Report: Nekka showcase in AB Club at Ancienne Belgique
That was fun !
On September 29th we played an invited showcase as part of the “Nekkawedstrijd” in the AB Club inside the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. This is a bi-yearly competition for Dutch singer-songwriter style music, ultimately leading to a gig in front of 15k people. If you win, obviously.
This is the story leading up to the show case.
On July 30th (1 day before the deadline) I uploaded the single-take demo-recordings of three brand-new songs I wrote in Dutch the months before. Note: I never really wrote any lyrics in Dutch before that.
Beginning of September, I then got the fantastic news that I was invited for a live audition. Two songs with band, but ‘as acoustic as possible’. Read: acoustic guitar and no full drum set.
Under the new project name “Zwerver” , I started putting together a band with percussion (cajon), cello, and after suggestion from the percussionist, a marimba(!). Apparently a marimba is not a xylophone on steroids. It is a fully ‘pimped-out’ xylophone with resonator pipes that has been on triple steroids for-way-too-long and comes with wheels to move it across the stage. Luckily enough this particular marimba could be disassembled (and re-assembled) easily and transported in a small car.

Now we’re waiting for the outcome !
Video Thursday – Belgian artist Selah Sue (US CD launch)
Selah Sue - This World (Official Video)
To many, this young singer’s self-titled debut record is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, but with an added reggae swagger. I had a hard time picking one song, but I think “This World” is a great introduction to her mix of soul, reggae and “organic hip-hop”.
Here’s a link to the FREE iTunes single that was released this week in the US, together with her album. Help her get in the charts ! .
To close off: a link to a very intimate version of a sad but passionate song, “Summertime Bring me Joy“
