Ode to youth

Flood floor shows. apparently a new promoter, that will organize floor show, as the name already says. first band on tonight’s bill was More than meets the eye. not really my cup of tea but they weren’t bad. they’re good at what they do. the only thing that bothered me was the amount of youngsters that had to show off their latest dancing-moves. second band was Lasting traces. I’ve already seen them at Perceptions-fest last year, so I was looking forward to them. to me this show was way better. the sound was better, they just sounded better. everybody stood close to the band, that helped as well. next up was Midnight souls, one of the best Belgian bands at the moment. no complains, they’re always tight. I saw them at Rock Herk a couple of weeks ago but the atmosphere here was much better, due to the fact it was a rather small venue. second to last band, Grieved. never heard them before, but they really blew me away. the entire band was so full of energy, it was amazing. they played a short set though, because they had to stick to the time-table. then it was time for Gold kids. I only go to see one song at Rock Herk so I was glad they played here again. they were amazing, but I wasn’t expecting anything less. another band full of energy, just the way I like them. I have the feeling their set was a bit shorter than usual as well. nevertheless, I enjoyed them.
