crowd, which was a little more high-brow than the average rockfan, liked it. And the host of the evening, who announced every artist in ‘Afrikaans’, praised our ‘unusual interpretations’. Another job well done!
