So...
It's been nearly two months since my last post! Got kind of lazy in the meantime ;)
But a lot has happened, something I may hope hehe.
First of all in about 2 days I'm turning 18. An age where one learns responsibility and adventure. How does this affect me? I guess more partying ;)
Second, around April I applied for an art-school, and voilà you are know reading some gibberish from a future-art-student (:
It sure was a relief to be accepted. The assessment day itself I had to show my portfolio, one home assignment and do two more assignments at the school. It was a day that I felt relaxed and confident, and as one of the teachers gave me positive feedback I was kind of sure it was going to work out. Even though it still took two weeks for the real confirmation of being accepted, it was a pleasing moment!
After all the great news of being accepted, the weeks after were full of PARTY. And I really mean party hardy. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of great fun.
So pretty much because of all the partying and all the booze it's kind of a blank space in my memory (: can't really, or don't really, want to recall all the events hehe.
The latest one I can do, if I may do.
20th of May I went to London Calling in Amsterdam at the Paradiso with my brother. Since he lives there it was pretty chill. London Calling is one of the biggest events for Indie bands in Amsterdam. Pretty much all the bands that play at this festival are on the verge of breaking through. Since we both are active on the music website hypem.com we noticed that names from the website were actually going to play at London Calling. So we had to check it out. It started off with a band that had this old classic rock sound, Wolfpeople. After that Braids, whom I know one song from, with their psychedelic harmonic music. We took a break then and after that Miami Horror was playing. I already know them for a while now and it was an awesome site to see them play live. It's funny to hear them play live, because it's just more band-like compared to the album. The next band was a typical brit-pop-indie band, even though they were Irish, that was okay. Before the last 2 songs we rushed to the next hall because Forst the People was going to play there. It was a small hall and was packed really fast. Due to some electronic error they couldn't play for another 10 mins. So everyone was really getting hyped up! Once they started playing it was just great! The electronic en rock combination was just so live and everyone was just jumping and dancing along to the songs. I must say that was the best performance that night. After that we really had to take a break because I was sweating and tired and blabla.
So we waited for the last performance Holy Ghost! that played at 0:15. As everyones mood was sort of tired and just chilled, the band was still live but still funky. It really reminded me of Chromeo's style.
At 2 we left and took the night bus back home and just chilled at my bro's place. What an awesome night in Amsterdam, and it was my first night too!
Well yeah, that was pretty much all the stuff. Or atleast kinda.
STAY TUNED =D
