OT I Blame Coco in Rotterdam yesterday
Posted: 18 Jan 2009 22:06
I saw I Blame Coco last night in Rotterdam. It was great. I was impressed. She is really young. They played 8 songs plus one encore. The house was full (250 people, I believe) and the people around me were very enthousiastic.
It's always too bad that you can't see a show twice in a short time. Everything happens so fast and I'm always overwhelmed with impressions. The sound of the band was sometimes too loud. Her voice couldn't stand out, which was too bad because I believe her voice is a very important thing. I was second row, so I had a good view. Here are some of my photo's and 2 short video's:

They did something completely different with Bohemian Love. It had heavy drums and was almost a rocksong. I liked it very much.
There were some funny moments: She had given away her guitar pick when she left the stage, but she had to ask it back to play the encore. Then she played the intro to the Humner, but couldn't remember the words.... "Just a minute" she said, "It will come back to me". And she turned her back to the audience to think, but it didn't work. So she played another song. One nobody ever heard before (she told us). Well, I didn't know it. It was called something like "Your spying eyes" or "Your Spies".
I had a great night. I hope she will be back soon with more songs.
